School Shootings

The most recent school shooting happened over Valentines day of this year. In Northern Illinois University, Steven Kazmierczak entered a lecture hall full of students and opened fire, killing 6 and injuring 16. He apparently stopped taking his medication and became erratic in behavior.

School shootings date back about 50 years ago, when public school was becoming more predominant as well as a full education. The first recorded school shooting happened at the University of Texas at Austin In 1966. The killer was Charles Whitman, a student at the University. He killed 14 people and injured 31 others before turning the gun on himself. In his suicide note he requested a autopsy which later revealed a brian tumor.

Many of the 53 cases that happened in the U.S. and Canada, from 1966 until now, were commited by people with mental disorders. In the U.S. school shootings happen more then any other place in the world with a whopping 46 cases since 1966. With the lack of gun control in the states, they are becoming increasingly more frequent, with five of them happening in this passing month! Last year there were three cases apart from each other.

I don't think it's because people are 'snapping' that there is so many violent crimes occuring. The media as we all know glorifies violence because it gets peoples attention. The average person can distinguish between what's real and what's not in the media, but not everyone can. Most of the cases were from people with mental disorders that went off their medication. Many of these people adhered to violent cultures, music, books, satanic cultures etc. A lot of them were results of constant bullying.

Perhaps in this fast paced world obssessed with celebrity culture, we should be focusing on more down to earth issues. I think some of the cases could be avoided if mental disorders were given more attention. The media plays a big role in persuading the youth as well as good parenting. If there is a geeky anti social kid down your street, maybe you should see how he's doing, rather then ignoring him.

Garbage Soup

It's about a garbage pile floating in the ocean that stretches 500 nautical miles off the Californian coast, across the northern Pacific, past Hawaii and almost as far as Japan. It's twice the size of the continental United States.
Some day the whole ocean is going to be this way. Plastic in my opinion shouldn't be made for commercial use. To much is being discarded to quickly and the end result is choking out nature. Green Peace is going to be very busy. Companies that preach that they're being good to the environment are lying as far as I'm concerned. Eliminating plastic bags are good enough but why are they charging people for environmentally friendly bags. Why can't they go back to the ol' paper bag that doesn't cost anything? Sounds to me like another profit maker. They save all the money for not producing plastic bags free to the public, and make extra for selling shopping bags. I make my own bags. It only takes a few minutes. I think people should sell hand made shopping bags. You'd be helping out the underground economy. We have enough products made by asian child slaves as it is.

No pipe cleaners please!

I was looking at other people's blogs and I came across a little Christian blog. Oh goody! I knew I wouldn't be surprised by the irrationality of this person. The woman was going on about how there should be other ways to teach kids about God without using crafts . Glitter glue and pipe cleaners are a poor way to teach kids. In the Christian womans blog there was a picture of a mother holding up a sign saying "No pipe cleaners please!" The goodly Christian quoted on the picture saying, " Good. At least somebody gets it."
What better way to teach about the Lord, then to abolish any little source of fun in Sunday school. Nothing says God is boring and he doesn't want you to have any fun, better then this. I'm sure more and more society will avert from being secular because of these bold protesters!

I remember as a kid sunday school was a real drag. You had to get up early and go to a second weirder school, Even though it was the weekend. It was always cold for some reason. You had to repeat things you didn't understand from the Bible. It was very boring. The only fun thing was gluing Jesus to stuff and making origami angels. Good harmless fun. My mom asked me when I was 7 if I wanted to go to sunday school and church anymore. I remember very clearly saying, the only thing I really liked about it was exchanging presents on Christmas and making crafts. My mom smiled and told the lady on the phone that I wouln't be going to church anymore. I've been a happy athiest ever since. :-)

Crushing kittens to death

Me and my boyfriend were researching fetishes on the Internet and we came across the feet crushing things fetish. It derived from heels crushing cigerettes. We stumbled upon a taboo video of a chinese woman crushing a kitten with her platforms. The crushing small animals fetish, came from the crushing bugs fetish, which came from the crushing cans and various other objects, which came from the cigarette crushing fetish wich came from that scene where the good girl goes bad in the movie Grease. Soon it will be the crushing new born babies fetish. The chinese authorities are trying to look for a way for the woman to be sentenced to prison but there are currently no rules in China for animal cruelty. Some people don't look at animals as being that big of a deal I guess. The woman in the video was a nurse of all things! If that woman was cruel enough to crush a cute little baby kitty then what's from stopping her from killing or harming a child? She obviously had no nurturing instinct. Many cases of murderers have been known to torture animals before people. I hope that she gets whats coming to her. If I was there I would give her a good old fashioned ass kicking to see what crushing feels like. That might seem a bit harsh but I've always been a cat lover. I mean come on, a kitten? She better hope I never see her on the street! Fetish can turn into obssession if the fetish lover isn't careful. People need help if they get horned up over inanimate objects or violent acts. Fetishes start when people want sex without love, as crazy as that sounds! The lust over a certain thing gets boring so the luster goes to the next thing that's a little more drastic, then that gets boring and so on and so forth. I hope men think twice before perving out to a ladies feet...

I found a link for those of you who really feel a need for this. Check out the Crush Feet foot crushing site if you want to feed your jollies. At least its better than hurting an animal...
