my opinion * this is a long fucker*
It was alright, in truth 'elephant' did get some of these facts down on film. It is hard for our generation especially, to accept conformity. There is an emphasis in modern day pop culture especially from America on being unique and fuckable. I suppose in America your style of teaching, your media and comersial culture not to mention the length of your education can only help solidify personal doubts about the world and make your view very biased. Im not an expert on American culture and to be honest most Brits dont like Americans attitudes in regards to life style and the world, but this flash is hitting all the right notes.
I feel bad for the people of Columbine and its just a fucking shame man, but when u feel like there is nothing else, when life is nothing but tedium and pain in more ways than one, what solution would you find? We can all agree that u dont have to be flayed alive to be tortured, life today is hard and brutal and some kids conform so its safer than trying to be unique which we are all capable. Columbine is the extreme, its two guys so fed the fuck up with life they end others and mock those who dont feel the same, its extremism.
I bet if u called their views of social cleansing remenisant of Nazi movement in the 40's they would call you a 'fag'. Im sorry this rant is going nowhere, i liked the flash man, and as a Brit, sorry for Columbine, pain is at its worst when the hurt has no meaning, but its about time that people started getting a grip on the situation and their lives and stop pretending that your infinite. Life is very fucking short, im 19 man and i have done jack shit! thats scares the hell out of me. Maybe it scared the hell out of them too. Truth is, i would feel better if people who do bad things arent painted up as monsters, maniacal monsters. They did this bad act because of their own messianic delusions, so just see it as what it always is. All stories are 'fun' fact, there are not truths and maybe in Columbine there was less said than we know. This is my opinion of course, anyone wanna take me up on it go ahead but i feel like there is more to Columbine than you or I know, dont believe the hype.
