Satanus, I remember a young kid being teased because of his weight, he committed suicide, yes, teasing does kill.

Seems this boy had frequented a website connecting him w/some nazi belief leanings and admiration for Hitler. Saw it on the news..trying to find the link.

how many need to die before someone has the balls to stand up and question the 'right to bear arms'?
How long before someone utters the age old 'Guns don't kill people, people do'???
How do you explain Canada, where the gun ownership is higher per capitia then here in the States? I'm not saying that there shouldn't be tighter gun control, for example, why do hunters need semi-automatic assult rifles with a 20 mag clip for hunting deer? However, when are we as a society going to hold the peddlers filth responsible? We can't stop software makers from producing "gangsta" games but will the Wal-Marts of the world listen if we stop shopping at their stores because they sell and make a profit from that garbage? I find it so ironic that we as a people are so concerned that minors do not have access to cigarettes but don't think twice when our kids play video games where the player can shoot and kill police officers or watch movies that are waaaaay over the top. A few months ago my 14 year old was complaining to me for not letting him see some movie called "Saw" while all of his friends were allowed to see it. It's now out on video and out of curiousity I rented it this weekend. I started to watch it and had to turn it off after the first 5 minutes. I'm not kidding. No one can tell me that crap like that doesn't desensitize people, esp. teenage boys. While it probably won't turn a stable, young man into a rampaging monster it can push an unstable kid into one. What scares the hell out of me is thinking what society will be like when the 8, 9 and 10 year olds who are exposed to this constant bombardment of violence, become teeanagers.

I'm with you Roybatty. The 13 year-old teenager who killed his friend had NO feelings. That's the culprit, they are 'desensitising' the kids. Why don't they put a stop to all these movies and TV that highlight violence? What's influencing these people to act immorally? Why isn't there a nation-wide outcry for such influence?
Making more laws means less freedoms. Do more laws make for up-right citizens?
