Does a mouse know he is being programmed while running through the maze? So you believe the Warren Commission told the truth when they provided the magic bullet theory as an explanation of how Oswald acted alone?

Yes. Oswald acted alone. There was no conspiracy. Learn to live with it.

Having visited the book repository in Dallas, I think it's perfectly within reason that one person who was skilled with a gun could pull it off. However, I have my own theories. There was one person who was very obssessed with both Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe and it stands to reason that, being in love with both, that person was both jealous and enraged by JFK's supposed affair...Andy Warhol did it.

As opposed to Bush who has done a better job of covering up the fact that he lied about WMDs in Iraq because that lie didn't leave a stain on anyone's dress.

According to George Tenet himself (who is trying to undermine the president since he was fired), all the intelligence he provided to the president said there was plenty of WMD. Also "lying" and committing perjury are two very different things,

What if he made a map shaped like a nude woman. Then he'd be really screwed.
There actually are Unreal Tournament maps where you battle on a giant(big, not fat) naked woman. The nipples also work as trampolines to shoot you into the air...

Going to an alternative school means he was expelled from his prior school...
and not just the next school district over either. Alternative schools are regional and filled exclusively with people who've been booted from their original location. Most of those students will have a criminal record with real crimes as opposed to thought crimes on it. The academics will probably be exclusively at the remedial level since generally good students don't get expelled. Assuming this kid is an average or better student (reasonable since a stupid person probably wouldn't be able to use the map editor) he'll be either bored out of his mind or doing an all day independent study and almost completely isolated from the other inmates in his school

Did you ever stop to consider that maybe this kid was a problem to begin with and this just made the school fear that he was going to act?

Is this a common thing? Btw, did you know that in the UK 90% the police officers are not carrying weapons? I don't know the statistics, but I heard there is less casualties. -- modified at 10:54 Friday 4th May, 2007

Police busting in on suspicion of drugs? It's not uncommon. The local cops here pretty near blew up one of my landlord's other properties about a year ago; threw in a bunch of those little rubber grenades (can't remember what they're called, they throw out a bunch of little rubber balls), blew out the windows, ruined the carpets, walls, etc. AFAIK, no drugs were found, nor were the tenants even home... It's pretty much ridiculous.

Only because of the general level of paranoia. Back in the day, we made Doom / C&C maps of everything.

How did I avoid it? I told you that I believed was a perfectly reasonable theory. Since I have no reason to disbelieve it, then I suppose I believe it. It's just not something I devote much thought to (which contradicts your theory that it's somehow all-encompasing) or care all that much about. But if you're so adamantly against the magic bullet theory, you should visit the book repository and see what a clear shot Oswald actually had.

Or it could just mean that I'm not so completely self-diluted with my religious beliefs (in your case, atheism) that I'll turn a blind eye to the fact that the revised separation of church and state clause arose in the 1960s, which was when these nihilistic school shootings began. If you look at the various cases, you'll notice that the common thread among them is nihilism and a resentment of others without any regard. Those two things are perfectly logical conclusions derived from atheism.

That's the biggest steaming pile of BS I've ever seen you post on here. You're claiming that school shootings are correlated with the rise of athiesm (which, in itself is total crap). Regardless, now you have to explain why young high-school students who shoot people are different than other mass murderers and furthermore, not all high-school shooters have been athiests. Seeing as you are making this ridiculous claim, you apparently have "data" to back it up as well, I mean, you do speak of a correlation, right? Well I have a correlation too. I can't help but notice that the first moon landings occurred in the 1960's, so clearly, according to your "logic", the separation of church and state also got us to the moon. But I have a different idea - I can't help but notice that school shootings started in 1966 and the first moon landing was in 1969. Since that time, we have witnessed more school shootings and more moon landings - I can't help but notice a common thread there. School shootings got us to the moon and the moon landings made for more school shootings. But that makes sense because according to you athiesm creates mass murderers since 1960 even though mass murderers have existed prior to 1960 and not all mass murderers or high-school shooters have been athiests. Wow.

To quote from one of the responses to the local newspaer editorial (lined to by the article you linked): "We put our administrators in a “no win” situation. Take pre-emptive action and you are over-reacting and stomping on individual’s rights. Take no action and something tragic happens and you will be crucified for not taking prudent precautions. Welcome to the world we now live in." Given that this happend only a few days after the VT shootings, it is understandable prudence.

Well, they took the job and all that it entails including criticism from the people who pay their salary for their actions. It was still a very stupid decision in my opinion.

I just hope he gets his hammer back; he is going to need it to defend himself in the alternative education system.

It's not purely correlation, but the stated motives of the shooters as well. And atheism's influence in public schools has most certainly risen dramatically in the US since the 1960s when separation of church and state was defined.
