Fort Hood Shooting, Army Major Goes Insane

[Blademaster]

Not quite sure how to respond to this. Considering Houndy stole my limelight of randomly throwing stupid shit around everywhere... I REALLY gotta work to outshine that. So... ahem...

"This is all Bush's fault."

*bows*

That is all. Play me off, keyboard cat.

Seriously Blade are you trying to piss someone off? All feelings for or against Bush aside even you've got to admit that it's not like he's the one to have put the gun in his hand. Saying that is like me saying it's Lincoln's fault that Booth shot him since the Union Army fought in the Civil War (despite the Confederates attacking first). That logic also applies to other things:

-Greedo shot first
-Columbine wasn't the fault of the two shooters
-It wasn't Bill's fault he cheated. His shrew of a wife should have been on her knees first
-Obama is a closeted socialist....oh wait......


Last comment aside I hope you get the point. Disagreeing with the war or the President is fine. After all if you live in America then that's your right. However as a solider you do not have the right of disobeying an order unless it's something so extremely far off the deep end that you'd be fucked for following it:

General-Private! Push the magic red button! Let's nuke London!
Private-Uh....why sir?
General-For the lulz!
Private-

All and all your better off comparing the Major in this case to Klebold and Harris from Columbine. The retribution is EXTREMELY disportionate to what happened to all three of these psychos. For all you know Blade this guy in the Army was extremely unhinged and looking for a reason for years. To pin it on Bush for the sole purpose of dragging out your hate or inciting a flame war is just dumb and childish ~_~()

No, the reason he does it is to get this kind of reaction. You're feeding him; if you're so annoyed by his comments stop replying to them.

I do agree with him, though; H_L has taken his limelight of posting the blatantly stupid comments. The only difference is I think she actually believed them in this case.

Now because I hate posting a completely-off-topic post, here are my feelings on it:

I think the stupidest thing people are doing now is assuming this is the work of a terrorist. Throwing blame to the shooter, the army, his friends, etc.…I'm not even sure which is the one to blame, but to call this a terrorist attack is just stupid.

Terrorists do just that: terrorize. Until I read this I had no idea there even WAS a Fort Hood, and so the blow of all the human lives claimed is softened by the fact that it's an unknown place to me. I'm sure that it scares the crap out of people who live down there, and I do feel very sympathetic towards all those directly affected, but to me it just makes me a slight bit more worried that it might happen up here as well.

However, the actual terrorist attack of 9/11 targeted a place well known throughout the country, as well as one with a giant population. It brought the whole country into a new meaning of fear, and one of Bush's best actions during his presidency was that he kept the whole country from breaking down and breaking apart under it. (Note that my wording keeps my position neutral on my opinion of Bush, and it will stay that way in this topic.)

So yeah, that's what I have to say on the whole thing.

Oh and excuse my snarkiness earlier, I've been feeling rather irritable with things and people as of late.
