[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I ALSO THINK THESE MASS SHOOTINGS ARE A RESULT OF OUR COLD, CALLOUS SOCIETY. [/quote]

The U.S. is the only country that has anything like this level of problem. We're not that much more cold or callous than most other places - in some cases, we're warmer and more welcoming. Where we really, really differ is the number of guns per capita that we have in private hands. I'm all for making this a kinder, gentler nation -- but, really, the guns are the biggest problem.

I think PP is referring to that lack of a social safety net, mental health services are for the rich because insurance isn’t taken by most practices and the ones who do take insurance have long waitlists. We live in a dog-eat-dog society. Inequality is sky high.[/quote]

If we can get a bipartisan agreement for massive public funding of mental health care infrastructure, I'd call it a win -- even if I think that guns are the larger part of the mass killing problem. Independent of these shootings, we need better mental health care in this country. [/quote

Won't happen unfortunately.  We don't even have enough health care experts that can manage all the people who need help, even with public funding.  There's a waitlist just to have teens work with therapists around here.  And moreover, the people who most need the help aren't going to go get help.  It's more a community watching out for each other to the OP point.  The US is MOST CERTAINLY not a kind and gentle nation - LMAO.  We are a capitalist society that preaches money above all.  This is about as hardcore of a society as you find.  Independence for all - that translates to zero community.[/quote]
