The debate DOES need to happen. Just let people have time to react and process it. This is a tragedy like really none other in the USA. People's friends, children, brothers and sisters have just died. Those of us who live clear on the other side of the country are effected by this.

Starting the debate now just isn't right. Start another thread, wait a day, something, anything, just not here.
An entire thread of "Oh, that's terrible." is not very constructive. What is constructive, is to discuss how we might prevent things like this from happening in the future.

Is it bad that I seriously don't really care since this happens all the time?
Yeah, it -blam!- does matter. CHILDREN were killed. How dare you -blam!- even ask if it's bad.

You're a disgusting person for even saying that.


Saying he doesn't care is extreme, however it is the simple truth of human morality that the more removed you are from a situation the less you are inclined to feel strongly about it. Another key principle is that we feel more morally responsive when a tragedy involves a single person. As the number of people multiply our emotional response tends to diminish, it seems backwards and wrong but it is the basic nature in which our brains are wired to function.

That being said... this is a despicable tragedy. No words really.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Oh sweet jesus christ on a crutch. This is why nothing changes. People say to wait and talk about it but then give it a couple of weeks and most of us have completely moved on and pushed it out of our heads.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

To be completely honest, the words I have for this situation would probably get me banned for profanity. And then I had to hear that the shooter apparently posted on 4chan before he did it...

I don't know. I really don't know. There's just too many emotions surrounding this. The world can be a twisted place man. I feel sorry for anyone involved.
The 4chan part is true. The second you said that I checked, there was a thread on it two days ago. He even said it would be in Connecticut. Honestly, -blam!- 4chan. -blam!-. Something could have been done.


Yeah, but not much. Anonymity is a biggy on 4chan. Plus, the mods barely roam around /b/, just to catch pedo's and spambots.
-blam!- this. I've browsed that site since 08'. This is sick. They're tabulating his "scores" right now. -blam!-. This. -blam!-. The worst part of it is most of them are most like middle schoolers or something, posting how funny this is. I feel numb over this. Just nothing, no words. This is wrong.


That's just /b/, mostly. Most of 4chan aren't like that. But you're right, it is wrong.

(I'd never thought I would agree with you)
But it's the whole attitude of not me so I don't care. How can you live like that? I agree while it isn't all of 4chan, most of the users do browse /b/ on occasion. Sick minds. Sick sick minds.

  • 12.14.2012 12:38 PM PDT

I feel a little odd as I'm not really getting the same reaction out of this as everyone else, it's very -blam!- up but I'm not crying or vomiting over it.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

That principal might have saved a lot of lifes for using the speaker in the school.
The principle was one of the first to be killed.

CNN was interviewing a teacher that was in conference with him about a student. They heard the bangs, walked out and was shot. I don't know if he was killed or not.

Actually a lot of 4chan users hate /b/ completely. It's only a filter to stop -blam!-posters from screwing up other boards.

Eh, I've been around to /v/, /pol/, even /x/. That's as far as I went. It's the same old attitudes. Just a bunch of conspiracy nutjobs and self absorbed teenagers. I know that is generalizing, but I find other sites to be much more productive for any conversation.

Edit: Holy god report the guy above me. You can't post gore on here! What is wrong with you?

/x/ is crappy, just nutjobs, /v/ is trash, they literally hate every game that isn't Dark Souls, and /pol/ is just senseless bashing.

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

The reasons vary, in this case we don't know, my guess is that it might be just for amusement is that 4chan thing is true.

OK, the most recent police briefing:

Most, if not all of the victims were in one section or classroom.

The victims were 20 children, 6 adults and the shooter. They also found the brother dead. Nothing so far on the girlfriend or the dad.

For those that don't have the same reaction, it's understandable. However if you think about it more - there should be something there. What if it was your sibling, friends sibling? What if it was your child?

I'm putting their lives into perspective. I'm thinking about the feelings of the people who were affected. I'd want to hold my future child that much more tight that night. I'd want to spend every little second with my child.

I personally don't have children myself, but I do want to be a mother. It's hard to imagine these things.

Those 20 children didn't deserve that end to their lives. Those 20 children had futures, and likes and dislikes. They had a favorite food, and a favorite color. They were learning about themselves and things around them. Could you imagine what they were learning when the gunman came in? Maybe they were counting, reading a story. It's horrid.

It's not suitable for work. Some of us who browse b.net browse at work where our online activity is monitored. Things like that could get us into trouble. Just be mindful of that next time.
