Connecticut Massacre: The Real Questions

[Darth]

And Norways 62 times smaller population (310/5)?

You mean with their ONE gun massacre?

I believe there have been at least 31 school massacres since Colombine.

Whats the bar for a culture of death? How many massacres have to occur?

What has incensed me is not that there was an outrage, those things happen, but the reaction to it you gun loving boys show. But you can't understand that can you?
I used to think well that's just the way the American government works not individual Americans, but it isn't is it? Your government is the filthy thing it is because it stems directly out of your culture, it is no different to how each of you good old boys would be if you had armies rather than just guns.
It seems America kills not because it hates, or for revenge, or for any other reason than it likes to kill.

What reaction Jon? When people commit crimes, or when nutballs go on shooting sprees, - to me, personally, it's disgusting. What is it that I can't understand (and why can't I understand it)? I'm fairly American, I tear up when the anthem plays, I joined the service on the 4th of July, I listen to country and bluegrass, I shoot things occasionally.....if there's little difference between the way you and I react to something then just how different are you from a "gun toting american male"? I think you have a construct of what it is to be american, or how americans feel- or what they can understand- that is not in any way connected to reality. Howsabout I reach some conclusions with regards to you (and everyone in your country) based on your own village idiot eh?
