What do you think of the school violence?

I agree with you. I think removing God from the public schools has made a big inpact on how kids are acting. I do think that some of it is becaues of tv influence too. Kids see what's going on in the news and I think it evokes something sometimes.

I agree that media attention does make it more prevalent in today's society, but I don't completely endorse the idea that it encourages more people to do the same. I believe that if someone is intent on doing something horrible like that, they are likely going to carry it out. The television coverage may not help, but it isn't the deciding factor. If I am playing a violent video game, and then I go reenact that game in a shopping mall, it honestly wasn't the games complete fault. I would say that there were some serious pshycological and social problems lurking in the background that were the root cause. I also think that we should have very very strict punishments for those who even attempt violent acts against schools or other public places, even though most offenders in this line of crime don't want to live past their victims to face justice. A point for sure! Thanks!
