I’m so sick and tired of all this. Wtf went wrong with our society

Our society, and republic for that matter, was founded upon Western Judeo-Christian values being practiced both in public and private life. It was also built upon the foundation of a two parent household where a mother and father instilled into their children these values.

All that is gone. Our society has turned its back upon the values it was founded and the foundation of the family has been largely cast aside.

Just as any structure cannot stand once it’s foundation has crumbled, the same is true for our society. So, to answer your question about WTF went wrong with our society? Simply put, we as a society have destroyed it. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the collapse that has already started.

Yep as a teacher this infuriates me. Countless LEO have told us use ABC. Avoid(run) Barricade and lastly Confront. But hell no , we are cutting off lights and hunkering down in the corners of rooms. Just had a drill the other day

A old lady asked a man what he did for a living.
He said he was a commercial airline pilot.
She tells him "that sounds exciting!"
He replied, "Well, I try real hard to make sure it's not exciting."

You’re an idiot

If they’re going to be sitting ducks in a classroom, then they need to be able to at least defend themselves. Obviously every teacher having a gun in their classroom, isn’t the best idea, as I sure as hell wouldn’t want my life depending on some of these teachers, and how they shoot guns. I do think something should be looked into allowing teachers that want to have a gun in their classrooms, being allowed to though.

---

on the surface I like the idea but there's some teachers that are just as unstable, if not more unstable, than some of the students. If you go that route you need to have some sort of mental screening to approve it. Not to mention the worry of the wrong students getting a hold of it for some reason.

There's some of my coworkers I would not want to have a gun in their room and its not because I worry about them firing it correctly.

Don't get me wrong im in favor of it theres just alot of things that would need to be worked out first for me to feel 100% about it

Nation of 300 million people with even more guns along with lack of universal healthcare

poor funding for mental health institutions will do that
Also doesn’t help that the media loves to turn the shooters into celebrities

That is better.

Oh piss off 60 years ago we were fire hosing black people down the streets and telling them what places they couldn’t eat at

Spoken like a truly blind fool. Too blind and indoctrinated to see how stupid you really are. Nobody claims society was perfect 60 years ago. It was far from it. But it was, unlike today, still a functioning society. Idiots like you who believe in throwing the baby out with the bath water though have ruined it.

No I’m right we have a mental health problem in this nation as well as improper funding we also have thousands of not millions who can’t afford proper mental healthcare which attributes to the current problem we are seeing


You can stick your head in the sand and go on about muh socialism or whatever but these are facts
