The Next Columbine

[Exiled]

Noone failed him.
Don't try to go and blame other people for this kid's sick and twisted mind.

Where do you think his "sick and twisted mind" came from?

[Inderos]

You guys act like you never knew that kid in High School that everyone made fun of. The one that would walk by and everyone would talk about how fucked up they thought he was, and all the problems they knew he must have. I know plenty of kids like that. No one failed him? Open you eyes and look at some of the shitty things people do to each other. He didn't just wake up one day and think, "I'm going to shoot some people." It was a series of events that drove him to a breaking point. Take some fucking responsibility for the shit you say to people. That kid you call an emo faggot today, might shoot someone else tomorrow.

[Takarious]

I understand Inderos, I'll stop making fun of you for being gay... I suggest the rest of you do the same lest we see our one and only Goldylocks turn into Rambo.

[Glenn47]

We should all really look out for Seth Burg in our school. He's quiet, everyone makes fun of him, and he wrote an entire paper on how his family collects rocks. Luckily I never make fun of people in my school anymore. It's just not worth it.
Also, I do feel for the gunman. His idiotic parents should have seen it coming. I mean come on, he goes to newgrounds regularly. That would drive me to it. Anyone else?
All that can be said now though is this- Seth must never know of newgrounds.

I think it's too late. Now that he's already this insane, there's no reason to stop.

I knew that someone would interpret what I was saying incorrectly, and look far too deeply into my words. I'm not the type that's easily made fun of and though some people on this board might think they do a pretty good job at it, things would be different if you were speaking to me directly. And even if I were made fun of regularly, I'm not the type to shoot up a school- life is too precious when it's all you believe in.

[Greatchickenman]

wut a little prick. who the hell goes out and shoots all these people just cos he's a loner? maybe if he tried to get some friends, he wouldn't be so lonely. have you read the newspaper articles? they say he likes Hitler and Nazis, and guns, and gothicness. if the little dickhead just tried to be normal and less gothic, maybe people would like him. i say good riddance. next time, just shoot urself.

I couldnt have said it better myself.

Oh please. How can the blame lie solely with him? "Find friends" he says. Yeah right. It's not like you can just become friends with people if you were alienated to them before. And "tried to be normal and less gothic, maybe people would like him." Come on. Nothing is that simple. To get down to it, he was driven to do it. It's not like he woke up and decided to shoot up his school one day for no reason.

I can't even imagine how people can be so callous. "next time, just shoot urself." Oh please. It's easy to say shit like this now. But there was probably more than one point in his life when he could have been taken off the course that led him to the point of shooting up the school.

He deserves as much pity for whatever drove him to it as the people he killed.

Oh boo hoo hoo. he lived a troubled life. he got picked on. no one loved him. big deal. He goes to school and wastes a bunch of his classmates and you would stick up for him? Sure, its a cruel world out there, but if you snap that just proves you're weak. And I'm sure 99% of the population would say that it would have been better to just shoot himself instead of killing all his classmates.

Then 99% of the population doesn't understand it's that sort of attitude that contributed to his finally shooting up the school.

[Greatchickenman]

So with your reasoning it was better that he go to school and kill a bunch of people, because thats what you're saying.

Wow. How in the hell did you get that? Are we reading the same conversation? I'm saying it's callous assholes that drive people to do things like this. I'm saying he shouldn't have killed himself or killed other people. It's not like those were the only two options to his life. If others had maybe made an effort, neither would have happened.

[Takarious]

I'm pretty sure where this is going. See, I've got no problem with some emotional retard slaying ten (So long as it's not someone I know). I know the type of kid... He sits at a lunch table by himself, he has the faint smell of a cats litter box, he has long blonde greasy hair, has a strange attraction to other boys his age (perhaps due to the absurd ammounts of estrogen that also links with his high feminine voice), probably slightly overweight, and the only refuge he has from his "callous oppressor(s) " is to log onto the internet and his forum communities. At which point, he decides to make the weight of his nihilistic existance shift to the opposite spectrum for a short moment by telling the electronic forum that he's actually a "published writer", or in some cases even "chosen by the government to become a nuclear engineer". Yep, we see these types everyday.

Obviously Inderos, I must be doing a decent job at it. Because to my knowledge noone wants you around. Go beat your mom to death before she gives birth to another shit like you. If she's already pregnate, I simply have two words for you: "coat hanger". Or you could just beat her to death, that would solve both problems fast. If I saw you "directly" as you claim it, I'd probably dent your skull into a concaved bloody mess.

[OverlordBill]

Inderos, I still hate you, but not quite as much now.

Takarious on the other hand has completely taken over the position you once held.

(So long as it's not someone I know)

Oh yes. It's fine for other people to lose someone they love but as long as it doesn't happen to Takarious, the only person who could possibly be sentient, everything's cheery.

Everyone's life is just as important as yours is, you egocentric pig. You and Draco are tied for next to be banned/driven off.

[Takarious]

Who said I was egocentric? Because I value myself more than someone who has no relation to me? Empathy is a waste of time, it neither brings back the dead or actuall consoles the victims family. They will grieve regardless of what you say. You're an idiot to think I'm making a broad statement saying that it's a concrete fact that I'm the only person that matters. I'm saying I'm the only person I give a damn about, because all you other poor sods really have no impact on me to the slightest regard. You really seem to have trouble viewing that which is subjective don't you Bill? Spare me your petty threats Bill, your words are as empty as your mind. No, my life is not more important than anyone else. But in the end noone really has an important life. On a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to 0%, so death is a factor that is set in stone. I'm saying in my damn mind, I value myself more than those I don't know. How does that make me egocentrical to the least if I'm simply concerned for my well being?

I'm starting to see why your ex killed herself..
