It\'s time to face reality people. Duck Hunt is actually responsible for all this. Have you ever trying shooting just one duck? You can\'t do it! The game forces you to go to the next level, whether you want to or not. You feel pressured to continue your killing spree. If you try to spare the poor little duck\'s life by not shooting it, the dog laughs at you, encouraging you to keep killing or face more of his tormenting humiliation. It\'s enought to drive any sane person over the edge.

Damn kids today, can\'t even wait until schools over to shoot each other full of holes. Why, back in my day, we had to hunt each other down barefoot in the forest using rusty blackpowder muzzleloaders.

Ahem, well to tell the truth I\'m getting sick and tired of all the fuss being made over America\'s school shootings. It\'s one thing to report it, but anymore it\'s all way too senastionalized. I guantee we would not have had near as many copycat shooting had the press just let the whole Columbine thing go.

I mean, think of it this way. If these kids are *ucked up enough to shoot each other/themselves, what do you think the promise of extensive media attention will do to their mental state? It\'s kind of like, "Well I\'m a worthless pile of human waste and killing myself won\'t change that.. but if I take out a few of my classmates at least the whole world will know my name.. if only for one day." Now I know not every case is like that, but a good percentage of them are.

the human race is going straight 2 hell. so i think people should enjoy life while they can even if it means taking out 3 or 4 people in the process.

Seriously, I hadn\'t heard of any new school shootings. Maybe that\'s because I relaxed on my vacation in Israel. I watched BBC sometimes, but not much as I had so much more interesting things to do.

Duck Hunt. That is a game I remember; oh how I miss the good old days when Duck Hunt was the word and everyone made to the upper levels were cool.

But talk about achievment; one friend of mine completed Mario on nes his eyes folded, and I\'m not kidding now!

( talk about obsession )

America (where I live) has it\'s school shootings...while I always see on the news in foreign countries stories on bombs blowing up busses, wars that have been going on for years..in the end I see everyplace has it\'s problems.   It\'s just too bad these kids are taking others lives at such a young age in such a place as school, which should be the safest place in the world IMHO...

yea i think it is pretty stupid to give this much attention to something that has happened many times before


as said it will only fuel more people to do it

shootings at schools are nothing new - the media is just running out of coverage now days - i guess it is hard to report anything shocking - america has just about seen it all
