What I hate is this. Sometimes during the year, when you go to the mall, There are pictures that Elementary School kids drew hanging on the handrails. Basically, they say guns are evil no matter what.  WHY are they brainwashing kids? That isn't right, in my opinion. They should be encouraged to form their own opinion, not beleive what they are told without questioniong...

With this whole shooting, I'm seeing a BUNCH of copycats everywhere. In my state 5 or 6 schools have already gotten threats and such. Another thing on my mind with this, is why are they showing the video of him "explaining" himself on the news? It's giving him what he wanted. Infamy. It's absolutley disgusting to show that to people. Is nothing sacred anymore? We have to share everything with the world, and thats not how it should be. anyway. This guy was deeply disturbed. I don't think we should be focusing on gun controls right now.. just remembering all who died that day. It's pathetic that as a country, with this whole tradgedy we are using it to get eachothers points accross on completley other subjects, such as video games, gun laws, telivision, etc. The way this man wrote.. acted.. it shoudln't have been ignored. It really goes to show the world that we have to pay attention, say "hello" to the kid in your gemoetry class that is extra quiet, gets picked on, has a tough time.. whatever be the case. Be human.

Why do we only learn about Gandhi and not Reginald Dyer? Why do they teach us Hitler was a bad person? What if I believed Hitler had good ideas?

Because when a gun is pointed at your head, are you pro-violence or anti-violence?

Guns are NEVER good. They can be used to protect yourselves, but that doesn't make them a good thing. I wish there were ways to avoid gun use, but it doesn't make them good.

Defense.
Sport.
Hunting for food.

The gun is a tool.  Just like any other tool, it can be devastating when in the wrong hands.  Doesn't mean its always a bad thing.

in my mind, you can tell kids that guns are good for defense, sport, and hunting for food only in California and Montana. Cause Cali is just #!@%ed up and Montana preschoolers learn early how to cockaimandbang.

Our economy by itself is larger than a good number of countries in the world. (13% of America's overall GDP)
We set the bar for emissions standards in vehicles and are the strictest state in enforcing them.
We have over a dozen well-known and accomplished universities.
We are one of the most culturally diverse states in the United States.
Our agricultural industry is the largest in the country, unless I'm wrong.
Education receives almost half of our state's overall income.

We make alotta your movies.  :P
Our cows pwn Wisconsin's cows.  :P

The only real thing I dont like about my state is cost of housing.
