The police are minutes away when seconds count.

It is illegal for citizens to own guns in China. http://news.yahoo.co...-064458804.html My point in posting that news article was to show gun restrictions won't stop the cycle of violence at schools. We need to stop programming our children to kill. Read "On Killing" by Lt.Col. Dave Grossman if you would like to learn more about the psychology of killing in war and society. I have read several books, attended multiple trainings and seminars on school shooters and school shootings. It is a societal problem, not a gun problem. Media that is infesting our children's minds at a young age is training them to kill. Video games (emphasis on first person shooters) more so than the other forms. I am not an academic expert on the topic of school shooters and school shootings, but I have been trained by several experts in the field. I am former armed forces, and a current police officer. I have received the education on these topics because of the probability that I will be responding to an active shooter. The experts I refer too are University academics at the top of their field that have been one or both as well and have conducted studies as well as interviewed our countries school shooters that have lived to see prison. Of those shooters interviewed they all had several things in common. 1) they weren't afraid to die. 2) they were all afraid of failure 3) they acknowledged that schools were an easy target because they knew no one was armed to stop them, so the probability of their failure was lower. 4) they said as they were doing it, it was just like in their video games. They had become so detached from society that life was there video game. Mind you this isn't some sampling study of civilians and what their opinions are, these are the words of the killers themselves. Same goes for the attacks on malls and theaters. The people doing these attacks have known these are no weapons zones for civilians, so there only opposition could be armed officials. The security officer's in our malls are even unarmed, as they are in many cities. The doctors and experts I refer too started out wanting to know why these people are doing this so that they could better train first responders, not forward a political agenda. The better we understand the minds of killers, the better we can prevent and prepare to respond to such incidents. I recommend any writing by this expert if you would like to further your knowledge on the topic. http://www.killology.com/bio.htm Also any writing by Phil Chalmers. I realize posting this on a video game forum is going to piss of the parents that let there 7-?? year old play but the facts speak for themselves. Video games are MA for a reason. Couple the above with one of the many forms of mental illness or cases where there were "signs" before but no one acted and you have a recipe for disaster.

Thanks Beers!

Glad to see the snoop troop made it to the forums! Enjoy and hope to see you all in XI tags soon.

I solved my windows key problem with my spyderco knife. I have a gaping repairable hole. Threw the windows key in my desk drawer for when I sell my keyboard. Not.

Praying for your family.

Yep Yep I concur........... We already tried that, remember?.. no one wanted to play on the other one, they all wanted to play together on the same server. I think that a ctf server would be kewl like someone else suggested earlier for waw. I always liked being able to go to the non nam freezetag server, not sure why none of the other idiots did. I actually enjoyed the non nam maps better. However capture the flag would be a nice change of pace.
