C'mon Sailor Steve, I'm sure you know that better. I'm surprised that this posting was coming from you.

Obviously no sense of humor. If you want to give a moment of silence to those that are dead, fine, but I did not post this against the tradgedy but against our discussions earlier.

To me, it won't matter if its two days or two years after the fact of what happened yesterday, I will not dwell on it. It is your very dwelling that encourages more would be killers in my opinion.

I gotta say that it ranks alongside Charlton Heston in "Bowling for Columbine" Sorry...

Hmm, I believe that there is no "too soon", and no "too far".
What there is, however, is "not funny". And this isnt that funny.

But you know what. No single person is in charge of what is or what is not funny or when or when it is approprate... Well I suppose the owners of this website can

People use humour as a way of dealing with terrible situtations. There were even humourous posts on the internet after 911.

I cant think of a single tragedy in which there was not some form of humour to help people deal with terrible news.

The use of humour does not mean the person is not taking the situtation seriously nor does it mean they don't have emotional feelings about it. The use of humour does not mean the person intends any disrespect to any unknown group of people.

Humour is a way to relieve tension and stress. It may not be the prefered method for everyone but it does work for some.

If you don't think this thread is funny, then choose another thread to read
If you don't think it is the approprate time for humour then delay reading this thread until you feel it is personally the approprate time.

Got me!!?? I can't even answer the question. Gun debate has soured peoples minds i think, and the school thing is just on top of it all. Sad.

And I did find this funny before all the negativity brought it down. SOme people just need to lighten up once in a while. You can't say I didn't try!

With 1 magazine of a 30 clip assault rifle he could of inflicted about the same kill death ratio. Pistols are slower. What if he had a soviet Ak47? By the way he is Korean... :hmm:
