A lot of Singaporeans ostensibly could be responding with no comments or generally be annoyed by the questions (such is their culture). I think there was an Economist editorial from someone who had lived in Singapore for many years questioning the veracity of the survey. But I don't want to derail too far to Singapore. This was yet another terrible, terrible tragedy this year, and it's just so shocking that firefighters, of all people, were apparently targeted  man... | ||

Adding additional expenses to cover to personal rehabilitation of every criminal in the US system as they do in, say, Norway, would be unrealistically expensive. Wouldn't it? I know nothing on this subject really, so maybe it's actually the case that the fancy sort of rehab they advocate for in certain EU countries such as Norway is not actually as fancy as it appears, and actually costs far less to sustain. I'd like to know more about this, if anyone happens to know... | ||

I don't want to argue about gun laws (and can't now), because that's not the point of what happened today. What happened today was a tragedy of human lives being needlessly thrown away by a man no longer capable of reasonable human thought. This was not a ploy for attention. The asshole shot himself after he'd done the deed. You don't do something for attention just to kill yourself (not unless you're a terrorist and you're actually delivering a message with it). Also, I don't think the media blew it out of proportion. In a large country it made top news headlines, yes, and it most likely was not the ABSOLUTE worst thing to happen in America today. However, it needed to be mentioned that 'hey, even people who are trying to protect the public are no longer safe from psychos'. It becomes out of proportion if it's top news for the next week as well. And for us here in Webster, it's going to be news for a while, because we lost two respected members. It's going to take time for the entire town to cope, and while some people may just disregard this story, respect should be paid because it's not just the two brave men who died, but it's also about the family, friends, and community that now has to pick up the pieces. Thank you for all your kind words in this thread, and thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts on this. | ||

Bludgeon an elderly woman with a hammer, live to see the light of day? Really? I don't believe in reforming the antisocial and the deranged, I never have and I never will. Each one of us only gets one chance, and so should they. | ||
