RE teacher Gary Smith's Muslim attackers jailed

BillChaffey · May 26, 2011

This question has nothing to do with schools, public or private. Muslims, guns, gangsters, or hoodlums.

At the bottom of the opening page Messrs Turtle & OVM are left off the moderator list. Why?

Violence is violence. It often makes no sense. This one did not. NO law can eliminate violence.

It just morphed around and has always returned.

Sue, your thoughts are inline with rational people, but those from the lib left will tell you that out lawing guns will lower violent crime...and even in the US where we now have more guns in the hands of more people that at any other time, thats just not true...the opposite is true... the more guns that are in the hands of people in given area the lower the crime rate....

Wow I'm rational .... I think I better quit while I'm ahead

Totally agree.

I watched a documentary recently and one line that a Detective said I thought was very true .....

When I was a kid we would duke it out, now they draw knives or guns.

As I have said on many occasions, there used to be guns in schools all the time. My dad used to hunt to school and on his way home, many did. They had fights, many guns in school lockers. They were never used, only fists were.

Life means nothing these days.

They could eliminate violence if they would teach hunkering.

Hunkering is good. Young boys are taught to hunker by their dads. There all that is known is pasted on to the next generation.

Putting aside it being off topic, that's not really an appropriate question for the public forums. Perhaps you should PM Dreamer to find out how he decides how and which forums are assigned to moderators, especially brand new moderators.
