Sidewalk Surfboard Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 There was a shooting at a college in my state today, and it pisses me off. I do not understand how someone could ever be so fucked up as to shoot at innocent people trying to get an education. I've been worried sick about my mom since I heard the news because she goes to college during the day and I don't know if she'll be safe.

MuttButt Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Whoa, I had no idea there were other Oregon furries besides Ian and I. Do either of you go to school in Corvallis?I heard about this earlier today while I was chillin' at the coffee shop, it's messed up dude. It's hard to imagine why somebody would want to cause so much suffering, and not even to any target in particular, just whoever happens to be in range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyAshes Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm fairly sure the US isn't the only country out there with legalized gun ownership.. The problem with guns in the United States isn't the guns, it's the gun CULTURE. Where people feel that they need a firearm incase 'somebody messes with us, yo! or to 'stop the government from oppressing us' which usually translates to 'Fuck the police and their warrant, I should be able to beat my girlfriend to unconsciousness as much as I want!'. So you have a disproportionate number of Americans who are solving their 'problems' (i.e. mostly petty bullshit) with gun violence.This is why you have other nations with high gun ownership per capita but significantly less gun deaths per capita than the United States: Because those countries won't believe that you need a Glock stuffed down your sweatpants in case someone tries to steal your parking spot at the Wal-Mart.

Blaming the person is obvious, but that doesn't fix the problem. I'd probably blame how easy it is to obtain a fucking gun in this country. No real regulations, no restrictions, just buy away people.

So I either have to leave it up (and risk people continuing to argue)Â or hide it without a reason message and the latter sounds like government level censorship to people who aren't informed of the actual reasoning for the removal.Anyway, continue with the thread.

Evidently the guy had some "these people are evil" going on by the Internet posts. At any rate, these are usually instigated by something.

Eggdodger Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) This thread's getting locked in like two minutes.Before that happens, I'd just like to add that a lot of this happens because of the lack of quality psychiatric care in the US. I've been trying to get help for years (not saying I'm shooting anybody; it's for depression), but I haven't gotten a therapist that will actually sit down and talk with me. It's, "here's some meds the psych recommended, try these, tell me if they don't work."The behavioral hospitals are worse. They're more like prisons than hospitals. They're clusterfucks of genuinely violent people, misguided youths, suicidals and those who self-harm. They keep kids in a large open room with nothing to do while they wait for their one, maybe two 30 minute therapy sessions for the day, then back into that room. They might get to watch a movie if they're good. It's enough to bore somebody to tears.I voluntarily went into such a place following a suicide attempt, and it was the least helpful experience of my life. I'm sure they don't do much good for people with homicidal thoughts, either, besides keeping them away from guns and sharp objects. Following the captivity and ineffective therapy, they come out as bitter, hostile, angry adults. Alternatively, they're smart and tell the case worker all the right things they want to hear so they're out the door without actually changing anything about themselves.
