I still don't get it. Just does nothing for me. I'm not into "teen" porn either. Or mayonnaise. But they are both at the top of popularity lists in their respective categories.

What category is mayonnaise in? Condiments. It was a reach, but it works. What's amazing is just how different the top condiments in the world are compared to what we use in the US. You'd think with 360+ million people we'd affect the volume used in a noticeable way, but not really.

When you think of condiments you think of Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Tabasco, BBQ sauce... None of those get to the volume though of nuoc cham, Gochujang, Banana Sauce/Ketchup, Harissa, Chutney, Ajvar, HP (brown sauce), Hoisen, and more... It just amazes me how separate the US is in terms of "normal" cuisine.

I looked it up, you wonder why a Korean condimentis not more popular than condiments in the US? While the red chile powder is common, you seriously wonder why Americans aren't rushing to have dried fermented soy bean with their burgers?

Cheaper than ketchup and 100x better. The problem is uptight fuckwads like OD/Cyber who hear "fermented" in any ingredient and run the other way.

I still don't get it. Just does nothing for me. I could be wrong but I think it has to do with having a "clean" woman, so to speak. At least for all the religious nitwits. Me? I'm with you. I want a mature, full figured woman that knows what she's doing. I don't need that teeth-scraping-on-the dick-blowjob you get when you and the gal are 15 or 16 again anytime soon.

This one happened about a mile from my job. One of my closest co workers has 3 kids that go to that school. They were all OK. We have lots of people in the building that live in the area and send their kids to that school. There is a good possibility that someone in this building lost a kid, but we haven't heard nothing yet. Half the parking lot is empty.
They closed all the roads around here yesterday; traffic was a mess for hours. Even this morning there is a heavy police presence around the area.

My college roommate had cousins at Columbine, they were not killed. It is a different perspective when it hits that close to home. As obligated by this forum, there will ample opportunity to criticize the media reaction to this, including the now tweeted and pumped up number of "18 School Shootings" in 2018 already. It's shameful that no amount of tragedy will pass without the media and others marshaling their political lines. Lastly, had a teacher friend send me a text last night. He gets worked up about this, however, he says teachers are handcuffed. He can't do anything to intervene and discipline bullying or other classroom dysfunction because even if 99% of parents appreciate the effort it only takes the 1% to ruin careers and schools.

Just out of curiosity can you explain how the number is pumped up? I did a brief search last night and they all seemed legitimate.
Granted they lumped some "bringing a gun to school and getting arrested after making threats" with people actually shooting kids. But I think it's just do "normal" now that shit like that goes largely unreported in the national media.
I don't have any answers for this shit, but it's pretty crazy. I was 10 when columbine happened and it's been damn near 20 years of sustained violence in schools.

I'm just tired of people acting like "gun control" is going to stop a damn thing from happening.
The issue is not the gun, the gun is just the method used and it is one of the more inefficient methods. The issue and cause is mental health.
We need to address the cause rather than the method. And I have no idea how to address the cause without trampling all over civil liberties.
Right now if someone accuses you of sexual misconduct, you are "automatically guilty".
What happens when that lens is turned to mental health? We'll start believing everyone is "crazy".

At least you provided an alternative, as far as trying to figure this problem out I find a lot of gun people who speak up about this just stop at "guns aren't the problem" because they don't want it to affect their own personal situation in any way. And politicians who come out against gun control are just doing so to pander to those people. But they never offer an idea on what CAN be done about this. Nor are the people calling for more gun control. Because they're just lumping all the responsibility on to that, as if there's nothing else at play

How do we stop crazy people from killing people? We can't. How do you stop drive by shootings in inner cities? How do you stop a man from killing his wife? How do you stop suicides?
Armed guards at schools and metal detectors/physical searches would help lower these incidents, but I doubt they stop them all together. Do we ever see shooting sprees at NFL, MLB or NBA games? They have stricter security to get in that 20 years ago and I can't recall any mass shooting there.
Parents also probably need to have much closer monitoring of social media accounts of kids. But that's a fine balance as social media allows kids freedom of expression with other kids. I'm a total failure in that areas as I know the kids are doing snapchat and shit I will never see or look at. If a kid is struggling, getting in trouble, etc, there social media actions might reflect upcoming behavior.

