Dan Patrick's the only one recognizing the elephant in the room. It's all due to the crisis of the "lost boy" which is a holistic shit storm of the following..
-violent video games (and general grotesque violence in the media).. You can say what you want but this stuff does help harbor fantasies for individuals who are extremely resentful even if it's just a tiny percentage of individuals. A tiny percentage of people also die of cancer and AIDs, doesn't dismiss the problem.
-Removing religion from schools.. While I don't think having a particular religion in the classroom is important unless you're religious yourself, the nation was founded on Christian morals of goodness. In 2018 all of this is considered hogwash by the mainstream left as "just a construct".. Well taxes and laws are just constructs too. However instead of religion I think we just need that cultural notion of american goodness that is inspired by Christianity personally. All religions have their notions of goodness because all religions are meant to solve incredibly complex problems with respect to society's advancement and flourishment.
-Abortions and broken families. I think this is a big issue here. Just utter neglect of human life for peoples' own selfish desires. I personally am pro-life but respect peoples decision to get an abortion given its not treated like a plan B pill. I am also for abortion in cases where pregnancy might kill the mother as well as rape. I think the bigger issue though is simply broken families. Boys being raised in homes with no father where they never learn individual responsibility or general discipline. Mothers tend to be too easy on their kids (generally not always). Not only this but parenting is a lot of work and requires more than 1 person. As a kid with divorced parents.. I felt ashamed that I was always that kid getting babysat by a neighbor, friends mom, cousin, whatever.. I was always getting dropped off for someone else to sigh over and take responsibility. Nothing wrong with having your kid babysat, but it's not a surrogate for parenting.
-Too many entrances.. Also even though this problem repeats, schools and teachers dont seem concerned with being more vigilant on those entrances. I deliver pizza part time while in college, and I've delivered to a highschool and walked right into the gym in the middle of the day easily. No ID swipe or security check in. I've also done this at a grade school delivering pizza literally a day after Sandy Hook.
-Too many unarmed teachers. I don't totally agree with this. Im not sure if I trust every teacher in a public school to be armed. A select few who volunteer for the position who display high personal merit perhaps some past duty in military or police force might be a good idea.
Most importantly - ** 'This is not about guns.' ... This is about us, as a culture and a nation. Who are we?"**
Before video games, kids played toy soldiers, cowboys and indians, cops and robbers. Also, no research supports this retarded hypothesis, and plenty supports the opposite.
Right, cause playing toy soldiers, cops and robbers, cowboys and indians etc depicts ultra violent scenes with bloodshed and general antisocial/criminal themes like Grand Theft Auto or something.. There's a reason those games have the "Mature" ESRB..
I guess Muslim terrorists mustn't pray enough to their god, right?
Terrorism has nothing to do with religion. Replace people in the war torn middle eastern regions with Christians, Communists, or Pastafarians and fringe members of those groups would probably also engage in terrorism.
Are you seriously saying that more unwanted children would result in more kids being raised appropriately?
Nope. Just saying people need to take personal responsibility for their actions. If you don't want a kid, have safe sex, use birth control, take the plan B pill.. Common sense.
Obviously this isn't going to happen since humans are imperfect, but abortion shouldn't be something that's encouraged as a solution either. Women who have multiple abortions due to careless sex and chasing hedonistic pleasures should be ashamed of themselves for ending a potential life just to get her rocks off. I find society's acceptance of this to be disgusting and wrong and a lot of other people do too.
Care to explain why there's almost no school shootings in other countries where no teacher whatsoever has weapons?
Because those countries have their culture together. America doesn't. Americans are failing their children and not raising them properly while the media corrupts their minds with nonsense. Just look around you. I see middle school girls dressed like street walkers and their mothers and fathers smoking cigarettes in front of them. I've seen mothers bring their children to a fucking party with booze to leave their kid with a friend and go in the closed off room to blow cocaine.
