yes marilyn manson got a bunch of crap over columbine, and the sad thing is the kids didn't even listen to his music. for people to even think someone would do something so stupid because of someone else's music. I listen to manson every single day and to be quite honest, i've killed very few people. and the chopping up of small furry mammals was a hobby long before manson came along. if you watch bowling for columbine, manson says one of the smartest things i heard anyone say over the whole issue. michael moore asked him what he would say to the kids if he could say somehting to them right now. Manson was very quick to reply with "nothing, i'd listen to what they had to say, which is what no one did." Manson is just the new world scapegoat, just like alice cooper was, and before him it was ozzy, before that it was the rolling stones. the world needs someone to point their boney little perfect fingers at and say "look, there's the bad guy" instead of just taking on the responsability themselves. as far as columbine, i blame the freakin stupid kids that did it! why is it that everyone in todays whiny ass society has to find an underlying reason for every freakin thing that happens. news flash world, some people are just plain old crazy, or plain old stupid. there doesn't have to be a freakin torrid past, or bad childhood, or anything. we as a society create these freaks with our happy meals and "give me everything right now" attitudes. spoon feed meat to the masses and sooner or later a few will become carnivores! but of course we'll try and find something else to blame for it.
i got it now...if the suicidal people had all the guns then there would be less crime.then the suicidals would have a stroke of genius and say "hey we got all the guns.lets take over the world".then they would take over the world and not be sad anymore.thus not killing themselves.problem solved.
Quote: "deaths could be prevented if parents raised their kids properly." I think You are rite, parents should raise their kids properly.
"properly"?you got the handbook on that?ive known parents that bent over backwards for their kids and they still turned out to be gun toters with attitudes or mental problems.for some reason kids idolize having guns or have the paranoid feeling they need one for protection.neither should be a reason for having guns and kids shouldnt have guns,period.if anything their parents were trying not to be overbearing and give their kids some freedom.they in turn hit the internet looking for guns.the solution would be the parents clamp down on their kids freedom.which would bring alot of bitching and complaining from the kids that their parents are communist.in plain english,there are alot of spoiled brats in this world that think they know it all at a young age.and with the advent of mass media kids are growing up way too fast.and the situations they get themselves into are way out of their league.its a social problem that has reached epic proportions.there is no one reason or quick-fix solution for it.people are just gonna have to find it in themselves not to be that way with alittle guidance from other people.:| and we definitely dont need to put all the guns in the kids hands....they might kill all the criminals and suicidal people..
in the majority of people i know, problems could have been prevented by the parents. now, considering im asian and have mostly asian friends, there may be a culture clash.
asian people have guns? id think of all the people that wouldnt carry guns it definitely would be the asians.im mexican and damn if alot of us arent packin heat.im not implying we are a race of psyco-crazed gun weilding fanatics.but there is a contengency that do resemble this. anyway,it doesnt matter what backgroud you are from.the same basic logic and common sense applies to everybody.and every situation is different.by no way are parents not responsible for raising their kids.but there are increasing cases where the parents did everything they could.even more than most other parents did for their kids.and still the kid fell into the wrong way of thinking.
