Current Events - October 2006

Ok, lately there have been a lot of school shootings within the past month:
*the guy that opened fire on that college cafeteria in Canada
*the shooting at the Colorado school
*that shooting at Duquesne at the basketball players
*the shooting of a principal last wk in Wisconsin
*TODAY* a shooting at an Amish school in PA
*TODAY* two Las Vegas schools were in lockdown as police tried to find teen gunman seen with a gun...

What the hell is going on?
Has anyone else noticed this?

If you read my past questions you will get the feel of what is going on.
1)I downloaded child pornography in 1996
2)I was arrested and served 48 months in federal prison
3)I was released after serving 85% for good behavior
4)I served 3 years supervised release
5)I am a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER
6)I married in 2003
7)We had a BEAUTIFUL baby daughter in 2004
8)She is now 2 ½ years old
9)My wife is freaking psycho (tried to kill me with a knife) – filed in a police report that is public – there is NO disputing this
10)She threatened to leave me and take my daughter

My wife and I have been in a custody battle since my daughter (and I say MY DAUGHTER because my wife? Is… well, you will see) has been 1 year old. My lawyer told me to expect the worst. Well, TODAY – Monday, October 02, 2006 the judge ruled. The ruling is that I (the registered sex offender) have FULL custody of the daughter.

i don't understand what is with all of the youth these days it really breaks my heart that there are so many school shootings and must children these days really live in fear about going to school and trying to do better by educating themselves!? i'm only 22 but i never imagined something like that happening when i went to school-its so sad, i wish there was something this country could do, sigh..

Check on cnn.com, this time in an Amish school in Pennsylvania!
As a society, what can we do about all this? It is getting so out of hand.

Who would you stand by India or Pakistan in terms of honesty and integrity.
Do you think one,or both would support the West if a major conflict was to erupt that did not involve either,but one we needed help with.

"...you're a terrorist." George Bush's words on the War on Terror. Given that intelligence experts in the US and UK are now both saying that the War in Iraq is actually helping to RECRUIT terrorists, are we now within our rights to legally define Bush and Blair as terrorists, and if so, how do we go about ensuring regime change in their terrorist states?

in 1993 a bird flew up and hit my bedroom window and the next day my mom died. In 1997 at my sisters house a bird slammed into the picture window and the next day my grandma died, 2 weeks later another bird came into my sisters patio area slamming into her glass windows, she shooed him out with a broom. Oct, 15th 1997 she died. Today October 2nd 2006 a bird flew into my x husbands house and it slammed into alot of windows and finally he got it out the bathroom window while he was on the phone with me I am scared to death right now!!!

Because of people like you, leaders of the world’s richest countries met in July 2005 and made a number of historic promises to help end the kind of extreme poverty that is needlessly killing 9,000 people a day in Africa. Millions of lives and the future of a continent are at stake.

I feel so helpless to do anything that will make a difference, or motivate more people to care about what is going on over there. It feels like everyone is either completely apathetic or just so distracted by their daily life that they can't be bothered. At least with Vietnam, Americans were much more vocal about resisting it. Is the difference now because of the lack of the draft? Is the attitude "well, I won't be drafted, so I don't have to worry about this"? Everyone knows that this war is wrong. Everyone knows that we were lied to and 'scared' into allowing it.

No one can see the end of it or succinctly state what our goal is and why it changes every two seconds...from find and dismantle WMDs...there were none...to "we meant 'remove Saddam'" (mission accomplished!)...to "we meant 'establish democracy'"...to "we meant 'fight terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here.'"...which incidentally, was not a problem we had with Iraq in the first place on March 19, 2003.
