funny enough i read an article in the paper there a few weeks where an Irish phsycholoy professer was asked about this. he effectvely said it's bullshit, and that there is nothing to suggest it. if anything the evidence suggest that crazies are more likely to play video games at best.

Yeah, euronubs are quick to jump on America for everything, from being fat to gun control. I just read an article stating that 1 in 4 brits are Obese.

I found out about this yesterday morning at school.

I live about two hours from Tech.

I've spent some time there before, it's a really nice school. It's a shame that students can't feel safe on that campus anymore.

It's hard to understand how one college kid could just snap and end 32 lives, ruining countless others.

(As i was replying to this last night, my power went out, and with it my internet, phones, and cable. Fucking comcast)

Very sad event....stupid S. Korean dumbass

Bullshit.
In 2002, a youth did the same thing in Erfurt, Germany. He walked into a school and killed 16 people before killing himself. In 1996, a guy in Dunblane, Scotland walked into a school and killed 16 students and a teacher before killing himself. Finally (abit in Asia), a Japanese guy went on a stabbing spree in 2001 killing 8 children. I don't know much about Scotland, but both Germany and Japan have very strict policies on gun control. It can happen anywhere just as easily so shut it with the Eurocentric American-Cowboy comments. Its a global problem, not just ours.

well, fair enough, but seeing as all those countries you mention are western/1st world liberal capitalist democracies largely shaped by values exported by the U.S. here, then i think there is still a good argument that the U.S. is the root of the cause. hate me for it, but your Marshall plan and multinationals contributed in the societies produced in our countries.

also, here, much more an American problem than the rest of the world i still think.

why the fuck would a church be doing shit like that.

Are you drunk?
You are blaming domestic problems in other countries on US foreign policy. You are completely way off target on this one. Agreed, we did rebuild both Japan and Germany following WWII, but their domestic policy on gun control is completely different than ours. Concurrently it is of their own doing. My point is this, they are far more strict than we are and yet the same thing happened there.
 You seriously need to think about what you say before saying it. Even with your comments considered about us having a hand in their reconstruction, this still does not explain Scotland and it certainly does not explain the events in counties I did not mention. For example: the massive shooting in Tasmania in 1996, the Beslan massacre in 2004, the shootings in Montreal last year, the hostage situation in the Philippines last month, Etc.
Before you respond, you need to first understand my point. It happens everywhere not just the US and not because of US foreign policy. All the countries have different levels of gun control from strict to not strict and yet it still happens.
 I've spent my entire college career studying Europe and part of it living there. I know what you're saying isn't your own opinion, but that of Europeans on the whole and its an uneducated, bullshit position to take. I know the trend right now is to hate America but that doesn't mean you should throw rationality out the window with the rest of them.
