I was about to ask this, then realized they took out the engineering classes. 'Bout the only relivance I can see here.

"Things Fall Apart; The Center Will Not Hold"... Yeates. Everytime i hear about these shootings, the "terrorists" seem a little further away in a less relevant place.
Whether or not there is some sort of god, I'm not supposed to say/god is a word and the argument ends there-Smog
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.
I am struck by the consistent description of this event as the "worst school shooting in U.S. history." While this is certainly true, it artificially makes this into a tool for the anti-gun lobby. A more balanced presentation would include mention of the Bath School Disaster-- a 1927 school BOMBING in which the eventual toll was 45 dead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster The subtext seems to be that we've got it really bad today, and that good people don't own guns.
The person who did the shooting was just upset that Sanjaya might actually win American Idol

I mean after all that dude sucks!
I love how every country other than America seems to think that only America has violent idiots.
Yummy yummy dog nuts! I take mine with sugar!

Your comment is a burrito, and sometimes a burrito makes you feel all bloated and gassy.
The Nanjing Anti-African riots leading to Tiananmen Square may, themselves, have been a precursor to today's massacre at Virginia Tech University reportedly committed by an Asian student (although verification is not yet in). If so, it is important to discuss the raciosexual (yes I made up that word and it deserves reification) dynamics of campus life, particularly how it impacts the education of young men not equipped to deal with a sexual ecology that would never appear in nature. If this is taken to mean I harbor sympathies for young men who might go on murderous rampages against those of another race that are fucking their women on campus--the answer is, "Yes". If this is further taken to mean that I hold innocent young men, living among foreigners in another country, who go on such rampages--the answer is, "No".
It is on this basis that I would like to interview a Chinese nationalist with first-hand knowledge of the situation facing young men in Nanjing so we can discuss how to prevent such torture of young men trying to receive an education--and potentially prevent catastrophic wars between our great nations resulting from vicious policies of multiculturalism.

Seastead this.
But my comment, like burritos, is something I indulge in without guilt, because it is just too tasty to resist.
