School shooting in Finland, again.. - Page 2

Im not sure if this holds true in Finland, but in estonia smalltalk with strangers on the street is acceptable if one or both parties are drunk.

Finlandssvensk, she propably isnt like that.

I wouldnt mind one myself, they know how to enjoy life. I dont know what is behind this culture but i think its comes from the extreme weather, poverty and hard wars during the past 700-1000 years.
We have been wealthy only some 30 years of that period.

Difficult to know how to feel on this one.

School shootings - bad
School shooters - bad

not that simple, sadly.

An Estonian friend called that there were Estonians in the college and he hasnt been able to get hold of his friend.

Theres 10 dead now plus the shooter, he burned some bodies with the molotov coctails he tried to burn the school with.
These loonies are living in a virtual reality but the media calls for ministers to resign and banning guns.
We should focus on the root causes and avoid populistic reasoning.

Sad and tragic.

nikimcbee · 09-23-08, 12:21 PM

People here have a lot of expectations from themself and others, some cant take the pressure, came first to mind. We should look this very deeply, how our local culture has mixed with the western media culture people see in TV and that sort of thing.
Those are just some ideas.

I know that but they seem to have reatched a peaking point.

(atleast around here)

It is probably more down to widespread instant access media than anything else, you just hear about more stupidity than people in the past did, thats why things look so bad.
