Thread Name: BS: Help me! Columbine Thread
Subject: RE: BS: Help me! Colunbine Thread
Personally, I think it's horrible that people are always trying to capitalise on other people's pain and suffering. It's really rather tasteless. I've grown up in a time when violence is splashed across all media, and I don't feel desensitized. However, I don't need to SEE the stuff that happened at Columbine to be horrified. I will never understand why people have to SEE things to feel what I feel just HEARING about it. There is no earthly reason that I can see to SELL other people's pain--that in and of itself speaks of desensitisation. How can people reconcile that with the idea of spreading and increasing sensitivity?

Peace--Keli
