The problem is also that people who would seek help may have no insurance, and no money to pay for it, just like any other health issue. Absofuckinglutely. Thank you Canada for your socialized ways. So much deep respect to the victims and families in the recent shootings. Very little angers me more than hurting or killing innocent people, especially children. While all of these circumstances and tragedies are extremely complex and unique, I hope people begin realizing the importance of Mental Health in society (lack there of in our case)... Gun control is necessary, violence in video games, better assistance to parents with troubled children, better protection near schools: all of that is important, but i don't think any of it is nearly as important as developing ways that normal humans can spend intentional & self-critical time and work on their mental health. Just like going to the gym and exercising, the mind and emotional body is so fragile and complex. They can pass laws and argue on the news, but with so many troubled individuals attacking innocent people and then killing themselves it is SHOUTING IN LOUD CAPITAL LETTERS: We need to spend more time, attention, and money on positive, encouraging social mental health, and less on prisons. Less time arguing against gun control, less time on distracting issues like adultery or the sex life of celebrities and more right here at home where we have semi-regular acts of horrific violence on innocent people. |

The whole thing is fucked up, but it kind of bugs me that people want to focus so intently on the method these crimes were committed, instead of the fact that they were. People are just shocked, saddened, sickened, etc. and want to be able to stop this from happening. |

I can’t help but cry and extend a mental hug to the families affected by the Newtown shooting. Days after the mass shooting in Oregon, I have to wonder when enough will be enough. We have the right to bear arms, but when that right is being abused time and time again with guns made specifically to kill people, is it time to take that right away? There was nothing threatening about school children learning and probably, bouncing with excitement on the seventh day of Hanukkah and a less than two weeks from Christmas. I think about the parents who will never be able to give their children carefully wrapped presents from Santa this year. These people are the same ones that have to visually identify the bodies of their 5 year olds. With this being the 7th well documented mass shooting in America in 2012 ALONE, I don’t know what it is going to take for Second Amendment supporters to begin wondering about what their staunch impeding of motions to outlaw or make it more difficult for someone to get a handgun is doing.

Which brings us to my favorite facebook meme of the week. Derp. This pic has added irony now that a highly trained sniper was killed at a gun range a few days ago. |
