(no subject)

Work has turned much shittier recently, and I'm applying for other jobs. That really makes me sad, because I like this work and the people I work directly with, and am gaining great experience in this area.

I listened to the radio on the way to work and it was filled with people giving their opinion on the V tech shootings, of crazy people, of gun laws, or the U response, and...I just wanted to thank the people on my f-list for understanding, far beyond the people I heard on the tv and radio, that their opinion doesn't matter. My list is not full of people prattling on about, with the rare and appropriate exception of people that actually know people there talking about those people, their opinions. It's something I didn't realize - even when people aren't on the internet, they think their opinion matters.

Irony is me voicing this, my opinions...but I have several problems right now and I need to vent.

I'm angry that the V Tech shooter is being described as railing against christianity. He complained about debauchery. He called himself Jesus for crying out loud. Maybe I'm missing those excerpts that show he was against the religion. Looks to me like he was taking on the role and positions of that religion, at least in his mind.

I'm afraid I'm in the unusual position, like in Columbine, that I feel like part of me understands part of the shooter. ( Controversial views, incoherent discussion, including the ability to post anonymously, behind cut )

I'm not pretending I'm presenting a coherent series of thoughts. I'm just kicking out some unformed things that I have in my mind.

What do you think?
