Well, obviously something is repsonsible for that schools are argued to be in need of using metal detectors, and having plicemen patrolling them. When I was at chool, we did nbot need that. Nobody brought weapons and iknifes into school. the most dangerous item we were armed with eventually were a Edding-type of marker pencil. Graffiti was the worst you coudl expect in violence.

This has chnaged. Mobbing is a rule in many German schools now. Knifes are brought in, gas-weapons, pepper-spray, etc. People vpoicing acceptance for having metal detectors and police patrols - 20 years ago nobody would even have imagined such a debate possible in the future.

So, something obviously has changed, but nobody wants to face the respnsibility. Not the movie makers showing explicit depictions of horror and violance. Not the TV makers, having constantly lowered the moral barriers on nudity and violence and crap TV. Not the makers of video games. Not the producers of firearms. Not the print media. Not the producers of alcoholic drinks.

Our youth is growing up in a more and more violent climate, and a culture that is fond of violence. What would have been a scandal 30 years ago, today'S does not make anybody raising his exebrow anymore.

Something has changed for the worse, but nobody wants to be the bad guy causing it. I assume it were some brownies then.
