Reply #173: a sad commentary on our culture- violence as a solution [View All]

[kineneb]

I am not sure where the blame lies, but it was not just the shooter, or his parents...in some ways, we all are to blame, for allowing violence to be seen as a solution for one's/society's problems.

at fault-

*the kid
*the kid's parents
*the makers of overly violent movies/tv programs and games aimed at children
*guns in the home without locks
*churches which teach hate
*corrupt leaders, both locally and nationally
*a society that tacitly condones discrimination and violence against those seen as "others"

As long as one sentient being suffers, we all suffer...compassion is the answer, not violence or hatred.
