My modest proposal, skip Moore, and read (sorry progressives, it's not video)
A Modest Proposal: For Preventing The Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being Aburden to Their Parents or Country, and For Making Them Beneficial to The Public
It's at the library, unless some peacenik has blown the library up.
Good source of protein, and will reduce global warming since teens drive too much.
Less teens, less global warming.
Might be a factor to consider before allowing these walking time bombs to purchase a weapon.
You forgot the Barf Alert.
I don’t believe there was any hard evidence that this kid was taking drugs...that was just a rumor.
“The value in this film”.
There is no value in it because he lied and staged scenes, and completely mislead the audience. If you want to make an honest and convincing argument, not lying is one of the important steps in that process.
They drank water within 24 hours of commiting the crime too.
That’s my first question to environazis: How many “planet killers” have you spawned?
Regarding “Bowling”: it’d be nice to see a conservative film maker (I know there are a couple) do a MM-style documentary on Virginia Tech, showing how the administration banned guns and basically set the scene for yesterday’s events.
As someone just told me, even a broken clock is right two times a day. And Moore is right here.

And what to explain the mind of serial killers, tylenol poisoners, and Islamonazis?
They are EVIL and CRAZY. Don’t limit my rights as a result.
If somone has been diagnosed as having violent mental disorders, they should be LOCKED UP as criminally insane.
If we are going to be told they are not accountable in court for their actions (”insanity defense”) then they should not be loose in the first place. They certainly should not be permitted to roam unescorted. If they cannot be held accountable for their actions then they need a legal guardian who WILL be held accountable for their restraint.
IMO that connection is tenuous at best. If you want a connection to violence, look to alcohol.
But it's a slippery slope, particularly if you believe in the right to bear arms.
I admit I haven't gotten as much flak on FR, a pro gun site, as elsewhre, but I've occasionally posted here on the disingenous nature of the ban on, in Illinois and elsewhere, gun ownership for those committed to mental institutions, and everywhere the ban on purchases.
"Crazy people", like felons, sure, there's a legitimate public interest in regulation.
But most affected are alcohol and drug addicts, who seek treatment.
A LEO with an alcohol problem, everything is OK till he gets help, then his job is in jeopardy. For the LEO, his union will take care of it.
What are you going to do, ban gun ownership for people on antidepressants?
The clear constitutional issue aside, if a gunowner has a problem, what do you want him to do, seek treatment and surrender his guns?
Doesn't take much imagination to see where that goes.
...it is a remarkably nuanced assessment of the zeitgeist.
Anyone who talks like that should have their arm ripped off and they should be beaten to death with the wet end.
I dont believe there was any hard evidence that this kid was taking drugs...that was just a rumor.
I heard them say it on TV so it’s got to be true! ;-)
(DO I REALLY NEED A SARC TAG?)
No, it's the Capital Times.
While I almost always disagree, they're consistant, and I respect their opinions, so it's not a barf.
Of this, I have no doubt.
It seems that antidepressants and other related drug concoctions seem to be become a common thread with these killers who snap

Yeah--- sicko Michael Moore is one happy guy tonight. He is the one prick in America who has everything to gain from this tragedy.
I checked out his website, and he's exploiting the massacre for his own personal gain ["Bowling For Columbine"].
I refuse to leave his stinkin' link.
Oh puhleeeeze. Spare me.
You know, as I look at violent, murderous episodes around the world, the overwhelming majority are perpetrated by MEN. So what say we just ban men. That may not eliminate all violence, but it will eliminate most. Makes as much sense as blaming the gun industry, U.S. foreign policy, and defensive weapons for incidents like Columbine and Virginia Tech does. Sheesh!
I have to disagree on that one.
