[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cargile: [QB] Orion: Your post sounded immature, that's all. I don't mean that to be offensive. I was going to say something about what you said, but I voted against it because I thought: "What if he hasn't been around as long as me?" You are entitled to your outlook, but I think it will change in ten years, just as I suppose mine will change in ten years too. Since you are not older than me, then I won't lean too hard on you. But I'll try to answer youtr queries. What good does taking responcibilty do to those that have suffered? Well, for starters it sets an example. When enough examples are set, it sets a higher standard of respect for one another. "The guy may have killed twenty people, but at least he admits it." Lying is another form of causing injustice towards the people that suffer these actocities. By a person taking the due responcibility, they are stopping further, more personal injustices to the survivors and victims. They can't bring back the dead, but they can limit the amount of pain they cause and allow the survivors and victims to began the healing process. Those young men at Columbine took their lives and the answers to why they did what they did. By committing suicide they failed to take the responcibilty of their actions and left the survivors and the victims in more pain because that big "WHY" is still looming over them. There can't be any closure on that crime. And since its hard to point the finger at a dead body and expect them pay for the crime, society lashes out at external influecents. The NRA gets blames along with Marilyn Manroe. I commend Marilyn Manson for cancelling, or postponing, those concerts following the incident. It tells me that he cares and respects what happens to his listeners. In a way, he is offering to take some of the blame, even though he doesn't have to. I never though I would ever think the words but world needs more people like Marilyn Manson. (Somebody shoot me.) Respect and Responcibilty. Two words often ignored or hidden from. <small>[This message was edited by Cargile on May 27, 1999.]</small> [/QB][/QUOTE]
