Reason at its best!
HONOR TROOPS LIKE VA. TECH DEAD: Says Army Sgt.
I told you.
This is the first, but I’m sure your gonna start hearing alot more people saying this.
And rightly so.
People are so shocked, yet all you see is pictures of this crazy killer and memorials to the victims.
When was the last time you saw a flag draped coffin?
Or even our administration acknowledge that our own kids are being killed daily over seas?
Is this whole Va. Tech stuff hypocrisy or just me?
Please let me know.
Is hypocrisy even the right word?
It is a form of hypocrisy I suppose.
Its mainly that most Americans don’t want to think about the war in Iraq. Its reached a stalemate point and most everybody just wants a way out, but we’ve got a stubborn president who doesn’t care what the American public wants. His best interest is to stay in Iraq, and that’s what we’ll do until his term ends. We’ve definitely been desensitized to all the violence in Iraq, since its so commonplace.
The VT massacre is not commonplace at all, and it happened on our own soil, so we (mainly the media) freak out about it. Plus, there is a little difference in that the soldiers have volunteered to go to Iraq and risk there lives. The students at VT didn’t volunteer for what happened there.
that kid was a dick. fereal, the fact that anybody’s giving his whack ass videos any airtime is rediculous. That’s what he wanted to happen, why are we honoring his wishes? He was just some prick. Giving attention to the victims and the effects is justified but overexploiting anybody in that situation or giving a shit about that kid’s stupid pictures is absurd.
the medias out of control. One can’t help but realize in this day and age that the people who own the corporations that own the networks that broadcast the news are the ones profiting from the war and all the other bullshit happening throughout this corrupt government of ours, and when the people fucking you in the ass control what you find out about, they aren’t gonna tell you how badly they’re fucking you in the ass that’s for sure.
In other words, i watched the news for about an hour a couple weeks ago and the ONLY things i heard about were Anna Nicole’s baby DNA test and the guy who said “Nappy headed hoes”. And this was on MSNBC or CNN or one of those “legitimate” news providers. Seriously folks, the world is in turmoil right now and its affecting all of us at all times, in all places. If the only things we’re hearing about is some shock jock that said something offensive and some whore that couldn’t figure out which one of the dozen guys she fucked one day is the father of her child, somebody dosen’t want you to know about the bigger picture. Something is wrong. Now that there is an actual story that affects more than one person’s life to report (the VT massacre), sure enough they’ll be all over it until the next thing comes along to take debate away from gun laws.
In summing up, the same people that tell Bush and Congress what to do, have control of what the news reports. When the real story is their corruption at your expense…they aren’y going to tell you about it.
but back to the original topic here, heaven be with all the victims here AND overseas…and seriously, to hell with that Cho kid. I mean what an asshole.
Jaw out.
Right and my point is one could argue for either side and make good points depending on ones particular mindset.
Anyway what IS going to happen is a law making people with a case history of mental illness unable to purchase a gun, easily.
And thats it. The Dems lose elections over stuff like this and gaining control of the White House is too important to them.
Gotta love politics.
wow, this was one year ago?
RIP
I thought for sure this was two years ago while watching the Sportscenter special on it last night.
hmm

I think you’re thinking of nine-eleven.
I do have to laugh at how part of Obama’s platform was reinstating the assault weapons ban, and now he is avoiding the issue, at the same time that crazy guy who shot those cops in Pittsburgh was losing his mind about the President taking his guns away.
Really the issue to me is not a ban on assault weapons, but making it impossible to buy automatic weapons without a background check or record of purchase at gun shows. If you believe the gun lobby’s arguments that it is about freedom, not about their ability to make money selling guns you are pretty gullible.
really in a VA tech thread… classless.
