I agree with you that a bad homelife is the root problem with rage in people. I was just making the point that so many of similar type shootings are in the public school system and that is not suprising since alot of brainwwashing and anger happens there. Maybe this man had some problems with the school that he went to, so that and all of his other angers were focused on a school. Or perhaps that's not the case with this man and his darkside just picked a bunch of easy and innocent victims. I don't know, but since this was one of so many school shootings I think my point was valid. And I don't think they will ever stop unless the pressure and evolution-doubt teaching in public schools stops; or at least is balanced out with creationism theory. Don't you see that impressionable kids are looking for good examples from teachers that they may not have at home? And then they get some teachers who put forth a false theory that goes against their conscience? It's horrible and I believe underestimated in the damage it inflicts.

I don't think it has anything to do with any teaching going on in the classrooms.
Time after time the young angry kids turn out to be social loners who feel ignored at home and who feel they are made fun of at school. They play violent video games - they listen to Marilyn Manson and other suicidal hard rock music. They fantasize about killing the kids who make fun of them.They group together with likeminded disaffected kids.
In some cases (such as Columbine) they actually manage to fill their room with an arsenal of weapons without the the knowledge of clueless parents (would YOUR kid be able to collect guns/grenades, keep them in their room - and you never suspect a thing?)
Afterwards when the police go through their stuff they leave behind strange rantings against their classmates about society and obsessions with death.
I've never read about a shooter leaving behind rantings about not liking the class subject matter or about creation/evolution.
I do know the Columbine shooters despised God and shot one girl who said she believed in Him.

It isn't one thing we can point to...it is a bunch of sad circumstances that come together in the mind of an unbalanced kid.

But these recent shootings are noew...the shooters are older.They're done with school, and for some reason they return. The kids they are shooting have had nothing to do with their lives.
I doubt this has had anything to do with subject matter in the classroom either.
