The Pixies - Where is my mind

Enormous public concern has been concentrated on recent school shootings. Some schools now resemble concentration camps. They have security personnel and metal detectors in place, to detect armed students.

Quotations:
"They were tired of those who were insulting them, harassing them. They weren't going to take this anymore and they wanted to stop it. Unfortunately, that's [exactly] what they did." Eric Veik, friend of Harris and Klebold, the two shooters at Columbine school. 1

"...much violence begins when schools and school groups 'stereotype, judge, marginalize and exclude other people.'" United Church of Christ, General Synod's daily news. 2

"I am sorry that it led to this. None of it should have happened. If only they would have understood, then you would still be alive." [Signed] Everyone" Message left on a placard by one of the 100 students who attended Tempest Smith's funeral. 3

"If you're a little different, some kids can make your life an absolute hell." Jean Vasquez, a student who twice tried to commit suicide while in middle school. 3

"People search in vain for some event or factor in the background of these child murderers. They seek in vain, for it is what is NOT present that matters. It is the absence of physical punishment, the only thing savages understand..." 4

"[T]he government is to blame because they took the paddle away from the schoolteacher." 5 "[I]f the paddle was still in schools you wouldn't have problems... maybe, if there was disiplin (sic), [at the Columbine High School shooting] never would have happened." 6

"[Mitchell] Johnson brought a pocket knife to school, and rumors spread through the hallways that he had been paddled for the violation, a practice allowed in Arkansas schools" (O'Brien, 1998). One of my own informants told me, "I spoke with the reporter in Jonesboro and he told me he definitely would not write about the paddling in the local newspaper, The Jonesboro Sun. When I asked him why, he said he's sick of people blaming Southern culture for the shooting."
Lyrics:
"Where is My Mind"

Oh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me, coy koi.

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Oh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Oh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Oh
Oh

i never mentioned knowing a mate who was also a veggie-picking vegie in aus.

he was a sergeant in the Israeli army, and had really bitten-down fingernails.

not surprisingly at all.

[majorsnag]

[Perryis36]

This is good. Real good!

[majorsnag]

yeah nice one perry...i dint think you had watched any of these

[Madmongul]

wow, fuck no way the government is gonna take away my second ammendment right. Plus it'd be impossible, our fore fathers made sure the constution could not be altered, it is the basics of our nation. And how will banning guns stop school shootings, i'll make it worse in fact. Think about it hypothetically, if guns are illegal, more poeple will want them. You can obtain virtually evrything through the Black Market.

Well done video. People need to remember that ostracism will work its ways on the weaker kids. And when they have access to firearms (legal or not, I might add) the vengeance they wreak can be horrifying.
