What the hell.

[The Black Knight]

Guys what the hell. I dont even know what to think right now. Last thursday two kids at my school, albeit I barely knew them, but they were my age, got kidnapped and were found dead in a car out in the middle of no where. Holy fricken crap, that is 3 members of my grad class to have died in the passed 8 months of something gun related. I log onto facebook and joined the group "In memory of..." and look at the related groups and all 5 of them are the same thing for 5 other people.

I dont even know like, I saw these guys within 4 hours of their death, and now they are just...not alive. Just, what the hell.

Dont tell me the good die young. Thats bullshit, doesnt mean anyone deserves to die though. This world confuses me more everyday.



UPDATE

So someone else from my grad class, is now in the hospital unconscious on a respirator EDIT: He died. Now this guy has a closer relation to me, because for 1.5 years my family took in and basically adopted two sisters who's father was abusive. One of the sisters is in my grad class and her best friend is the guy who is now in the hospital. Im not sure how it happened, but hes in there anyways. Literally my entire grad class is now in shock and very confused, this literally cannot be happening.

Again, edit : I know what happened, id rather not say though.

your right. they didnt deserve to die. and that is terrible that things like that happen everyday. i guess its an eye opener and i honestly dont know what to say....except that it wasnt their time. and although you hardly knew them..im sorry.

[Rebecka]

I'm so sorry for you loss, death is always hard, even if you didn't know the guys.

[Bill]

Well I'm very sorry that happened, but don't go blaming the guns. Your schoolmates died because of evil people in this world and I hope they're brought to justice.

Why do you adore guns so much?

[Bill]

I wouldn't say I adore guns. I don't own any, never so much as held one. I said that because he posted in the guns thread something to the effect of "two people from my school were recently shot", as though he was blaming guns for what happened. Maybe I took it the wrong way, I dunno.

I will, however, admit to my love of controversy, and guns are nothing short of controversial. :-P

The problem with guns is that they're a product of the odd fusion between so called 'useful knowledge' and our modern desire to make things more efficient.

To quote Bertand Russel's essay "Useless Knowledge":
'Modern knowledge has brought about an immense improvement in public health, and at the same time discovered how to eliminate a whole city with poison gas'.

but guns will never kill anyone. People have to use the gun first. Besides, guns aren't just weapons, they are simply tools. Some use them for hunting, others for competitions, and some people because they feel the need to feel safe.

On the other hand, guns have no practical uses other than killing...

But I agree it is a person's right to own a gun... a single gun perhaps. And if they want to go to a shooting range they can rent one.

wow you really are stupid

[The Black Knight]

All im saying is why would anyone support guns if something like this happens. I understand people who dont mind guns, or even own a gun, its the people who literally go out and protest and make sure other people support guns and argue over the fact that they are good or not.

[BSmith]

Your same argument can apply to alcohol, cars, and plastic bags. All of them kill children and teenagers unnecessarily when they are used incorrectly.

[The Black Knight]

What argument? People dont protest that everyone should have a car or that everyone must be drunk.
