actually, i'm on the record kirk for NOT caring about the kids

sorry to hear that man - as a high-school teacher i've had the sad occasion to see schizophrenia emerge in some of my kids, always guys, as you say - humans hardly work well even in prime health...

thank god i have this whole week off to spend staring out the window at the endless motherfucking cocksucking whoremongering souldestroying eternal fucking rain

i said "kinda" - there was little of this actual energy towards action after the virginia tech ho-down, despite all them grown-ups that got kilt - i'm happy to see some sorta movement, mind you, just think it's fucked that the cult of childhood-veneration is what was crucial to getting at the heart of the biscuit...

our nation can't summon the political will to fucking find it's car keys - i'm not holding my breathe on us pursuing a gun control policy that would do more than push around the proverbial titanic deck chairs. the story d'jour kinda pisses me off - why do we suddenly give more of a crap b/c its a bunch of kids who got killed? why is it that the endless # of adults getting gunned down don't matter?

agreed, i read them in that order too

don't get me wrong, i've not spent much time mulling my thoughts over on olde-boy - i read a book which layed him out as quite the cock-sucker, and looking into it, didn't find much to dissuade me from the original impression - as a history type, i'm quick to concede the liabilities of impressions like this though - him being french, of course, i'm preconditioning to be pissy

raging assholes don't get sympathy, yes? was just wondering if this was something i was supposed to feel all sad over...

holy mother mary in a rib-tit t-shirt, here's why i like the study of beowulf! i don't have to listen to a thing she says... ... [video:youtube]

mostly i've used hand n' shotguns to harangue hate upon failed fucking electronics

the 1791 solution goes a good deal beyond keeping muskets out of the hands of half-wits... One report was saying the perpetrator was far from a half-wit - had some form of mild autism, but was extremely intelligent, even described as a "genius". So much for "half-wits" being the problem you should reread the quote as you didn't quite grok it...

So, gun control (disallowing the mentally ill from obtaining them) helps how here exactly? the 1791 solution goes a good deal beyond keeping muskets out of the hands of half-wits...

might need a couple more presidents n' congressman to get caped before the lesson sinks in?

we make monuments for the dead of our wars, for those who "die for our freedoms" it may well be that our freedom to own our own arsenal trumps all others, whatver, but perhaps we should at least make a mighty monument to all those who die in order to secure it too? a big old wall, like for vietnam, that i suspect in short order would far outstrip it...

naw, that's just the usmc

yeah, i know, that's my point, if ever i'm making one - let's go back to 1791, before them henry-ford fucks n' their industrial revolution had to go fuck it all up for the rest of us - 1791 weapon technology, while good enough to hunt, defned yerself, and shoot down your secesh politish, required extraordinary skill, expense or co-conspirators to wreck this kind of carnage. the implemnation, i'll warrant you, would be inevitably a bit of a cock-up... as for being a teacher, jeebus, doens't that make me the first to smile sardonically a bit - who DOESN'T want to shoot kids most days? at any rate, i figure i'm pretty safe from such school shootings - i open my class each year w/ a long list of reasons nobody in it needs to shoot me n' mine to get what they want, and being in a trailer, i figure your big-body count would-be colombine-boyo ain't starting w/ me, leaving me plenty of time to make a little fortress of solitude w/ chairs n' history books

true, but a musket, which is 2nd amendment legit, doesn't exactly let you breeze through a whole class-room of kids in 60 seconds, now does it?

is it unamerican to admit our country has a particular problem w/ this phenomena?

1791 solution - how many kids can you kill in 5 minutes w/ a musket? obvious point, though, is that human's are fucked up angry creatures, like plenty of other species - these frequent explosions are like any other natural events such as earthquakes, sometimes big, sometimes little - the mall shooting in oregon a good example of a small one, this one not so much (the difference? that cruel bitch randomness?) - our ability to predict is probably equally flacid, our ability to mitigate the dangers of an event hopefully better...

popular wisdom's said for a long time old boy was a raging asshole - new thoughts?

full moon drunken solo headlampless ascent's my favorite so far, and thanks to geoff for beating on my car window to wake me for it

heard a story about a dude going nuts in china today and stabbing 9 kids in a school - maybe its something in the air today? the mayan gods on their descent? they say soldiers die for our freedom, but maybe that platitude would be more meaningful if it included the kids too, since a lot more than just soldiers die for the 2nd amendment i'm for enforcing the 2nd amendment, just as it was concieved of (as of december 15, 1791 - now many kindergartners can you take down w/ a musket, after all?)

december 28 - i've managed the past 2!

agreed, a wierd justification for an action, like southern cops saying "we're gonna stop beating black folks b/c jesus, it get's the night-sticks all nasty!"

holy sheeeit, this sounds pretty encouraging! http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/14/us-usa-marijuana-obama-idUSBRE8BD0Q720121214
