Just wait till our troops get home... the mental health community will really have its hands full.

I usually will have to agree with anyone who possesess the name "Busty". So I 100% agree with anything you say.

To begin with if you're going to refer to President, of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA(!) as "chimp" please extend that same kindness to all previous presidents. Clinton shall be "sex-fiend", Bush Sr. "Chimp Sr." and Carter as "the goober who couldn't free American prisoners from Iran" (goober didn't have the same level of "kindness" as Chimp or sexfiend). Either call him Bush or Mr. President or simply shut the f**k up. And don't even use the word oppression, cause you won't even know the real meaning, sweat heart.
That rant through, maybe you should blame Clinton (or is it sex fiend? which are we on?) for Columbine and Pawducka to name a few. There's way more than those two. Don't even begin to politize this event. It only shows how dumb and ignorant you really are.

seeing as how I lived 15 minutes from the shootings at WestSide High School when they happened in Jonesborro I have to disagree with you on this one being Bush's fault.. I don't like the guy or his administration.. but this has been going on in the US for a while now.. and we need to start asking the right questions.. like WHY would someone want to do this? what could have been done differently to find and help this obviously disturbed person so that they wouldn't go on a killing spree? and no.. taking away guns isn't the answer.. they'll just tart bombing or something else.. there will always be a tool..

This guy was an exception, not the norm. But I agree with you about the funding of mental health and social problems.
Most Americans aren't aware that close to 1/3 of the troops are diagnosed as having ptsd (post traumatic stress syndrome). Unless they get the help they DESERVE, it is going to be a huge problem.

Much as I dislike the administration, you can't blame this on Bush.
I agree, mental health care is exceedingly lacking in this country (my husband works in that field), but you can't correlate the two.
Korean wives have the highest suicide rate. Asians in general have this concept of face-saving that makes them avoid embarrassment on others by taking it on themselves (in it's simplest/non-complete definition). In general, they don't believe in talking to others about their problems, and education has always been a particular stressor.
Believe me, I'm not excusing the shooter's actions by any means, but I'm not sure he would have sought help that is usually very available on college campuses. My heart goes out to everyone involved.

Bush has a lot to answer for, but the only deranged shooter he is responsible for is Cheney.

No, I doubt President Bush is even aware you are oppressed by a chimp.

People such as you are amazing. If Bush is responsible for creating this deranged shooter is he also responsible for your retardation? You must not a very strong personality if you allow a politician to create your personality.

So how do you explain the double digit number of school shootings, including Columbine, that happened during the Clinton administration? Maybe the cause of these problems is a little more difficult to understand than people like you are capable of.

You are out of line.. Even I , who detest Bush cannot put the blame on him.
I can however, blame all politicians for being so weak as to let the NRA legislate whether or not every Tom, Dick and Harry in this country should have a gun. it really is time we got the weapons out of the hands of all except legal authorities and learn ed to live together.
i find it absolutely hilarious, that as I write this, my words are automatically censored.. and the word for "Richard' is taken out as offencive.. and yet i could be sitting here dangling a fun on my finger in this library.. and no one would care... Oh God, what a strange world we live in.

With that line of thinking then Clinton created terrorists!
Remember: The first Twin Towers attack, Oklahoma Federal Building, USS Cole, Two Embassies in Africa. Now don't you feel a little ashamed to say that Bush created that nasty situation? Probally not! You're not old enough!
