By now you have heard about another school shooting here in the USA. No doubt, people are going to start blaming video games, which is totally untrue. What is most important to remember here is that more people die in IRAQ each day with suicide bombing and insurgent actions. These events are not covered as much in the media as a school shooting that “only” killed 6 people. I put only in parenthesis there because any unexpected death is unfair. You are here to live your life, not have someone else take it from you. Its selfish for you to kill anyone, not to mention unethical in and immoral.
As I last checked, they have not released the name of the shooter and I think they should never release it. Do not give them any credit. The people that commit these horrible crimes do it so they can die in the public and try to make everyone else feel there pain. People will say “we should of done this” or “we should of done that”. The only people allowed to say that are the parents. If you want to blame someone, blame the parents. They FAILED in raising there child with ethics and morals so they would not do such a thing. If you want to blame someone, do not blame the gun, do not blame video games, do not blame the internet. Actually you can blame the media as well for the intense covering they give each of these shootings. The media harp and harp on these kind of events that almost give the perpetrator an infamy and one that will live on in the history books. We should mark there names from the history books, not have any information on them and just call them gunman. FORGET who they were, do not pay any attention to whom they were. The reason that a school shooting is so desirable is because of the media. The reason they DO the school shooting is bad upbringing. I expect more school shootings in the future as our “barney” kids, the ones whom were raised by a television, mature up to high school and college age.
Don’t coddle your child with a TV show. Nurture them like a good parent.

Just received an email from eBay announcing there new “lower” fee structure. Its pure crap.
They RAISED the final value fee by 3.5%!! 5.25% was already rediculous and now they want 8.75%? WTF? Yeah they lowered there insertion fees by 5 cents. Wooopy doo dah. They are still taking the money out of your pocket when it sells.
Another thing, as I read this I was reminded that they charge insertion fees for there stores. What crap is that? They also charge monthly fees. I am sorry.. wait no I am not, if I am paying a monthly fee to have a store I want to not have to pay everytime I put a product in a store I am already paying for. wow.
They hid the fee increases by throwing in gallery for free. Definately done with eBay. I will probably still buy on there but I am definately NOT selling on there anymore.
Con artists of the century? There new fee structure.

I’m not a real big football fan and do not stick my face in front of the TV every Sunday and Monday night to watch it. My Mother was visiting this weekend and she likes to watch football so I watched it with her. When did celebrating a touchdown or awesome play become a penalty? I went WTF like 8 times during the Ravens game. How many punt return touchdowns do you see? The team should have (and did) gone apenuts to celebrate. I was even excited about it… until the ref called a flag. Why? Because they celebrated. That is a bunch of bullcrap. THE FANS LOVE IT! Why take a piece of entertainment out of football? Its like fining NASCAR drivers for having an accident on the track because they delayed the race. I ONLY watch NASCAR rarely and only for the accidents. You start fining NFL players for ENTERTAINING then football will be an even more dry sport and you WILL start alienating fans.
Totally Ridiculous. Glad I do not watch all games because those foul calls pissed me off and ruined the experience for me. I have played sports in my youth and its about having FUN. Yeah NFL is about money also, but its suppose to be FUN so the fans have FUN.

Now we have extremists Muslims and extremists Christians. I find it absolutely abhorable that these kids not only are taught to pledge allegence to the Christian flag but also worship George Bush. The majority of these kids have not a clue what this means. They are being brain washed just like extremist muslim children to hate and be un-accepting of others whom have different ideas than there own. They are completly closed minded. This is absolutely horrible. The one thing the Christians use to be able to say that they didnt blow themselves up to get what they wanted. Guess its going to start changing once these brain washed children grow up.
In the off chance you havent a clue as to what I am talking about Click Here. I feel so much sorrow for these children that they are being mislead by a wolf in sheeps clothing.
TRUE HARMONY CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THRU PEACE AND FORGIVENESS. If you teach or think otherwise, we free thinkers forgive you and suggest you change your views, but we are not going to hate you for thinking that way, nor are we going to “declare war” on you.
Also, I want to address the whole abortion thing really quick simply cause its touched on in the trailer.
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” - Matthew 7:1-5

They are now attacking documents that make this country free such as the “Declaration of Independance” all because they reference GOD.’, ‘Patricia Vidmar, the principal of Cupertino’s Stevens Creek School, has banned the following documents as “hand outs” to supplement social studies classes:
Declaration of Independance
various state constitutions
George Washington’s journal
John Adams’s diary
writings by William Penn
She banned them because, “many original source documents from the founding era contain references to God and Christianity.”
This all came to fruition when teacher Steven Williams decided to use a proclamation from President George W. Bush dealing with the National Day of Prayer. Apparently a parent became upset that Williams handed out a copy of the proclamation to his students and ever since Vidmar has been censoring Williams’ lesson plans to exclude important historic documents based on if they reference God or Christianity. Other teachers are not required to under go this scrutiny and Williams is only being scrutinzed because he is an “orthodox Catholic.” Steven Williams has been a 5th grade teacher at Stevens Creek for 6 years and has recently just come under this scrutiny for passing out these documents as supplements to his lessons.
Yes, everyone has a right, but I do not think it fair that people are walking all over mine to change our nations history to fit into there own twisted point of view. Leave history alone and let it be taught truthfully and without censorship. This is crazy and I just know that this will snowball just like the “Pledge of Allegiance” issue did.

I sit here at my computer reading thru the world headlines and come across an article about North Korea. Bush wants to start a war there now and they HAVE nukes. Nukes that are capable of reaching US in the USA. The person in charge of these nukes is NOT afraid to use them. “Kim Jong Il will strike first at the first sure sign of invasion. His army and people have been waiting for the moment for over half a century and will be much pleased to kill some Japanese and Yanks. Kim has over one million soldiers, more than 8,000 heavy guns that fire 300,000 shells loaded with biochemicals per hour, and missiles that can hit Japan and Los Angeles, Seattle, and other major American cities. It is believed that North Korean missiles hidden in caves are already loaded with WMD warheads and ready to go. ” What this means is, George Bush is trying to kill us ALL. I believe that if John Kerry was voted into the office, this would not be such a problem situation, however, we have Mr. Hot-head to deal with again. Anyone selling tickets off this planet before he starts world war 3? I sure as hell want to get off this ride. -SJ
