OK, who was it that told us that a school shooting would NEVER, NEVER happen in Western Europe? Who could that have been? Oh yes, our 19-year old life expert. Well, Andries, it only six months for Never to happen.

Don't play the lottery this week.
Hear hear! Europe is indeed free of psychotic imbeciles who love to kill their own, unlike those inferior students in the United States. A murderous rampage with ten dead would never happen in Western Europe, as the American society is geared towards violence and low intellectual quarrels. The bridges in Western Europe will never collapse, as we have a superior understanding of the relation between damping constants and spring constants of non-homogeneous differential equations regarding resonance structures commonly found throughout the world. Such an understanding in American universities is quite lacking. They cannot even calculate the spring constant (k) of a spring-mass system.

The buildings, bridges and universities of Europe are far more secure than those of the US, as such school shootings or bridge collapses would never occur in modern-day Western Europe.

Never mind what Seven has said. His opinion doesn't exactly represent that of the entire Western Europe. That being said, he's not entirely wrong. These kind of things are an anomaly and rarely occur in Europe. Largely due to the tough gun laws. For your information, Finland has the 3rd highest gun ownership in the entire world, only surpassed by the United States and Yemen.


Also, for your information you could have come at Seven on this issue a long time ago, as a psycho killed 18 people in Germany back in 2002.

As as bridges are concerned, Seven's right about Portugal not being exactly counted as "Western Europe". Not to mention Portugal is one of the poorest countries in Europe so it's not a surprise their infrastructure isn't up to par.


PS: It should also be noted that the difference in reactions (of school shootings) between European countries and the US is extremely big. Unlike the US, where it takes years and years of school shootings and innocent children to die, to make a change in laws changes in Europe are almost immediate. This is one of the biggest 'massacres' in Finnish history and already they are in the process of changing their gun laws; just three days after the incident!

Hector, are you a civil engineer perhaps? Do you have an understanding of spring constants and damping effects of non-homogeneous linear equations? Do you know exactly how different locations on the earth can experiance different absorptivity and scattering coefficients of radiance in our atmosphere, thus altering almost every single molecular atmospheric measurement taken in this field of study? Such fluctuations of radiance propagation can even have bearing on the resonance of a bridge resonance. What evidence is there that such a bridge collapse could not happen in Europe?

I demand a full resport. You must take into account the resonance between the Minneapolis bridge and the frequency of the cars passing upon it along with the frequency of the train passing below the bridge. Moreover, you must account for the variance in radiance striking the broken bridge at the time of collapse, while considering the different frequencies produced by any feature around the bridge on that date. Lets conduct this experiment, brother, because if we don't, we can't really draw any conclusions from such an event.

Happy diwali to you bro.

Get off your high Indian horse bro, we beat you the other day. We're tied 1-1 ;)

And Bhutto can go fuck herself and fall to a grave next to her father. Forza Musharraf!

I totally blame school shootings on the pussyness Americans have endured. We as a society are some of the most scared people on the planet. Days of the "cowboy" image are gone. And to make up for our lost bravado what do we do? Buy guns of course, and we forget t explain to our children why exactly we bear arms. Instead we pump them full of Ritalin, Stratera and all forms of legal tranquilizers fully expecting to not have to "be a parent". If we would just sit down as discuss the values we are so afraid of losing then maybe this shit wouldn't happen.

So true, brother. I think this is one of the best posts I have ever seen you make. :tup:

Well done, my man, and I better be seeing you in exactly one week.

Exactly. I can't build a bridge, so I don't. I let people who can. More importantly though that's not quite the issue at hand. The Minneapolis bridge was decent when it was built and various engineers told the government that it wasn't safe anymore. In Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany and the UK people might have listened.

I already referred to Germany back then, so there is simply no way I said they never happened. I always said they were rare.

I see people love to twist my words yet again. As you should have noticed, I always supposed there were just as much imbeciles in Europe as there were in the US. Now I'm most likely completely wrong to assume such an idea, but I did.

The rest of your post I won't even adress. You're obviously full of frustration because people don't, or act as if they don't, take Penn State seriously.

The problem with Andy is that he always reverts to such techniques during a discussion. That's all good and well when you're a politician and you're trying to win the votes of imbeciles, but when you're on an internet forum trying to make a point it looks rather ridiculous.

Kind of like the way it looks ridiculous that he put so much effort in using scientific terms that were completely unrelated to the point.
