oops sorry, haven't really been updating on what's happening in my life. basically nothing much. came back from the barber's with a super weird hairstyle that i can neither tie up nor let down. ):

was researching on gun violence and how people think about it for stupid la journal (the third time i'm doing one on violence). came across real wacky comments. (edited a lil lah.)

"Another reaction I noticed was that 'the gunman was Asian - he must be a Muslim terrorist' !! Just how brainwshed have you americans become ? There are millions of Asians who are not Muslims and certainly not terrorists. Equally there are millions of White (or any other colour for that matter) who are Muslims. You appear to have been brainwashed into finding anyone who is not 'American' in outlook as being bad and out to get you.

Its appalling that one of the solutions put forward after this killing spree is that EVERY citizen should be armed. Then what? - someone acts suspiciously by (say) reaching into his pocket, so he is immediately gunned down by 'brave citizens'. Then you discover he was reaching for his mobile phone. Being suspicious of everyone around you and willing to shoot them or be shot really is the way to boost your already galloping paranoia"

"Hey US wake up you seem naive and fast asleep. Protest and get rid of those guns now. You see we read the news and its always the same thing on this subject people killing innocent people with those guns you like so much. We never read good person with gun self defends by killing criminal or killer with his own gun-never. Or good person uses personal gun to take out killer before killer comited more killing.

Please ask yourself if your love for guns is working. Fact is it is not working. It's simply offering weak minded mentally challenged individuals to act out bizar fantasies of horrible and unspeakable violence.

You are in danger because you are getting too used to violence and guns going off around you. Two hours and no sense of danger to help you do the right thing. Have you maybe become numb a bit. This looks like anger and disillusionment acted out by an ill person. Why are you all alowing your country to run programs and systems that lead to intense stress causing individuals to collapse under such strain as caused by some obviously wrong american ways? Go ahead be patriotic, be proud of what you are doing, this is not the first mass campus shooting you have had. Please see the uselessness of those guns you have come to accept.

Ah killing killling killing its fine, it happens. And it will happen again, until we really truely hurt, hurt very deeply to the point that we can actually make change to our systems. Good luck with your mad president. What ever kind of reincarnation is he? He was an alcoholic, uses antidepressants, and gets excited at the thought of using guns and excitement wells up inside him. He's what must be called a dated human model. $285 billion anual defense budget and he can't take out a cracker eating, desert dwelling Bin Laden."
