Oh of course theres no better way to stand out then doing something destructive on a large scale such as a bomb. But the source of the problem is the feeling that the individual has because they are not accpeted by the popular crowd or they don’t hold up to the medias false images. Shows give so many younger people a negative body image because they don’t hold up to the image. Or they do not fit in with the popular cliche in school. I recently read a essay a classmate in school wrote called “The Effects of tanning on teenagers” the essay correctly displayed how the girls in school feel poorly about their bodies becaue they “Do not look tan like the girls in the shows”

when we expect television to raise our children, schools to take more and more resposability in the child reering process, how can we be surprised when children are destructive. the institutions of education across the world have become nothing more than propaganda machines. teaching skewed “truths” to children to portray some governing entity in a positive light… they don’t teach facts. the don’t promote thought. they teach opinions, and promote a heard mentality… not to mention that schools are bombed all across the world and it’s not a problem until some mixed up little rich kid decides to act out against suburbia and all its beauty. don’t be surprised be expectant. these children as it’s so often put have grown up quicker. they understand more about the worlds hypocrasy and when it sinks in that everything they hear is base bargain opinions and half truths. be proud, they see what you do not

If only these teens could have some self control. Kids who have no fear of death, own guns, and know how to make bombs could come in handy in some sort of organized rebeilion. Its a shame to see this talent go to waste.
But, oddly, I actually agree with what the police did. Its better that the kid to gets arrested than his classmates dying in mindless violence.

Self-control relies on the notion that the person is also rational. Meaning, a person is able to distinguish positive or negative outcomes. So, it may be said, a person who decides to take such illogical actions, for instance, blowing up a school, is irrational since such action is not practical for achieving his/her intended results.

thank you

finally I have found a website that shares my views! And I can’t believe that someone would do such a thing, it’s just another person trying to make their mark in the media controlled world… and guess who it is that censors the media and dictates what they say? The Government! When will they realise that they are only making things worse and that We would be much better off without their help? We know what it would take to make this country better because We would know what it takes to clean up after their mess

I honestly don’t see the mentality needed to carry out such an idiotic act. Furthermore if he planned to do something he could have at least thought it out more. I mean having ingredients to a bomb shipped to your doorstep! I am honestly dissapointed with todays society.
Trevor () - 04 05 08 - 20:04

ok what they did to the kid was right he shouldent have tried to blow up the school y should inocents die bt the kid made a point in that act that we shouldent take crap and that kids should learn to think more for themselves

Fuck School they probably deserved it
Jim - 07 05 08 - 11:09

if you dont want people making homemade bombs, try deleting all the homemade bomb making sites on the internet and ban those sites world wide, and cleary that kid was retarded for having someone send him the ingredients through the mail

I think kids today feel the harm of school/media brainwashing and stereotypical lifestyles they’re forced to accept and so they seek a drastic way of dealing with their problems and lack of freedom(of opinion, of thought…). We all have criminal instincts, but we must be rational and drive those instincts into organized forms of protest or ways of expressing ourselves. Blowing up schools is not the answer but accepting crappy standards and limitations in thinking is as a bad as school-bombing. Some kids are just too damn lazy to study and they immediately put up the idea that “school sucks, I wish I had a bomb…”, while others try their best but fail because teachers treat them like the rest of the “lazy bastards” in the class. In general I believe all these extreme actions are the cause of teacher’s(and parents’) ignorance and lack of interest in making EACH AND EVERY student understand why they are there, why they have to make those efforts, why they have to learn something and something good for themselves, not just for the sake of some good grades. If only teachers and parents would spend more time trying to understand their pupil/child ‘s problems and frustrations and try to help solve them out, these things wouldn’t happen so often(bombings, shootings etc.).

If everyone weren’t such assholes to kids in school they’d have no reason to bomb the place. Like I said earlier. they probably deserved the threat
Jim - 15 05 08 - 09:02

hey, maybe he just wanted to hear a loud boom. i love making explosions….

so ebay you say….
jordan - 30 05 08 - 12:53

I’m so sick of hearing of people being arrested for “plotting” to do something, what ever happened to freedom of speech, everyone takes stupid things to far, maybe it’s time to show these capitalist fucks what blowing up a building looks like. and if you’re some monkey fuck law enforcement agent or government employee reading this i hope you take it more seriously than any words you’ve ever read.
cory - 03 06 08 - 18:06

He wanted to show what we so called “kids” are capable of we can plot and what we can do so fuck the world Anarchy rules
Anarchyrules () - 08 06 08 - 16:43

kids are very capable of plotting things but are they capable of doing the things they plot if so then we should rise up against the goverment comrades

what’s the point of makeing a bomb or taking a gun to school to kill others? No one has a right to take anothers life for any reason and it’s not worth it. This is not comming out of no where all through school from the first teacher to lable me as anti-social in kindergarden to my senior year when some jerk stole my senior project the only thing standing between me and that damn diploma. I’ve been picked on rejected and other crap for one reason or another. I thought many times how easy it would be to pick them off one by one but as I kept thinking I relised that it would be to much trouble. If I killed them then I would have to deal with cops and the law and get sent to jail. Yuck! Their life isn’t worth mine. People in general need to see that killing is just stupid.

The kids parents denied him psychological evaluation because they were afraid it would affect his chances of getting into a good college. His parents are more to blame than anyone for his destructive behaviour, and yet, they are also a by-product of this screwed up society we live in.

I remember when I was a teenager, myself and some friends had created these elaborate plots to destroy the people in the school because we felt so alienated. We obviously never followed through, and our ideas had a more sci-fi kind of slant, but was still caused from the same thing that made this kid feel the way he did.

The people like him, and like me and my friend, have always understood our whole lives that there is something seriously wrong with our culture, and when you’re that age, if you have nobody to look up to, things can get to a point where self destruction, along with the destruction of the very thing that is causing your woes is the only thing that your brain knows how to do to release these emotions. You store it inside, and it has nowhere to go. Eventually your brain starts to remap its neuronal pathways, to a point where the only thing you focus on are these negative emotions.

The kid needed somebody to talk to, but nobody would listen. Especially not his parents, who ignored the fact that this was happening to him.
