I think there are two problems.
One is everybody is so pc nowadays kids aren't scared of their parents anymore. You yell at your child too loud (what's that called nowadays, verbal abuse ) someone wants to call on you.
When I grew up my mom would whack me with a spatula. No big deal.
The big deal was when my dad got home, the belt came off and I got it good.
Put a little bit of fear into me. I didn't want to go down the wrong road and have the wrath of my parents on me.

Second, I think is the media. When something like this happens it's all over tv for days on end. I think it kinda influences kids in a way. It's always in their face, and soon enough the rotten ones want to copycat what has happened earlier. I heard of a story some time ago that a kid wanted to go to his school and start shooting the place up but got caught before anything happened. His girlfriend said he wanted to do it Virginia Tech style.

See what I mean.


Yes, I see it everyday. Parents letting their kids talk back, too busy to really keep an eye on them. When they do something wrong getting yelled at (if that). Shoot, when I was a kid I got a spanking from my mom and then when my dad found out I got it again, and I learned not to pull what ever I did again. Now with my daughter she knows "you want your father to find out,,father to come in here, ect" and she stops. I only threaten the belt,,hopefully I never will use it.

The media too beats these stories into the ground. You take that and a kid who mentaly isn't stable or some kid with no self esteen and it gives the shooter all this attention. hey, if I do it too I will get revenge on those that did me wrong and EVERYONE will remember my name! I mean who hasn't heard of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris? Nuff said.

Our honor defend, we will fight to the end, for OHIO! GO BUCKS!
