QUOTE (dauss @ Apr 17 2007, 08:11 PM)  I've read some TTU history papers, and I'm surprised that they're even in college with their writing skills, even though they've lived here their entire lives. believe it or not, writing history papers isn't exactly everyone's life work. i'd guess the vast majority of history papers were writtin as quickly as possible with little thought, just to get by and get through the class. quite frankly people have better things to do. |

Apparently, he wrote about religion in the letter found in his dorm room. The more I read about this kid, the more he creeps me out. Yeah, I understand that, but what I don't get is why he would reference the Muslim "revered" son instead of Isaac, the son that Abraham was going to sacrifice in the Bible. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Maybe because he felt out of place?
I dont know. The Bible predicted that Ismael would be the father of the Arab race. His descendents would always be at turmoil with the Jewish people. Maybe somehow there is some symbolism there. |

I know that Ishmael was supposed to fulfill that role but if this turns out to be a "I hate the Jews" type of case, I'm going to be pissed. Something that has really blown me away is how complete the Wikipedia entry is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech...nday.2C_April_2 -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (THECHICKEN @ Apr 16 2007, 11:33 PM) What amazes me is that i've only heard this kid to have had 1 (maybe 2) pistols. And 9mm at that. How the fuck do you kill 30+ people with 9mm pistols? I just want to know how it went down... Executions? Because especially with people running away, a 9mm bullet doesn't do much damage respectably. Just seems crazy to me that he had time to put as many bullets into people (reloading and all) it would seem to take to kill 30 people. Did No one try to throw a book and rush the fucker while he tried to get a new clip in? The main part that saddens me is the fact that no one got to kill this shit bag because he did himself. When the fucker gets to kill himself its like he gets to complete his mission and have finality. I wish someone would have taken his death out of his hand and ruined SOMETHING in his plan... You have to remember...South Koreans are known for being expert at two things...Starcraft and Counter-strike. --------------------  A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. |
