Virginia Tech shooter was getting some professional help. Some also blamed the prescribed medicine he was taking. 

One of the reasons why nra is so strong is that Americans love guns. 

This is a cultural problem I believe. I am not sure banning guns, getting psychiatric help will prevent such attacks tbh.

Regarding creating a cultural shift about guns, you can make ad campaigns, add it to curricula and spread awareness in any way possible but it would all be a drop in the ocean unless the way Hollywood portrays gun violence is changed.

 

The problem is this mass shooting only happen in USA even though , Hollywood movie is watched all over the world. I even can say in everywhere average people watch more Hollywood movie than any other movie movie. So I don't think Hollywood is the problem.

I understand the need to protect yourself in term of handgun and maybe shotgun but why do you need a rifle

Only a few of the madmen are registered in hospitals.
One day at Westbourne Grove I hear a bang noise.
I go to the window and it was a Rolls (!) car taking aim at shop windows.
First shop window bang, second bang, third bang.
Then he stopped and the police came and picked him up.
It was 7 o' clock in the morning so all those shops were closed and nobody was hurt.
Later in the day I asked around what happened and the neighbours said "it was someone with psychological problems".

I don't understand this whole Spain thing. 

What is going to happen? 

WANT to sound like you understand Catalan independence but can’t be arsed to find out about it?

Just follow this simple guide:

If Catalonia comes up in conversation, gravely say, “It’s sad, very sad.” Your concern will suggest a deep understanding of the situation even if you previously thought Catalonia was a planet in Battlestar Galactica.

Do not say, “I used to love Catatonia. What’s Cerys Matthews up to these days? She was fit.”

Learn one actual fact, such as the Spanish prime minister’s name, and use it in vague, pointless statements like, “Where does this leave Mariano Rajoy now, that’s what I’m wondering?”

Keep the Wikipedia page open so you can sound knowledgeable in conversations, but don’t make it too obvious e.g. “Catalonia? You mean the autonomous Iberian Peninsula community with a GDP of £191 billion?”

Just make stuff up. Most Britons didn’t even pay attention to Brexit so there’s a good chance no one will call you out on nonsense like “I just hope this isn’t the flashpoint for World War 3!”

Invent a Catalan friend to ‘quote’. You will be able to spout any rubbish and people will think it is authentic insider knowledge. Just don’t give them an obviously made-up name like ‘Pedro Franco from San Miguel’

Barca was hard done with in the year's of the Franco regime.
Do you know that Di Stefano was captured at midflight and taken to Real Madrid's offices ?
Then when Ferenc Pushkas asked for asylum, the generalissimo asked him to become a Real player ?
The loss of the 1961 champions league under strange circumstances made matters worse.
They 'll never get along.

Saudi Arabia is holding our PM hostage (as in literally, not politically)! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Saw that Choulo - how have you managed to upset them ?  :D when every other country sucks up to them, ( like Macron over there now).

Meanwhile they have slaughtered and created the Worlds biggest famine in Yemen....

If it weren't real, it would be hilarious. Actually, it's funny either way! :lol:

The rumors are that macron is there to try and get them to release Hariri (our PM).

But the thing is, Hariri is a Saudi citizen (dual national) and was already mostly their puppet. He is the leader of the biggest Sunni party in Lebanon, but apparently he hasn't been extreme enough for their taste (who is??!) and has tried to distance his party too much from religious fanatics, so they took him hostage, forced him to announce his resignation and were trying to replace him with his brother who they think they can push further to the extreme. Basically, they want someone who is willing to take the country into civil war if they ask him to and Hariri was not.

They actually think they can just sack our PM and replace him with his brother. I mean our democracy is flawed, but come on! This isn't the middle ages.....or 21st century Saudi Arabia! :lol:

Yet the noises we're hearing in the corporate media, (owners of whom obviously represent the people most to benefit from Saudi 'deals' <_<)is that the House of Saud want's to modernise and not be such a radical 'kingdom' - that obviously doesn't apply to it's stooges....

Facebook selling peoples details - Lol it's called 'Life Invader' in GTA V for a reason.

I've always wondered why I sometimes get an e-mail that somebody tried to reset my password on facebook. Luckily I have 2-step verification so they get no luck. Happened to anybody else? It happens like once a month. However once somebody from Malaysian IP logged into my instagram which is connected to facebook and I don't have any extra security there. Very much doubt my computer is compromised, I pay great attention to security, so this has got me suspicious.

Things will only get worse. Just wait when biotech companies get all personal data.
