I said I wanted to get myself writing, and I think I may know what subject it might end up being on. There are certain things that just always end up getting stuck in my head for a while once I hear about them, even if it's been years.

I'd probably agree that Columbine was more horrific than Virginia Tech, mainly because of what you said about the differences of high school and college, but I'm not sure I agree with the feelings towards the killers.

Yeah, I'm not saying it excuses their actions--and you're right, they didn't just target those who bullied them. And there are plenty of people who were bullied who grow into perfectly good people without making life worse for anyone else. I just, I don't know, I guess it's just I understand why they did it--I don't agree with it, but I can understand why they did it. And they didn't do it for any publicity or anything (which is the main reason why Cho angers me so much more than them). And I just get upset when I hear people say that Klebold and Harris are on the same level as people who just kill for the infamy. The whole event was incredibly tragic, and I just feel that includes them as well ( ... )

XD Well, I did write a lot. I don't blame you.

I've never actually seen any movies or anything about it, although I have seen documentaries and specials and stuff.

No, I have heard about the movie though I think.
