Re: Another school shooting, in Texas this time.
I'm totally anti gun ownership, although that POV is futile in the US. But what we see is a different kind of madness. It's a disintegration of society. A lot of kids, not just in the US but here too, have no purpose in life and see no future.
They say the perpetrator is "a quiet, sweet boy" who is confused and only shot those he didn't like. Whatever produces someone like that is a forked up society IMO.
When I went to Texas in the 80s for the wedding of a frat boy from Texas uni, we did a tour of the campus and his digs before the big day and they pointed out the tower where decades earlier there was a massacre from the tower. Apparently the killer had a brain tumour. The Texan culture and gun slinging go together.
I've always thought the US has a strange culture altogether. In a large geographical region, on the outside everyone is polite and tries to be really nice to everyone else. Inside all the grudges fester. It's surely not healthy. This combined with an obsession with money, status being dependent on wealth and a school system obsessed with popularity of some. Perhaps it's just me who thinks this is something to do with random kids wanting to go on killing sprees.
There are a lot of privately owned guns in Switzerland because of the Swiss Army, do they also have killing sprees? I have a friend who lived & worked there and he said they are more likely to use them to commit suicide.
The World is mad IMO these days, perhaps it always was.
