Another School Shooting in America, is there an answer?

Where are you getting the 45 school shootings, mass or not? Link?

Link?

You've produced no links, three isolated quotes whatever?

These guys are looking to live -- and live to the fullest. So many of these punks turn to violent video games to get pent up aggression out. So many of these guys have all kinds of psychological issues stemming from how they were raised, how they grew up, experiences with their peers, etc. etc. Life isn't really satisfying them with any answers. And now when you look at culture and entertainment ... everything's so sh*tty and chaotic. Religion is in tatters -- we collectively get more and more atheist everyday. Everyone's going gay or transgendered right in front of our faces, giving us messages about how our ideas of gender and sexuality are all wrong. The Internet has caused chaos because we're dealing with a new realm of existence that can be very different from real life, and it cuts off communication and face-to-face interaction, even voice-to-voice interaction. We're turning robotic. The progress going on is really a scary new platform, an evolution into the unknown. The school thing is probably because a lot of people are really fed up with the idea of school, the idea of having to attend these institutions by force for many years, where the bullies roam -- everyone is still all obsessed about bullying in schools.

Something's not right. The idea that things are getting better -- it's not true. I personally don't even think things are really progressing and getting better myself. We have a black president now, yet we're far from racial harmony. And then there's people everywhere trying to mask all of these problems with slogans about how "everyone's just gotta be happy!" "Love is all you need!" "IT GETS BETTER." None of that works. We live in a psychologically toxic, crazy, neurotic system where only the talented survive. People are turning to nihilism and darkness everyday because they don't have the right tools to cope with all that's being thrown at them. Life is simply getting very complex, in all kinds of directions, when the truth is -- it really doesn't need to be. But so many systems, I think, are in place now, that frustrates people and complicates their lives. These killers are people who don't know how to handle the complexity in a rational, sane outlet. And perhaps worst of all -- we may not be listening to what they have to say, what they feel.

How they try to create a "don't say anything that's offensive" movement yet the internet is an uncensored platform where people say the most offensive things known to man.

But there are things that are strictly pollitical such as the rules for immigration, the number of migrants from Syria you are willing to accept, etc. And if you are a man of Jesus who says you should help the poor, accept evil and instead of punishing evil to turn the other cheek you shouldn't want to build a massive wall between the United States and Mexico, you shouldn't ask yourself can we integrate a huge amount of immigrants in our country, you should say yeah it'll be hard economically, but we should do good, I really don't understand how can a man of god be for these policies which pretty much every republicans are.

Well, first off, it's not remotely true that "pretty much every" Republican is hostile to immigration. The last Republican President wasn't, and the nominee after that wasn't, and the nominee after that was in-between. The party is fairly divided on immigration and most of the disputes are about how to balance legal precedent with a failed system. And the Trump version of "build a giant wall to keep them all out" is in the clear (but loud) minority.

Second, I think I already gave you a perfectly good reason that encompasses these issues as well: good personal behavior is not synonymous with good law. In fact, in some ways it's mutually exclusive. Charitable behavior, for example, is only positive in a moral sense when it's optional. If you force someone to be charitable, it's no longer charity by definition.

And it's sort of a disingenuous argument anyway, isn't it? Surely you'd have major problems with Christians trying to make the tenets of their faith law in virtually any other area. We don't advocate legislating these ideals for the same reason we don't want to mandate church attendance or ban all sinful behavior.

Yesterday October 2nd, at Oregon's Umpqua Community College a 26 year old male shooter went into the school and killed 11 people. What was in his twisted mind as he stood there wearing body armor and heavily armed...

"The gunman, while reloading his handgun, ordered the students to stand up if they were Christians, Boylan told her family. "And they would stand up and he said, 'Good, because you're a Christian, you're going to see God in just about one second,'" Boylan's father, Stacy, told CNN, relaying her account.
"And then he shot and killed them."

School shootings have become a common occurrence in America, why?

Guns themselves are the least of the problem - more people die in auto accidents and from alcohol-related incidents than guns each year, but the extremists on the anti-gun side aren't advocating for reinstating the Prohibition, which would be the logical course of action if "preventing death" was their real agenda (but it isn't - it's just sating their emotional whim rather than actually coming up with a pragmatic solution the the problem).

except cars and alcohol serve a purpose beyond shooting things. if you kill someone with one of those things, you are doing something completely contrary to its intended use, but guns are designed with the idea that you will have to shoot someone or something.

What I'm saying is more that my impression (that might be wrong) of things like fox news, right wing america is often intolerant toward immegration, pointing out the differences

(I'm thinking about Bill O'Reilly who constantly talks about how the blacks aren't integrated, etc.).

My point was that there seems to be a large distance between what the christian doctrine, the teachings of Jesus seem to be (based on the new testament) and how the mostly christian pollitical group in your country is diametrically the opposite of that.
