An angsty youngster decided to go off with a bang and shot ten people in a school in Finland before aiming the gun to his own head. Somehow as a teacher I'm not feeling able to concentrate in an RPG-post right now even if I promised. Sorry.

But do go on, I'll catch up soon.

It puts us in memory of Columbine and others since. Take care.

EDIT: Okay, Groin has written the three legged race as next before lunch. So be it. (so much for executive orders ....) I haven't time to write a post tonight, but I want to have Eodwine look for Saeryn and Rowenna and convince Rowenna to partner with him for the three legged race after all. We'll see how that goes....

Face it, LMP: we all know that you're on your way out. You just don't have enough credibility to make executive orders anymore.

I'm very sorry to hear about the shooting. It is particularly distressing to consider the pain for so many families that will continue for months and years, resulting from that one moment of cold, pure, logical nihilism in the student's mind.

Then it would have had to have been poor logic, because logic correctly used will always yield the correct answer. But that's a topic for another thread...

...glad to know I have enough credibility to get a wise crack from Crabannan's muse......

It will only yield the correct answer if you are beginning with true premises. Logic can be completely valid and completely false.

Which is what I meant by "correctly used".

Anyway, my home computer is currently out of commission, so you probably won't see any posting action from me on the weekends.

Then I agree with you. But without God, nihilism IS the logical conclusion.

I don't reckon I'll post until lunch-time.

What? No, no, no, no I didn't mean it like that! Perhaps I should have been more specific, but I didn't mean to skip lunch. Never fear people I shall make amends to this catastrophe, help is on the way! *dashes into the closet and emerges in a Superman costume*

I heard about that in Bible class today. How awful. How far was it from you? I'm glad you're safe.

Elempi, I agree - Rowenna and Saeryn need to come back into the story.
