But Reppin is a little young to know the historical Detroit context that I grew up in. The Detroit I saw in the 70's and 80's was much more depressing than the careless improvidence of weak criminal minds that lurk there today.

I'm in college and am trying to build on my life. If you think Death is your best friend you've got some issues, I don't care where you're from. And you're surprised that people are freaked out from some psycho going on a 33 person kiling rampage at university? I live in a dorm room and if at 715 some psychopath started opening up on people with a handgun I would be freaked out. I don't care if you're from the hood, the suburbs, Africa, China, The Moon, that is F*cked up.</div>I realize that you're facing your mortality through a television/computer screen, but calm down. Breathe. I actually agree with you, it don't matter where I'm from. This whole planet has been inundated with unnecessary violence and strange tragedy since the time of man began. To put it simply, you're going do die. You don't know when, you don't know how. Keeping that in mind in your daily affairs will give you some sobriety that you are currently lacking. And it'll help you keep your head if somebody in your dorm does decide to go mass murderer.

You keep saying dying is inevitable and you can't control it so that means if I see a kid that is 20 years old who gets killed for some meaningless crime I shouldn't be angry and upset and just go oh, everyone has to die, no shame in dying that way. That sucks, these kids were getting an education to do something with their life and now they're dead from some idiot coward. I feel sorry for you, you sound like some depressed goth.

<span style="font-family:Century Gothic">I'm still in shock. I got a text message from my friend; he was sick and skipped school today. He told me 21 people have been announced dead at Virginia Tech, so I told a bunch of kids at my school, but because I'm always sarcastic, everyone thought I was just messing around. I bet all the people I told, including my AP US History teacher, feel stupid now.By the way, there's nothing chilling about that video that playaofthegame posted. austingriz, your avatar is more chilling than that video.</span>

I believe this thread was about the tragedy today. Not Detroit being the dirty or bad ass or ghetto or whatever the hell you guys are talking about.

It seems like it's not really about them but about you. I mean, it's all types of daily atrocities you're missing out on.

And save your pity - it's obvious you don't have it to waste on me.Stop and think. You can't even control your attitude. What happens that isn't God's will?

You might say that this topic is dead serious.Bad puns aside, your suggestion that I won't feel pain at the death and sexual torture of my family is somewhat incongruous to our discussion. I know my family. I've lived with and struggled with and been raised by them. It's not quite the same as flying off the handle because of an internet/cnn grief over a tragedy that echoes folks that happen to be college students. I'll still answer your question though. Since I already know that I'm somewhat helpless whatever happens to my family, I'll have two options if your scenario plays out. Revenge or forgiveness. And if I'm in the midst of a dangerous situation, my mind would be focused on survival before those options. I wouldn't waste my time indulging in much else if it came to that.

As usuall when things like this happens, everyone becomes an expert at judging peoples actions. Two kids got shot at UW-Milwaukee a couple years back and they didn't shut down the campus. Police thought it was an isolated incident, saying there should have been military/police takeover of the campus is the stupidest thing I've ever heard (well probably the stupidest thing you've posted in the last few hours on BBW).

Why are you even involved?What is about me that makes you so pissy, anyway? None of your disgusting, ignorant comments or criticisms has ever even touched me.
I don't see what your annoying philosophical babble has to do with me making an on-topic point against Mardy.
They say the gunman shot off 80-100 shots in the time that he was on the campus.They say he's from South Korea, 23 yr old senior male.And they found the receipt of the gun in his backpack.
