Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Actually, in regards to the original poster, I have nothing against people who believe in God, merely institutionalised religion and those who push their faith on others. Believe all you want, just A) don't force it on me or B) quote the Bible.

Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists That was a cultural thing. Religion was not only used as an excuse by it's leaders to wage war but also to explain the unexplainable.

Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Athiests are more logical. That's my view at least. Maybe not "smarter" but I think more logical/rational/etc. By the way, people will fight wars no matter what. Religion was just a handy excuse.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings That won't happen. No matter what you do, people will be able to get their hands on something. You just have to make it well ... harder I guess.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings It's not the number of guns, it's the rules surrounding ownership of said guns. Even though it would be immensely difficult, they should at least try. Modifications on a federal scale for example, not just state level.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings Uh gun control would be a good start though hey? Even though it's a societal problem these days, wouldn't it be smart to limit the resources with which these massacres happen?

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings Is that here? It sure as hell isn't in every state in the USA. Virginia for one? Don't need a permit to carry a gun. Do you have gun toting idiot relatives in the States? No? Trust me, it's not that hard to get a gun there. Making it readily available? To who...

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings Great. So hand a mentally disabled kid a gun, them let him get killed for (in his mind) playing with it when others see it as attacking them. Smart kiddo.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings A similar number of people were killed but that's about it. Why would you want to draw an equivalent? Every situation like this is going to have it's own complexities and differences.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings It's not just in the future. This has happened many many times before, just not in such a large scale. It'll be IMMENSELY difficult to get more gun control. It's a right of an American citizen to be armed. You don't renege on that easily after a few hundred years.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings Oh yeah. Real smart. Lets go in the opposite direction of gun control because that's not an option. Idiot.

I assume that was helpful then?

Romanticism is that of the individual, expressed through the author's imagination. I'm pretty sure that's what she's saying.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings "The previous week" Do you know how many bomb threats/massacre threats/ etc happen every week in the states? If they locked down for each one no one would ever go to school. It's a difficult thing to figure out which are serious and which are hoaxes. It's...

No. I trust... two people?

It's not easy, practise is the best tool. What kind of sonnet are you working on?

It happens, more than people think.

Going to start "Go Ask Alice" tomorrow. Friend recommended it for an interesting read. Great Gatsby isn't a stereotypical love story, it's just... fascinating.

The people who left or the people who stayed?

Missouri's not that bad. I have family in Arkansa for fucks sake. That's bad.
