Well, most of you have probably heard about the Columbine that took place at the little amish school. Before that, in a small school in upper Wisconsin (where I live) a kid went in with a hit list, and shot the principle several times, and then targeted other students. He was stopped before anyone was hurt. This was one week ago (roughly). This morning, a school in my district (we have three, North, South, and West High school) North, had a student come in threatening to shoot people, and he had a list. Now today at my school (West, and if your wondering im a Jr. 17 yrs old) in seventh hour, someone found 2 threats in the bathroom written in red pen, one said the school was going to be blown up on Friday, and the other was claiming there was going to be a shooting. It was on the local news, and students were interviewed. The school isnt going on lockdown, but anyone who doesnt feel safe going is allowed to stay home (I am staying home tomorrow). Thats four columbine threats in about a week. What the hell are people thinking all of the sudden? Whats your opinion on all of this?
you are so lucky to get to stay home from school.
my school (monta vista) yes, of wall street journal fame is full of asians who would never do anythign like that.

All these shootings/threats/hit lists are because kids today are a bunch of PUSSIES. When I was a kid you just beat the hell out of each other. And you sure as hell didn't make a list, you just beat people up. If you were a puss, you didn't start shit, and nobody messed with you because it is no fun beating on the weakest kid in school. The great thing about just fighting is nobody went to jail, and nobody DIED! You get beat up you try again.
Hell when I was growing up if the teachers caught you fighting, you'd both be put in the wrestling gym room, giving these huge freaking boxing gloves and were forced to fight each other. Everybody that went into that room pissed off, came out shaking hands of the person whom they were fighting. But some mother made that simple solution go away.d3athwi5h4 wrote:
