Let me start of by saying this: All I think anyone should do regarding this horrid incident is this: mourn the lost lives and be thankful for those lives around you that make you happy

I cant help it sets. I mean mabey if u had been born in canadia then you wouldn't have to pretend not to be ashames And mabey if you wern't alwasy repressing me becasue I was black then mabey I woulnd't have to call you a racists. Its horrible but realy.....you did this to your self ^_^
Ah geez, you're completely right boss, this is not the time to be bringing up racial politics. I apologize. Although I don't necessarily disagree with everything in the article, it really is insensitive of me to be re-posting things like this when there're families and friends out there whose lives have been so affected by this tragedy..
I should know that if anything, there are people like you who completely offset overly-generalizing articles like that. Ah I'll just stop there, sorry. =/
Hey, sweetie, sorry if I came off angry. None of this was directed towards you, it was a combination of a bunch of junk and postings that went down today.
You're actually one of the most sensitive and caring people I know. And I can understand your frustrations since there are many people who stereotype both your culture and living preferences and make you feel bad about them, which is obviously not right.
I just want to clarify that my objections were just to some of the stereotyping in the article, not the author's concerns over how South Koreans, or Asians in general will have to deal with backlash, because we both know that they will because of whites who do fit the stereotypes of being are ignorant, racist and cruel.
I'm just kind of frustrated at life in general and it's not your fault at all, so I really do apologize if I offended you or bugged you.
The day this happened, I thought to myself "people are going to leap all over this to push their agenda forward", and look what happened. Hell, one of our Romanian liasons is visiting this month, and she talked about how something like this would never happen in Romania, because of all the security measures that are required for doing anything outside, like getting a doctor's exam to ensure you will not have an epileptic seizure at the wheel.
This was a meaningless act, much like a terrorist blowing up a mass transit station. In essence, those 33 people might as well have died in a bus crash or a flood. There was nothing we could have done to prevent this from happening, and he would have found a way to get some guns if he couldn't buy them legally. Probably the only way to make sure something like this never happens again is to post armed guards, CCTV cameras, and public address loudspeakers on every building. And that, my friends, is what we call a prison.

A person made a decision, thought about it, planned it out, and the puzzles peices fell where they did.
It could have happened at any college, any school, any business, any place.
I'm just happy that my friends are with me and well and safe.
No figure pointing.
