For every one in another country there's roughly 20 in the US. And things like school shootings are uniquely American.
Our primary schools are ****ty, this is not news.
Also, interestingly enough, that list is missing the other incident at Virginia Tech (probably because it wasn't very highly publicized) where someone just walked into the Cafeteria or Dining hall and just cut someone's head off. No, I'm not lying, but I'm not clear on the details either since it was hardly publicized at all.

I got an idea to resolve this kind of idiotic thinking. Lets shut off all the games, tv's radios, and other form of entertainment for about 5 years and see what happens. Will there still be scumbags out there doing despicable acts to others? What was the problem with people like Jack the ripper? Jeffery Dahmer or the uni-bomber just to name a few? Did they get their ideas from the media? Video games and tv and quite possibly radio didn't exist back when jack the ripper was killing people on two different continents. The uni bomber despised technology so much he didn't have any of it. As for Jeffery Dhamer who's to say what his malfunction was. People are who they are. If there is any blame to be placed, it should be placed on the scumbag that commit ed these despicable acts of violence and no one else.
Perfect example of a fundamental attribution error. Everyone is different, and no one is simply the sum of themselves, and you can't "blame the scumbag that committed these despicable acts of violence" solely. There are situational influences that can affect whether or not someone does stuff like this.
Also, there are some people who are pushed towards violence by violent media, just like there are people who are born with genetic tendencies towards violence.
Cookies for you for making me look through my psychology notes just to find the name for that error, though :P

Please do keep up.
Posted a comprehensive list of all school shootings.
Like it really matters whether someone uses a gun or a knife.
And look who's being rude now.

The list was missing virginia tech, like you said, i directed you to a more recent list you missed since.
No, that more comprehensive list is missing the incident I am talking about also.
Makes me wonder how truly complete it is...

As a Canadian, i`m sorry the Virginia Tech massacre happened, because there are no Americans with *********
-.-
No one was talking about the Virginia Tech massacre. But thank you for reopening old wounds with such petty insults for the college community of the U.S.
