  at least at the moment it looks like no one is dead, but 6 injured (9:00 am pacific time 14 nov 2019).. i don't know if the school allows students to carry weapons, but many will think it would be a good idea for the students to carry concealed weapons to provide personal protection.. we shall see.. rub a dub.

  I can't believe people will blame everything else except the fact that there is easy access to guns in the US

  Easy access to guns, at one time, is not the answer. When I was growing up, guns were far easier to purchase than they are today. You went to your local hardware store or sporting goods store, put some cash on the counter, and walked away with a gun.If you were buying it under age, and the guy behind the counter knew your family and you said you were buying it as a gift for your father, you would walk away with the gun.

  Access to guns is not simply the answer. I think the reason WHY people buy them needs to be examined.

  When Jesus “comes” during the great tribulation, he will gather his remaining “chosen ones” to heaven,

  Interesting comment in the talk, but I thought Jesus was already here ?

  WingCommander ...

  When I was in middle/high school in the late 70's (about two hours outside of New York City, a rural area), my neighbor and I would ride our bikes to the local hardware store with .22 rifles on slings over our shoulders or just hold them on the handlebars.

  We would stop at the local hardware store and each buy 2 or 3 packs (50 cartridges) of .22 shorts or longs, ride to the gravel pit, shoot cans or whatever else was around, get back on our bikes and ride home. Once the guy at the hardware store knew you and your parents, age was not an issue.

  If a kid did that today, he would be in jail. The hardware store would be out of businesss. Police would block the road off, fingerprint your bike, put crime scene tape around everything and you would be in a juvenile facility for who knows how long. With all the guns we had (only .22 calibers of course for kids), even at 14, 15, 16, years old, I can't think of anyone who would consider taking a gun to school and shoot anyone.

  You may have gotten into a fist fight with a bully sometimes, get a black eye, a bloody nose or exchange the favor, but the thought of using a gun never came to anyone's mind.

  It's a different world today.

  i was looking at the world health org.

  report and it shows the us ranks 37th in the world (tied with albania) for combined male/female life expectancy.

  the top 5 were japan, switzerland, singapore, israel and spain, all around 83 years.

  I think people are better off eating traditional foods,

  Simon .... excellent point in this crazy society we live in.

  If you want rice, buy a bag of rice. Season it, cook it, put a little olive oil (or butter) in it and eat it. Instead, people tend to buy some pre-packaged, pre-cooked stuff that has 30 or 40 ingredients and half of them you cannot pronounce.

  Want a piece of fried fish, go for it. Get some fresh fish, a good egg and some plain bread crumbs. Season it as desired. Instead, people will purchase some frozen crap that again has so many ingredients that the fine print looks like you are reading a novel.

  Even if you have very little space like living in a condo, plant a pot of various herbs and use them to cook and season your food and salads. In our yard, I always have at least 6 or 7 herbs growing, everything from basil to rosemary to parsley, etc. Seeds are cheap. You can even use hanging pots if you don't have a lot of room.

  But back to your point, yes, traditional foods that you can season the way you wish is far superior and healthier than the crap people tend to eat here.

  Let the world know, we Americans are proud to have a TV show called Man vs. Food in which someone gorges himself to eat a 5 pound steak, a 36 inch pizza, 10 huge hamburgers or some other gut-wrenching thing.

  And don't forget our national holiday, the 4th of July. On Coney Island, New York, there is the annual Nathan's hot dog eating contest where you try to eat 50 hot dogs or something and then go and throw up.

  Aren't we proud !!!!!

  Fried, sugar and carbs ... the three main elements in the American food pyramid.

  Santa Clarita, not Santa Clara.

  staypuft ...

  I stand corrected. Yes, Santa Clarita.

  Thank you.

  (unfortunately, I just heard that there is at least one child dead, so sad)