I was 10 when columbine happened and it's been damn near 20 years of sustained violence in schools. Headlines say things like "18 School Shootings in 2018". I think it is fair to say that what we consider "School Shooting," is what happened yesterday (even with fewer victims and injuries). The "18 School Shootings" is a number that includes things like a suicide in the parking lot by a teacher, a fight in the parking lot that resulted in a shooting, an accidental discharge, shots fired into the air after fight. These are not what the article is implying. 1 is too many, "18 School Shootings" is a headline designed to illicit a specific response by the reader, likely a reader that won't do any follow up or even read the actual article. I had a specific response, that was "HOLY SHIT." Then I read a little more, still with the thought that '1' is too many of course, but I don't think we count suicides that happen in a school parking involving the adult exactly the same as we consider what happened yesterday.

Parents and our society as a whole is producing more half-empty souls. There are not easy answers, and yes some form of gun control or even gun awareness and education are likely a small part of the solution. My wife is from Mexico. Kidnappings for ransom there are serious concerns in many areas. Our security level at schools as compared to schools she is familiar with is not even close.
I'm in Minnesota, we have meetings here about how insensitive it is to have police in the schools (generally interacting and creating positive relationships with students). St. Paul schools recently had to face votes (no i do not know the end result as of this writing) about reducing or eliminating police officers and uniformed police presence in schools. Forgive me if I put some blame on the glorification of BLM.
Police presence, done correctly actually increases protection, and creates positive relationships with young people. I've been in schools as a coach and have seen this happen (dated back to 1998ish). There is a segment of our population that has been so brainwashed about guns that they don't even want police to have them. Hey, police officers aren't going to stop all school shootings, there have been officers at some of these I believe. Generally when people shoot back these things end.

I agree Jim, sorry for jumping the gun a little there. I mistook the tone of your post for a conspiracy theory type angle.
I have read all the "he was mentally ill" shit this morning. One thing that needs to be done is better parenting/life teaching in school. And I mean like real personal life type of shit. How to handle rejection, how to pick up social cues, etc.
I go back to the audio of that kid from USC or UCLA (can't remember) that killed those girls. Elliot or something. But he was just an entitled little whiney ass kid with the emotional maturity of a 6 year old and didn't understand why everyone else didn't think he was the absolute bee's knees in life. I know that each case is specific, but it seems like these kids all have that in common. They have zero social ability and it just festers.
Never thought we'd wish we could go back to the 70s and the fucked up ones killing people on the fringes of society and doing it quietly.

I like the awareness so that people can try to look for warning signs (and we'd hope they act on them). However, we over do it. Rolling Stone cover on one of the Boston Bombers is.. I was going to write 'is as embarrassing as it gets' but I can't even really write that because I'm probably forgetting some other glorification of a killer. In a sick way, people are seeking this to fill the emptiness they have, and in general, the media obliges them.

You can never stop them all, but if they were somehow able to to stop even one, for example THIS one, there would be 17 less funerals being planed today by devastated families You have to keep trying to find solutions to horrible shit like this

Police presence, done correctly actually increases protection, and creates positive relationships with young people. This is what we've been fucking up for the last 10+ years. This new generation of cop have seemingly forgot they are supposed to be part of the community and instead are going full blown us vs them mentality. Maybe its from them coming up with a very different portrayal of cops on TV, maybe they are just populated by the rubber band effect of society's move toward's "everyone a winner".

