The fact of the matter is that all immigrants, actually kids in general are made fun of at some point in their life. Student life, peer pressure is tough EVERYWHERE, not only America. He could have made the effort to make friends, but if he chose to be meek, than that was HIS choice. Yes, I feel bad for the depressed who feel like their only way out is to kill themselves, but that does NOT justify killing others. With these videos and pics, which IMO should not be aired any longer, he felt that he would be immortal, but people instead now people who thought of him as a victim, view him as a cold-blooded murderer.
Exactly! That's why I said "Lets face it, it is Virginia" :PQuote:
First of all, gun laws in Virginia are some of the most lenient laws in the nation.
Ppl who are that depressed, are like u said meek and have some wierd issues of their own.Quote:

If anyone has any shade of anything normal in them, they can still fit in some crowd or the other.
but it's not always lack of acceptance which pushes ppl to this level.
Eric and Dylan (Columbine Duo) were very popular, had a huge circle of friends, and were also good students in school. The idea that they were Social Outcasts is a Complete MYTH! I know because I chose to do a report on them when I was a Sophmore in High School.
So Lack of Acceptance in School or anything doesn't push a person far enough to kill.
If they kill, then they still would even if they were accepted.
Nakeeran & Selva,

War is war and politics will always be politics. Where this is considered, the harsh reality is that people are expected to suffer and die. Are you saying that because we Americans (as in Bush :roll:) started a war, we deserve these kinda of massacres and that no one should make a big deal about them?
Just forget the fact that this is America though and think of it just violence. This can happen anywhere. There are a countless number of depressed people world-wide, but the reason that this is a big deal is that in a nation considered as "safe" as America, people don't expect these things to happen on such a big scale.
In fact, news like this again points out how dignified countries like India are, because people value education and don't go on shooting rampages within institutions. Even my teachers and I were saying, how it was unbelievable that it was an Asian kid since things like the do not happen in Asia for the most part.
Don't forget, there are Indians in America too. People like Professor Logananthan and the other desi girl are impacted by this and they deserve to be recognized.
