You actually said that; why would you say it and then rip on me for repeating it in a different context on how no one can be sure he did it for himself, you're losing continuity in your posts and degrading your coherency.
Semantics. It wasnt a 'rip' on you - It was an honest question.
My screen play was actually about a fantasy story with kids, so I didn't need violence in mine. But you're going to tell me there's not at least 50 other kids in the entire USA alone who write stuff like that?
Yes, there probably are 50 other kids, and obviously there are going to be some exceptions because a violent story doesnt make a killer, but there are obvious patterns with kids who write troubled stories, and its those kinds of kids that only need to be pushed over the edge, if they have access to guns then that means they're a threat. Of course you can't do anything pre-emptive, but im not implicating that anyone should, im saying that these people should get the help they need from professionals.
There are such things as student-teacher confidentiality and usually ranges in different forms for schools, but it's typically more or less the same rules regarding written or oral communication/work/stats/etc... being kept between the school and student. People are pretty anal about it too. But again, you're losing continuity by saying it's ok that info is made public even though you earlier said him being crazy or not doesn't really matter.
Im sorry but I dont see how im losing continuity? ...Even if I had said him being crazy or not doesnt matter - Which I DIDN'T (I said it didn't matter whether he was a NICE GUY or not) - How would that effect my opinion that the papers being made public is okay??
You're making no sense now.
I'm not even launching conspiracy theories against the media. All I'm saying is that we'll [the general public] never know the truth of what happened at VT or the prior life on Cho.
No one can really prevent school massacres.
How do you know?
The Columbine incident was supposedly because they got picked on. VT incident was supposedly because of a girlfriend issue.
That 'girlfriend issue' was initial speculation, have you even been following this? They found a note outlining hatred towards "rich kids, charlatans etc," You know fuck all about this considering how much you claim to...
I don't see the connections or patterns in motives there to prevent future incidents. Journals/notes/home-recordings are usually only found after the incidents.
Well now you're arguing that its pointless to even bother analysing these crimes and the evidence and just give up. Don't be fucking ridiculous. Like I said, people want answers, they want anything - this is an obvious pattern that is forming behind school massacres, so why shouldn't we look at it and focus on it? It would be stupid not to.
If you surf online blogs, I'm sure you'll find a handful of posts that talk about having a bad day at school/work and wanting to blow it up or take out a teacher/coworker, they may vary to different degrees, but that does warrant a need to call the fuzz and have them taken in for interrogations?
Who the fuck said that the fuzz should be called over something like this? I didn't even insinuate that. You're just being an argumentative douche here. I said they should get some HELP. Not be arrested and interrogated. For fucks sake.
Granted they may not be as bad as Cho's writings, but who's to say by brushing it off it may later turn into something big? Apparently that was the case with Cho from an interview with his English tutor/teacher.
What? Are you saying that it was wrong for the english teacher to suggest counselling? Could you relay your point here - Im confused about what you're trying to say.
