Canadian Girl on a Stabbing spree at School

Hello, I know it has been awhile if there are any of you who may have read my blog before today. Hello to new readers!  I have not posted for awhile due to life circumstances.  I am going to begin posting again. I have been recovering from depression, which was triggered by routine change due to adjusting to life without school. Anyways, I just thought to give you a little information, which may have been too much. 

Today we are discussing school violence with the use of weapons.  School violence has been in the newspapers for years now ever since the Columbine Shooting. Yes, school violence is rare even for the United States and really rare from some other countries.  Side note, school violence is still rare in the United States because if it was common it would happen as much times as normal violent crime like assault and rape. 

Canadian girl went psycho with two kitchen knives and began slashing fellow students and individuals down the hallways at her school.  This girl was flat out running through the halls of her school and slashing people.  That must have been a terrible sight.  

However, you do not see the news sites making a really big deal about the incident.  I think the only way that they would make a big story about is if she was wielding a gun rather than knives.  They also just had another school incident in Canada where a shooting occurred last month killing four people. 

Once again this shows that people who want to harm others will find ways to harm people with whatever weapon they can find or the most convenient.  Honestly, I think the reason school violence has become a problem is due lack of discipline, lack of responsibility, and lack of family support. 

Many children are not being taught to take responsibility for their own actions.  They are being taught to blame the world for their actions, make excuses, and are expecting not be punished for their actions.  Furthermore, it is the parents and teachers responsibility to discipline children when needed and to teach them to take responsibility for their actions.  Lastly, parents also need to try harder to have themselves or other family members watch their children and to get their children help when they notice that their is abnormal behavior to reduce school violence. 

Guns are not the problems, but lack of socialization, responsibility, and discipline are the problems. 

  

Why are there more Mass Shootings?

So today I heard there was another school shooting and it happened in Roswell, New Mexico. CNN presented a graph indicating the rise in mass shootings.  Then they asked, why has there been this increase?  

For one there is one thing we can rule out and that is guns is the major player in the contribution.  There were less regulations in the past and there was less mass shooting and to some degree less of a problem.  Second, I think the problem are the signs that are posted outside of buildings, "This is a gun free school," "No firearms permitted."  These building managers and schools are setting themselves to be targeted by idiots who enjoy taking the lives of others.  Third, this society believes that the world can become perfect. Well, I hate to burst your bumble, this world is never going to be perfect and you need to get over it.  I always believe that you can improve the world, but there is always going to be that one person or a group of people that want to harm others.  

Fifth, but not the last...responsibility.  We live in a society where people do not take responsibility for their actions.  They blame disorders despite knowing what is wrong and right.  They blame people, the blame the government, they blame their family, and they just blame everything else but themselves.  

The world is never going to be perfect, but one thing is that we can prevent these killings by improving community programs, better education, and promote responsibility for your own destiny and actions.

However, there is still going to be that one jerk that wants to harm everyone else.   

France Passed the Law Dealing with the Armenian Genocide

Let me say this Turkey needs to own up to what they have done a century ago. However, my interpretation of this comes from my perspective. Here in America if we made it a crime to deny anything that the government wants us to accept it would be deemed unconstitutional. France is different then America and they do not have the same protections as we do. On the other hand, France did direct this legislation towards Turkey and now they are going to be hurt by the sanctions that are going to be put into place and the other sanctions that will come into play in the future. Turkey needs to acknowledge that what they did was wrong.


France passed a law making it a crime to deny the Armenian Genocide. If you do then you are to spend up to a year in jail and pay 45,000 fine. That figure I did not convert to Euros. That is more then getting caught drunk driving.

You know I knew that this was going to happen that they would pass the law. However, this goes against everything the French have stood for in recent years. They passed the Declaration of Human Rights in the UN. There they protect freedom of speech in the declaration. They are violating the rights of free speech by not allowing anyone that believes it did not happen. Some are never going to believe. Many people still think the Holocaust did not happen even though their are thousands of documents that prove it had happened. Example, President Ahmadinejad of Iran he does not believe it happened.

I do think that Turkey needs to stop denying it. However, I think that they choose to forget about it because they see it as a terrible time in history. They choose to forget, they just do not want to deal with it. I think it is partially because many of them were given the stolen goods of the Armenians when they were deported from their towns. I think they feel that the earlier generations of the whole society was responsible and they just do not want to deal with it.

I do think that they need to own up to it. On the other hand, France needs to stop thinking that they are better then everyone because they have plenty of history where they killed massive amounts of people. For instance, in the French Revolution, they executed many of the aristocrats. They also led a war against the Protestants and the Protestants led a war too. The Crusades were pretty bad to, they had their own jihad against people of the Islamic Faith.


France is not totally innocent nor is the United States. I am not a representative of the US and I am not arguing for the US. I am just an individual who thinks that France has got some nerve to place judgment and forgo the freedom of speech just so they can make a statement. By making this law you are likely going to inhibit recognition and you are going to make it bad for the Armenians again. You are not making it any easier on both sides of the issue.


Another thing, France where were you when the genocide happened? You had the opportunity to help the Armenians, but you chose to ignore it. You could have invaded the Ottoman Empire and helped the Armenians. You could have influenced trials to be held and make them stick when it came time to deal with Turkey after the end of the war. The only country that really tried to help was England. You could have helped, but you ignored it just like the United States did. You could have told Turkey that part of their defeat was that they will have to punish those that hurt the Armenians.


You did nothing before, why are you trying to now? Do you feel that you are responsible for the Genocide because you did nothing before?
