I simply stated why I stay out of these discussions and you saw that as an excuse to insult me. This is exactly why I stay away from political discussions, because of people like you.

The very first reply to your post really proved your point.

Native Americans did fine with Bow and Arrows until the Europeans invaded with gun powder--Guns and gun powder have killed a lot of people.

Here in Michigan, we arrested the parents of the 14-year old who shot up his school. Now I just wonder if some other kid thinks, hey, I can shoot up my school AND get my parents arrested. Win, win.

What I haven't seen discussed is the fact that shooting up a school has become a copycat crime. Why? What is some disturbed kid watching when one of these events occurs that makes him think, 'yeah, I wanna do that too' ? Is it the images of the sobbing parents and friends? Is it the media portrayal of the shooter as 'evil' ?

I sometimes wonder what would happen if these shooters were portrayed as the mentally retarded losers they actually are and were actually somehow made fun of. I know you couldn't do it out of respect for the victims, but whatever we're doing now as a society is not working.

Native Americans also scalped, enslaved, and cooked and ate their enemies. So, personally, I'd rather be shot.

The same comparison can be made with horses and cars.
