Did things like this happen in the 60's?
Jimbo has expressed my sentiments exactly. I will pray for all of those in this tragic event.

Good, strong family life is the answer. But nobody wants to hear it...
KPC,
I've seen you post this several times. What does it mean?

We are at least 20 years into an education system that ingrains in these kids that they are not to ever fight, no fist to fist, no bullying, nothing physical...no king of the mountain, no trench, everybody's a winner. They expect these young kids to be diplomatic and express their "feelings", at an age when these kids can't even conceive diplomacy, all the while failing to understand it is basic human nature at that age to "settle their differences" on the playground...or at the bus stop after school. So, flash forward 20 years to the point where all that pent-up frustration and inability to physically settle their differences wells up inside and boils over to the point where they SNAP and bring a gun to school! We're creating a generation of thin-skinned pansies.
Seriously, anybody who works in a school can tell you, the home life of 50% of kids is completely unbelievable. All types of abuse by biological and step parents. Being locked outside in the heat and cold so "parents" can "party". Only food they get is junk food if they are lucky. Nothing home cooked or even fast food for that matter. Living with grand parents because "parents" tell them to their face they don't want them.
When I served on the school board, it ticked me off that we were forced to serve breakfast. I thought it was such a waste of resources. Not anymore..... The school breakfast and lunch is the ONLY decent food many kids get during the day. And for some it is the ONLY food they get, period.
And yes, it really is that bad.... And this is in a rural area where you would think it would be a rare thing, but unfortunately it is almost the norm....... Honestly, I see very little hope for our future at the rate things are declining......
God bless, Steve
He first started tracking threads he felt were links to Spikes Conspiracy laden sites/links..
You never see his forumtrack on threads where he can not use one of his small man gotcha posts, much less see him post at all. In his self-inflated mind he is the CF thought police and monitor.
He also tracks when somebody slights him, most would not understand, it's a snowflake thing. Probably learned it as the play ground tattletale later to become the school snitch. ...
So I give him plenty of data so he can prance around puffed up and do his Banty Rooster strut in his basement.
