Number 6, um in several cases the shooters were stopped by teachers who were carrying guns. And how would spending more money have prevented these latest shootings?

Some kids don’t have parents and some parents cannot adequately raise their children. I am sure many on this website are parents of children and can relate that once they reach their teenage years one has barely any say in where their life goes anymore. Money towards prevention programs; specifically counceling, helps kids in this country beyond what most people believe. Most kids just need someone to talk to and education in the areas of concern, in many schools, these people and educational oppurtunities are decreasing with the budget cuts in their areas. What is most worrysome is that these cuts first affect, and most dramatically affect, the poorest of school which are known for the most violence (specifically gangs).

Our money should be heading towards our children. They are the future of our country, and what could be more important than that? We should be going forwards in our educational system; spending more money on prevention programs, not less.

It is the parents responsibility at home to raise their children! The schools should not need money for drugs, violence, sex, or any other kind of prevention programs. But if you think they should have these programs then we need to quit paying for the illegal aliens education. The bilingual education, the EL classes, the CELDT, the millions of dollars spent to teach second language learners English and then we would have some tax dollars to spend on other programs! Also, teachers do not have any rights to tell the children what to do without parents getting all up in arms so the kids of today just run wild! So if you are an adult with children start with parenting your own children before asking the schools to do it for you and quit blaming the President!

Some suggestions for BUSH & crazy Repugs to protect our childrens
1. Fence Bill for ALL US SCHOOLS.
2. Have metal detectors & X-Rays every school entry. Every ppl &bags & shoes should be scanned. Of cause have mail boxes for “SHIP HOME” handguns, knifes, scissors and so on.
3. Whitetap Bill. Focus on YOUNG BOYS, they’re very dangerous for REPUGS leaders.
4. Torture Bill for suspects attack our schools. Flight them to GITMO. Beat them, strip them, rape them, let dogs bite them …
5. At war with Chavez. He have connection with the crazy Amish gunman. He’s developing WMDs to attack our shools. And we will have his oils too…
6. Claim victims why they not play hooky in that day. Claim Bill not connect the dots to catch those crazy man. Long live CLAIMISM.
7. For all Repugs leaders to REHAB, they drunk too much to forget that we have children to protect.

Silly silly democrats. The solution to violence is more guns. It will make us safer. If people are using semi-atomatics, allow fully atomatics. See? Why not sell weapons to everyone, so we can all be safe. In fact, why don’t we give guns to the school children, so they can protect themselves. Have you people forgoten 9-11, why do you all hate America?

A Left Wing who is afraid of trigger-happy gun nuts.

Typical of the repugs. They know the cost of everything, and the value of nothing.

I’m so sick of Democrats and Republicans I that I just want to camp out on the steps of Congress with a box of laxatives and a cauldron full of baked beans.

This article is not nearly deep enough to address this issue. The fact that a government program has a pretty name is not sufficient proof that it is all good, all necessary, or all worthy of our tax dollars. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act sounds lovely, but I think we all know what a beast that turned out to be.

Tell me what “juvenile crime prevention” means, for God’s sake. What is the money being spent on? We don’t just give a check for $400 million to the Magic Juvenile Crime Prevention Man and send him off into Urbania to save the day. I want to know if any of that money is being spent to illegally search kids’ lockers or vehicles or to randomly drug test kids who don’t deserve such an invasion of privacy.

How much of that money is being spent to research the effectiveness of BUGS BUNNY cartoons in preventing gum-chewing during recess? I’m sure there are some legitimate functions being performed thanks to the funding that is at issue here, but how am I supposed to know from this article? There’s no reason to assume that some ridiculous and unrelated side-projects weren’t slipped into the mix when the law was written.

As for the grants, who are they giving the money to and what are the restrictions on how it can be used?

To blame George W. Bush for the school shootings is a pitifully stupid thing to do. For those who are so desperate to sink your teeth into little Georgie, there are a myriad of other ways that you can gratify your bloodlust, like – oh, I don’t know – the deficit, the War (on Civil Liberties), the War (in Iraq), the infestation of our politics with religion, and so on and so forth.

These school shootings are a result of the fact that our children are raised in a world that aggressively tries to get into their minds from the moment they’re old enough to say, “Mommy, buy me that!” Throw in a little bad parenting and the inevitable cruelty of the everpresent bullies, and it’s bound to happen.

After the first wave of shootings, the people who ran our schools got on their toes. It was hard to even express a violent thought in school without going into lockdown – remember all the stories of kids who were suspended for drawing a picture that scared somebody? I think we’ve grown more comfortable in the intervening years and we let down our guard.

But really, to assume that the federal government was the only thing standing between our children and mass assassination is so far beyond ridiculous that it sounds like something George W. would say in a drunken stupor.

The American media and our political eaders are collaborating to turn us all into a shriveled populace devoid of any neurological function whatsoever. May God obliterate the Republican Party forever. May he turn the quivering remnants of the Democratic Party into vapor. We have to do something new, or this country is going to DIE. We can feel it, the internal rot. It’s happening and there is nothing that we can do about it, so long as we continue to send these fat, secure attention-whores to Washington, DC.

We need a prophet, like the ones in ancient Jerusalem, who would stand in the streets and cry to the heavens, This nation will be destroyed if we do not change our ways! It’s not because of the gays, it’s not because of the rock n’ roll, and it’s not because we’ve forgotten our Judeo-Christian heritage. It’s because we have allowed an aristocracy to settle their rotund and oft-sat-upon backsides into the seats of power.

That aristocracy has a name. That name is REPUBLICRATS and they will chew us up and spit us out without so much as a tip of the hat if that’s what it takes to stay in power.

The word “revolution” implies a circular, and therefore recurring, movement. We completed the first in 1776. Here’s hoping that we’ve almost finished the second.

The fact of the matter is that, in reference to the issue of origin in this discussion, the perpetrators of the shootings ARE directly responsible. There is no debating that. That said, however, it is common knowledge that individuals with these propensities exist, both among children and adults. Their very existence warrants some form of protection from them. Cutting funding for preventative and protective measures makes no sense and shows an alarming lack of concern and/or regard for the safety of students. (Granted, this issue is null and void in regard to the Amish, which I would know having grown up and still having family in Lancaster, PA.) This is an example of the discussion of a larger, more general issue stemming from one or a few specific incidents. It is not granting the gunmen immunity for their actions at all, in cases where they don’t self-destruct first, they deserve full punishment.

What I would love to see some time is at least the attempt at a discussion that leaves political parties behind and analyzes the policies of this administration based soley on criteria of right and wrong. That criteria could be based on the teachings of Christ, that would suit me fine although I personally identify as neo-pagan. But I think if you just threw these things out there stripped of political identity and asked the average American to judge them based on their personal definition of right and wrong, the response would be interesting. America has got to get over this liberal vs neo-con, us vs them mentality that’s been foisted upon us and start independently evaluating and monitoring the actions of this government or our constitutional democracy will be lost, to the detriment of us all. This is not aimed at anybody, left or right, it’s just how it is. MY personal proclivity is to lean left but I am just very weary of all this fingerpointing and name calling and division that we’ve all allowed to be built between us as Americans that diverts us from our much more important role as stewards of our constitution and the final and ultimate check on government power.
