Dang kids and Guns

Isn't it sad to watch what is happening in our schools? Where do you place blame? Parents, video games, violence are all great scapegoats but who is to blame when an adult walks in and starts shooting up the schools?

Another incident today in Orange Co Fl. Local School on lockdown with one student grave condition after a fight ensued and one student stabbed another. I'm afraid this is never going to end.

This is really sad and sickening and sometimes you just don't know who to blame. I mostly blame the gov for putting the breaks on parents deciplining their own children. You can't spank your kids when they do bad, but yet put them in electric chair if they kill someone?

I'm starting to think that some of the blame needs to fall on the schools. They are not taking the neccesary precautions to make kids safe. Two days ago a kid got stabbed in school by another student over a GIRL. Do all schools need to have metal detectors??

just gave the 12 year old a good spank-in plus selling his dirt bike because hes getting Es in school as a result of this he now knows dad ain't BS in and there is consequence in life that's the hello sissy parents directed towards you . treat the little (edit) as kids not a friend and love them the same time and it starts when there in diapers.

Blame T.V and the movies.All the macho heros,even the karatie guys do a bit of unbelieveable gun toting.That,and too many years of the bleeding heart liberals stripping our societys of discipline and mutual respect have and are taking thier toll.

All I know is that when I was in high school probably half the students had rifles or shotguns in the "easy rider" rifle racks in the back window of their pickup trucks. Most carried pocket knives from grade school on. Never a threat to shoot someone and the most violence done was mutually arranged fist fights off campus after school. Strangely enough we also said th pledge of alliegence each day and the Lord's prayer.

This is the world Liberalism has brought us and it's going to get worst.

I've had full and free access to any gun that I ever wanted since I was 12. The fact is that school violence is actually down. The issue is the media covers it now, they seem to cover what goes wrong more than what goes right. The school shootings are tragic, but blaming guns, video games, t.v. etc, is just creating a scapegoat for the real problem. Those people were sick, and all the signs were probably there, just no one noticed. The fact is the media seems blow things out of proportion because bad news sells.


Just my opinion.

Amazing, to see this view over in the states as well. The trouble starts at home, with the bloody parents!!!! My wife is a teacher, and has been told countless times to "get (edited) by kids as young as five, behaviour they learn at home, not at school and threatened by violent cowardly, normally drunk, male parents who yell at her they'll knock her head off!!! The last incident, she dared chastise some little bully who blackened a much younger fellow pupils eye. The police were called to restrain the idiot parent.

hali, in this country, Australia, the teachers hands are tied. We have taken your countries lead here, with teachers being threatened to be sued, my wife included, by lowlife parents, ....what a great system that is, as well!!!!

I'm really sick of seeing schools blamed for violent behavior by kids. Try blaming bad parenting for a change!! I see how hard my wife and the majority of her fellow teachers work, thank christ they don't have guns to contend with here as well!!

End of rant!
