[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1486595, member: 839"] Schools are "soft" targets. Gun-free zones. Areas where there are many fish in many small barrels ------------ lots of students in each classroom or cafeteria. Students are taught, these days, to hide in a corner, hide in a closet. The shooters know this. What has changed? Societal attitudes have changed. More emphasis on being 'politically correct'. Not wanting to have "hurt feelings", everybody is the same. Other changes, the younger generation (younger than me and several others on this board) have more single-parent homes than before. Many of these single parent homes (not all) have very limited exposure to the fathers/male "figures". Also, the younger generations have less time in church or a church influence. What else changed? mental institutions, sanitariums and the like were closed down and the residents/patients didn't have very many places to go. And yes, before anyone goes picking fights, I'm not trying to pick or start a fight, and yes, I am speaking in generalities. And before I get yelled at for "slamming" single parent homes, I'm not slamming them. I was raised in a single parent home, the #4 child out 6. However, our dad was an active participant in our lives and we did see a lot of him and the examples and expectations he had for us. The preceeding was just my humble opinion and :2cents: . [/QUOTE]
