I have a ton of sympathy and feel bad for the kids, but NOT the years of shit talking on this board about how bad American gun culture is and how Europeans or Finns don't have problems like this due to their gifted intellect.
Yes but even so take a second and it also isn't a comparative scale. It sounds like 'Ha, ha your kids are dead too!'. I am sure that isn't how you mean it.
I guess I meant when I see kids being killed I see kids being killed regardless of the number at the time. Then maybe later I will consider how often things happen in various locations but at the time it is happening it is tragic..period.
It is the same way I feel when there is a big school shooting in the States and the media over here goes big time on it to the point where it feels (to me) like they are actually pretending to care as an excuse to guake.

You're also falling into the trap there Sarah that most Americans still living in the US do (I know you live in the UK now which was the point - not something you'd normally forget)...ie forgetting Europe is not even close to being a country. There are still some very dangerous, shitty places in Europe. Gotta admit that Finland never struck me as one of them though.
Poiint is you can't try to compare Europe and the US from either side of the fence. But then you are also debating with an idiot who finds gloating in a thread announcing kids are killed somehow the right thing to do.
you, having been to HighSchool in the past decade, i can understand why kids do these kinds of things, the only thing i find sad, aside from the obvious is that administrators havent smarted up enough to see this kind of stuff happening, and correcting the shit kids to do each other, they are so scared of the parents jumping their shit that they do nothing, in exchange the parents that dont think administrators should teach their children right from wrong end up with dead kids. ;( thats whats sad.
"On a per-capita basis, Yemen had the second most heavily armed citizenry behind the United States, with 61 guns per 100 people, followed by Finland with 56" :/
