So now the NRA has made their statement about the School Shooting in CT. What did you expect the folks at America's foremost Anti-Gun Control Group to say? Of course, a Good Guy with a Gun is the only way to stop a Bad Guy with a Gun. That leads to more guns, which has worked out so well in Florida. Just shoot anyone if you feel threatened, Stand Your Ground, and the rest will work out. (a better way to say it is- Shoot 1st ask questions later) By the way, there was a Cop at Columbine School and we know how that worked out.
At the end of the day WE have to take a closer look at what WE let our kids do, watch, listen and play. It's a WE problem. Not too long ago a singer performing in a Wedding Dress and humping the stage was racy, now a Boob Shot during the Superbowl even seems lite, heck you can even say FUCK on TV as long as it's a live mic & after 11pm. At some point WE have to take responsibility for our viewing/listening habits. Yea, Yea, I know our rights would be taken away, it's our 1st Amendment Right to free speech, blow out your behind if you can't see how things have gotten a bit out of control the past 40 years. So yea I guess I'm blaming the Baby Boomers. You brought us the 60's & 70's drug culture and so VERY, VERY Bad Music after the Beatles, they get a pass, but other than the Beatles your age group has just sucked. You can, Mr. & Mrs. Boomer can't even balance a budget or pass a bill that could fix things thru congress. But if it involves a tax break or way to make you a little richer while sticking to the next generation you are all for.
Parents, WTF. When you give your kids everything and I mean everything what the hell do you expect. Before you start your "I don't" speech stop and think about what you had growing up and then think about what you gave your kids. Every kids DOES NOT deserve a Trophy in Little League, there things called winners & loser. We all hope we win every time out but we all know the truth, we fail more often than we win. Face it. Teaching our next great generation that winning doesn't matter how leads to less productivity & excuses. Not every kid is gonna be a doctor or president of a corporation but no matter what position in life your child ends up in he or she will need the drive to succeed. With out that they as good as homeless. It's true and you know it. Wise up.
Hollywood....Where the hell should a person start. Just because it sells doesn't mean it's a good thing. I used to listen to Howard Stern, Howie would defend his radio show, which is a good show I know, but every once and while Howie would say something that would get him in trouble with some group. Reports would asked him about his little girl, "Howard would you let your Daughter listen to your show?" Depending on the subject matter sometimes he said yes sometimes he said no. At least he was honest. But the bigger point is, sometimes a little respect is all that is needed. $$$$'s are great don't get me wrong but if a movie is just guns, blood & guts and a bit of sex to spice it up, where does the story come in? Remember that, the Novel, the Essay, the True Story...it kinda gets lost in the BS the movie companies throw up on a screen for people's hard earned dollar. Saving Private Ryan was a good movie but even Vet's who say where a bit taken a back by the Blood & Guts.
So, there is a problem but just blaming one group is not the answer. WE have to fix it. Pass the Assult Weapons Ban, Ban Clips over 10 ten rounds, Hollywood needs to stop making us less concerned about death/how we kill, Parents suck it up- teach not cover up and look at the world around you. What can you do? I'm sure you will find that there is a lot you can fix in your world. If not we'll be here again.