Here is one answer and it can be easily introduced. However, it will take liberals to STFU with this "gun free zone" bullshit and understand that the way to defend schools is NOT the take away measures of defense from those on the campus. Some schools in some shitty states like NY and California won't have any teachers volunteer and in those circumstances, they can seek community volunteers or pay for a service. I don't see a downside. amarillo.com/news/latest-news/2016-02-20/defender-program-arms-highland-park-teachersDefender program arms Highland Park teachers District offers guns, training to protect its schools
A future U.S. president may very well be sitting — or napping — in a Highland Park Independent School District classroom, but Superintendent Buddy Freeman hopes a new safety program will provide a “presidential” level of security for all of the district’s students. Highland Park’s new Defender program, approved by the district’s board of trustees in October, allows certain employees to access handguns on campus and use them in emergency situations, such as active shooter incidents, while awaiting a law enforcement response. “Every member of the Secret Service would do anything within their power, including giving their life, to save the life of the president,” Freeman said. “Every staff member we have here at Highland Park would do anything within their power, include giving their life, to save the lives of our students. “So why not give them the tools to help them better defend themselves and defend our students?” Faculty, staff or administrators who wish to take part in the volunteer program must first be licensed to carry a handgun in Texas. The employee also must be authorized by the school board and complete three days of intensive shooting training conducted by a consulting firm. Additional training in crisis intervention and management of hostage situations is also provided. Once training is completed and the board signs off, the employee is given a district-owned gun and special low-penetration bullets designed to minimize any potential for collateral damage. Bright red signs recently posted at entrances to district buildings warn entrants of the changes: “Highland Park ISD Board of Trustees has adopted the policies that allow certain employees to carry concealed weapons on school property for the protection of our students and staff.” Freeman would not say if there are any authorized defenders currently at the district and also declined to say how many of the district’s 144 employees might join the program. To Freeman, arming employees is necessary to provide safety for the district’s three schools that sit isolated on the edge of town at 15300 E. Amarillo Blvd., just east of Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport and many miles from most law enforcement agencies. “If we called 911 for police protection and they were here in five minutes, that would be considered an excellent response time,” Freeman said. “But in reality, if you have an active shooter situation, it’s probably going to be over before they get here.” Freeman brought up the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. as an example. The shooting, in which 20 children and six adults were killed, lasted about five minutes. Further outlining his rationale for the program, Freeman pointed out the school district’s close proximity to Potter County jail. Less than one mile separates the district’s schools from the correctional facility. On at least one occasion, Freeman said, a released inmate has wandered over to the school. The nearby Pantex Plant, which assembles, dismantles and modifies nuclear weapons, is also a point of concern. While not without a few detractors, the decision to arm school employees appears to be popular with parents and teachers. “We’re out here, distanced from town, and so this is a good measure for protecting our staff and students,” said Brandy Mounts, a Highland Park counselor whose daughter is a second-grader at the elementary school. There has been an outpouring of local support on social media, and even some backing from people outside the community. “I am a teacher in a school district in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) area,” wrote a Facebook commenter. “Totally support this and hope it spreads like wildfire.” But there was one thing on the minds of most everyone who was asked about the program: What if a student was able to access a firearm? To keep guns from getting into the wrong hands, Freeman said, the district requires designated defenders to store weapons in biometric gun vaults that are accessible only by fingerprint identification. “My biggest fear was a student gaining access to a school weapon,” Freeman said. “The use of gun vaults will prevent that from ever happening.” The Highland Park program, while unique in Amarillo, is certainly not new to Texas. At least 110 of the state’s 1,024 school districts have a policy that allows employees to have guns while on campus, according to numbers provided by Texas Association of School Boards. In 2007, Harrold ISD, near Vernon in Wilbarger County, became the first after implementing a “Guardian Plan,” permitting teachers to concealed carry on campus. The controversial plan came after a deadly shooting rampage at Virginia Tech that same year. Many more schools came up with emergency plans that involved arming employees following the devastating Sandy Hook shooting five years later. In 2013, Texas lawmakers passed the Protection of Texas Children Act, which gives districts the option of appointing “school marshals” — employees that are authorized to carry guns. Appointees, after completing police-style training, are granted the authority of a peace officer to make arrests. Freeman said Highland Park opted to put together its own program because the act restricts the number of marshals to one for every 400 students. The district, which has 865 students, would be limited to two marshals. And this is not the first time Freeman has developed a customized emergency plan. He instituted a similar safety program while superintendent at Quanah ISD, about 50 miles from Harrold ISD. Freeman was Quanah ISD superintendent from 2010 to 2014. Freeman said the district never had to utilize the safety measure during his time at Quanah, and prays the same will be true at Highland Park. “If you do some research on how many active shootings there are in this country, you’ll find there are about one a month,” Freeman said. “The odds are we’ll never have one here, but if we do, we want to be better prepared.” Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation
