    I think many problems in America happen because many people there (nearly half) are against science and the approach of impartial investigation based on facts and statistics, believe that the Earth was created 5000 yrs ago or was intelligently designed (don't know which:) ) and similar stuff. Many things (like gun control, climate change, etc.) that are settled issues in most of the world are subject to "debate" and "controversy" there...

    Of course that's not the only reason for such a tragedy (and many other recent tragedies). When I come to the US for a conference and watch TV there, it's just crazy. First, the raw amount of violence, but then also all kinds of crazy ads that try to *convince* people of various kinds of bs that I think really affect their psyche when they're exposed to that all the time...

    Jesus Christ people, could we please stop debating gun control? I live in Connecticut, about 60 miles from where this happened, instead of posting about gun control, could you please get off your soapbox and say a prayer for the brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, aunts and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers of those that are suffering right now?

    It always slays me when people from backwater euro countries present to be  more informed and enlightened than the USA which has led the world for decades in every important scientific field. That is untill recently, as our ultra liberal socialist educational system has dumbed down our population to the point of sadness, much like the euro's.

    If your people had had the ability to defend themselves perhaps you wouldn't have to be "neutral" in the face of obvious evil.

    actually, I believe the word you were looking for was arrogant...ignorant would be your myopic view of the rest of the world.

    Your rude, needlessly patriotic and deluded. I wrote all it my first post and gave up on you, because you cant seem to grasp anything anyone else saids or put forward any rational or interesting argument.

    Calling Switzerland a backwater euro country is just delusional, its one of, if not the best working country in the world..  And that america has led the world in every scientific field is just absurd patriotic nonsense, based on nothing.

    The education system has got better, fact, people are smarter, more tolerant than ever before, and your comment on there neutrally is pathetic.

    It is a fact that you have 12,000 odd related homicides with guns a year, where the rest of the west has as low as 2 a year. There is a problem, people discuss and fix problems, and the world progresses,  people like you are  the ones who keep the world the same and ignorant. You speak of obvious evil and Switzerland, look at yourself it is you with your narrow minded views who would of followed the patriotic nonsense.

    I did not want to comment again on this thread, but your views are that of an infant or fascist.
