VA Tech Shootings: 32 + 1 Dead (Mourning Thread)

And as compassionate as you claim yourself to be, your preference of this board to be without the essence of "America" says all that it needs to about how much of a phony you really are.

People post on this board from all around the world, I'm sure America isn't an overwhelming majority either. Care to rethink your stance about why American values should be instilled on this forum?

Because I love American values. And even though I disagree with people trying to force it onto other countries, I still think it represents the best of humanity on the face of the earth.

And no, I'm not running for election.

You know Genosync, you really need to calm down. While you have all the rights in the world to be upset, so do other people to have the right to their own ideas and personalities, which expressions are most explicitly garenteed on the internet where freedom of speech is at its naked form. If you are easily offended by criticism whether it's constructive or not, you should avoid the internet for your own good.

LOL, can the kid post without you or another fucking moron telling him to calm down? Like I said, you're not there at VT, you have no fucking clue what's going through his head. Let's give these guys the benefit of the doubt for the time being.

And why are people fucking criticizing anything to do with this thread? Really. shame on you. If I were a mod I would have banned your ass for your insensitivity and stubborness.

No one has guaranteed freedom of speech on this board you ignorant ass. This isn't America, this is webspace owned by someone who sets their own rules of moderation and censorship.

The fact that I'm typing whatever I want right this second and hitting post and letting everybody see it is the expression of naked form freedom of speech. The fact that Syn has said what he said and can continue to post and his post are not yet deleted is the expression of naked form freedom of speech. The fact that as upset as you are, you can not stop me from making this post is the naked form of freedom of speech. I may not think Genosync deserves it, but it exists regardless of what your sorry little ass claims.

You, sir, are a brainless, senseless, clueless retard whose only sad little satisfaction comes from getting off on your hallucination of you "owning" someone else by saying "fuck" as many times as you do.

And as compassionate as you claim yourself to be, your preference of this board to be without the essence of "America" says all that it needs to about how much of a phony you really are.

The problem with your post is that the internet is not an American entity and the owner of this webspace can, in fact, set whatever rules of speech they wish. Your first amendment rights absolutely do not apply to a web forum. Sure, you can type what you want and hit submit, but if a moderator decides they don't like what you say, they have the power to punish you by either removing your forum access or deleting your post. You can cry about censorship, the essence of America and the first amendment all you want but the truth is it doesn't matter. In my personal opinion, your insults towards Norelco don't make you any better than him. In fact, they may make you worse for sinking to that level.

If you people ever want anyone who actually matters in the real world to take you seriously, you're going to have to drop the petty, childish insults and learn to discuss things in the proper forum at the proper time with the proper attitude. Coming into a thread that was created with the purpose of keeping the denizens of this board informed of FACTUAL information and first hand accounts of the events in Virginia spewing mindless commentary on subjects that have already been declared inappropriate for this thread is an act of complete disrespect for the people affected and the people who maintain this webspace. There have been threads created for us to discuss the other topics; move to those to push your agendas and argue your beliefs.

the school just sent an e-mail not too long ago , asking me to apply for that school

This thread is now about capitalism.

Discuss.

I'm not crying about censorship and the essense of America. Why should I? I'm still posting here.

And I'm certainly not doing childish insults, but merely making statements of observation. My descriptions you take as insults actually mean something, unlike the "fucking..." as preposition some people prefer to use.

The reason I'm under fire is because I'm seen as uncompassionate for not being completely and utterly supportive of the VT victims as everyone on the face of the earth seems to have an obligation doing. So bandwagons as usual jump and shout, as if their words could really affect me like mine affect them.

You know if you get an "native american" and dress him like a jap you can't tell the difference.

[RandomJoe]

Ahkow, Don't let the media skew your views of our school. Virginia Tech is an amazing place to be and I consider the Virginia Tech community to be stronger than ever now after these incidents.

Don't let the television media and they're negative portrayal of "lack of safety and protection" sway your opinion about our school

The officers and the people present did everything within they're power at the time and acted as responsibly as possible. I can not stand all the fruitflies on campus critisizing how people responded.

Hindsight is 20/20 and the officers followed protocol and responded as well as they could.

Don't let this event turn you off from our school; I wouldn't want to be anywhere else

Just because some people have freedom of speech doesn't mean they should speak.

As I pointed out before, you and a few others are coming here and spewing inconsiderate crap about what happened and don't expect to have someone who was involved get upset? And then when one of the people involved gets upset and starts bitching back at you, you tell them they need to calm down? Do you not see how incredibley inconsiderate you are!?

Yes, you can say whatever the hell you want here and hit enter with nothing getting in your way. Doesn't mean you should. Regardless of what freedoms you have maybe you should step back and THINK about someone other than yourself before you post the dribble you do.

It really irks me that some people can be so inconsiderate. Hell.. I feel bad argueing in this thread because this shouldn't be what this thread is about... but some people just don't seem to get it.

I'd hate to use something so cliche and old but: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Seriously...

[Chreman]

At the very least this experience has taught us that GRT is an ignorant dick.

[Nirokun!]

i was never really good at getting my ideas down (on paper or any media >_>) elmer

if you guys want to respond to eachother, do so as adults, and stop the pointless bickering--everyone thinks they're right, and the louder you yell, the less they listen. do you best to make your posts uh... fruitful? (not to crush anyone's self-expression, but a lot of these posts about what someone "should" feel really go in the wrong direction.... and that seems to provoke the people using this thread as a way to mourn with eachother. idk.)

(To whoever said gtfo if you're not mourning or w/e, make a mourning thread [go geno], and leave this thread as a general thread with all sorts of miscellaneous (sp?) information in it)

(make a fight thread if you want to, but include those trippy mario pics so everyone leaves feeling good )

so yeah... 'fruitful' posts

huh, genosync didn't bitch back at me(or at least i don't think he did). i asked him to calm down for his own good, and if this thread or this forum was upsetting him that much, he really shouldn't come here at all, so he can find a peace of mind, which i think would be something someone like him really need--as opposed to a meaningless verbal fight here that don't solve shit

[Elmer the Pointy]

are you an american?

if so, wow... such a great post

if not, well its still great

Yes, I'm American.

PS: Elmer, I respected you for your skill as an amazing player with your Puppetmaster tricks and videos that you put out... especially that Taru AA fight. Now I respect you for a whole lot more. Also, thanks for the laugh with the 'allowed to care' calculation. Showed it to a few engineers and they laughed too. Kinda lightened the mood a bit without being insensitive.

Thanks, I just feel a lot of people see different opinions and when they don't take the time to understand what's underneath they go on the offensive too quickly. So I'm just trying to explain stuff the best way I can. I hope you and your VT friends are enjoying your time off as best you can after such an event.

I could be ostracized and ignored forever and never turn into a monster.

Your statement makes it sound like he couldn't help being what he was due to society... when in reality, his brain was fucked. It didn't function properly... society had nothing to do with this, otherwise there'd be a lot more social misfits driven to monstrous acts like this.

Well, I don't want to create more debates so I'll just say I hope you never have to prove it.

Also, I did mention at the end of my post that his mental issues made his situation unique and possibly inevitable, despite what anyone may have tried to do to help him.

[Tenren]

You know whats really messed up about this tragedy (besides the killings) is how the media got the parents and family involved like they were accomplices to the tragedy. Even the sister of the gunman had her own article of herself on the yahoo news. Just kinda sad that now his family will be ruined from this even though they had no direct impact on the tragedy.
