    Default American society has made a grave turn.

    When a replay of the Royal Wedding is bigger news than another horrible school shooting, we are in trouble. We are accepting the murder of our children like the Middle Easterners accept suicide bombings.

    It’s barely news when citizens are detained by police simply for speaking Spanish.

    No it's not a grave turn Jarod. Americans have always loved celebrity. This isn't new to today. There were more school shootings in the '90's than today according to String. Yet they rarely made national news. Why is that?

    Edit: My wife watches the Today Show every single freaking day. Their lead story this morning was the Santa Fe kids funeral. What else would you like? 24/7 coverage until guns are banned?

    Why don't you ask the people/women on the board why they watched the wedding after the school shootings? If they didn't watch the networks wouldn't show it

    Do you have a citation about there being more school shootings in the 90’s? I remember a few that were big news...but others were not big news as so many were not killed.

    BTW, I didn’t claim school shootings were increasing, I pointed out Americans are accepting them as “normal” and acceptable.

    I didn't watch either one. Could care less about Harry/Meghan getting married and the news media only shows things related to people blaming guns for shooting themselves.

    String posted it and claimed I was far right for saying otherwise. So schools shootings are decreasing yet you think we are allowing them to be acceptable. How so?

    They are considered acceptable when society refuses to to the obvious to stop them.

    I wonder if social media is causing all these kids to start shooting other kids? Some kids being ostracized, bullied, made fun of. In 'real life' it may just be a small group that rejects the kid, but on social media, it's like the entire school is rejecting the kid. The 'virtual' world has a stronger impact on the rejected kid than the 'real' world. For some reason, I'm thinking 'Lord of the Flies'.
