News & Events - April 2007

With all the controversy about global warming and this being earth day,
I think a small contribution to preventing it, or at least keeping the earth clean is to stop junk mail.
We have internet for those who like junk mail.
I see no need for Junk Snail Mail.

It occupies over 80% of my mail and goes straight to the trash.
I would like to do a study about how much people actually appreciate Junk mail and the landfill space it occupies.

Thanks for your support,

It is true that the media has done a great job by stirring up racial tension and prejudice against Asian by showing this psychopath Cho's face all over the place and mentioning about he is being Korean over and over again. I've experience some prejudice because of this Cho today. It makes me upset and nothing I can do. I just pray that God will help open the mind of the ignorants.

I don't know about the gun. How long does it take for an average shooter to exchange the the clip? (his gun was Glock 9mm) I am asking this for self-defense purpose.

He somehow managed to post his photos and video between his two shootings. Namely this fact is not clear to me, did he do it via internet in his own laptop or was it a real post-office that serviced him and sent it to the addressee? If the last is true, how could he safely reach the post-office building between his two shootings?

In the middle of a battle in Fallujah in April 2004, an M80 grenade landed a foot away from Fred Ball. The blast threw the 26-year-old Marine sergeant 10 feet into the air and sent a piece of hot shrapnel into his right temple. Once his wound was patched up, Ball insisted on rejoining his men. For the next three months, he continued to go on raids, then returned to Camp Pendleton, Calif.

But Ball was not all right. Military doctors concluded that Ball was suffering from a traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic headaches, and balance problems. Ball, who had a 3.5 grade-point average in high school, was found to have a sixth-grade-level learning capability. In January of last year, the Marine Corps found him unfit for duty but not disabled enough to receive full permanent disability retirement benefits and discharged him.

Is it so hard for them to accept that maybe those people are disliked on an individual basis, just like the VT killer?

The Supreme Court has just said (in one of it's majority opinions on the decision to uphold the abortion ban) that women must be protected from making a bad decision.

How many women, here, are glad that 5 men on the Supreme Court are now protecting you from making a bad decision?

with the 32 people he gunned down in cold blood?

"REMEMBERED EQUALLY

At Virginia Tech, graduate student Chris Chabalko, 29, said adding a stone memorial for Cho was fair.

"He was a student. Thirty-three people died," said Chabalko. "There's nothing anyone can do about it now. We've got to remember them equally.""

This is unbelievable! This statement dishonors the memories of those vctims who perished and those who survived but are still suffering both physically and mentally.

Cho was not another victim; he was the evil, twisted psychopath who was 100% responsible for his actions on April 16, 2007. The only people who should have the choice in forgiving him are the families of the dead or the wounded themselves. No one else has that right, IMHO!

And is anyone else tired of Cho being referred to as "the shooter" by the media? It's almost like they want to sugar coat what he did by uisng an euphenism. He was a murderer times 32, for heavens sakes!

..running, rifle in hand , across Virginia Tech campus. Most of the other cops were fat. The grieving students were also overweight. A nation of gluttons, eating themselves into an early grave. An every day acceptable aspect of American madness.

Was it any wonder Seung-Hui felt the way he did?

I mean, this isn't the first time it happened in your country. Shouldn't bullying and discriminating in your country have been lessened by now? (especially among students)

Or do you deny being responsible for such incidents

(not in accusing note but rather of curiosity, why such a country as yours, a first world, has these incidents)

SCHOOLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST AND SECURE PLACES for an INDIVIDUAL
