Question by usa_jcrew68: Can you think of some ideas on how we can prevent school shootings?
The VA Tech massacre, the Columbine killings, and countless other school shootings has created fear and paranoia in the our schools and society. We realized since 911 anything devastating can happen at any moment. The VA tech incident (even though it wasnt terrorist related)has created a a higher “awareness” in our society. I think gun control, random drug testing, and mental health testing should be the norm in all institutions.
List some other reasonable ideas that can prevent a shooting like this from occuring again?

Arm the students and faculty. Banning guns from schools just creates unarmed victims at the mercy of someone who doesn’t obey the gun ban.

Question by Seeker Of Painful Truths 2: Do people use the term “addiction” as a way to control people to do as they desire?
I ask because it would seem to me that based on what experts say, “addiction” is bad for you. Yet when ever the word “addiction” pops up, people usually use it like this below:
– PORN addition is bad
– DRUG addiction is bad
– ALCOHOL addiction is bad
None of that make any sense to me because I thought it is “ADDICTION” itself that’s bad. If thats true then why the need to specifically point out what kind of addiction it is? It should matter what the addiction is because the problem is “addiction” itself.
I think that people have clouded the term addiction so much that it’s meaningless. I think when people have a real problem like alcohol addiction or what ever, the core problem isn’t that they are heavily into alcohol, but that they are seriously UNBALANCED.
‘Unbalanced’ (I just made it up but makes sense to me) means you are so heavily into a certain thing in life that the good things in your life are fallen apart. But to say “addiction” is like saying a bad word when in actuality we are all truly addicted to many things in life on a daily basis that doesn’t hinder our lives, but instead, betters it. I’m addicted to reading for instance, hardly a bad thing.
@darkeyes – So then, “love” is an addiction. It can make you miss an important meeting, forget to eat, and fore go fun things you normally would like to do. Depending on the perspective of the viewer, this “love” is non-productive because it’s taking time away from other aspects of your life, and unhealthy because the butterflies in you’re nervous stomach as you miss the one you want is hindering you from eating.
But just because things like “love” fall into the terms of “addiction” doesnt make “love” a bad thing. Again, this is why I think the term “addiction” has been polluted.
@hayley – That is a VERY smart answer! Agreed ot the MAX.

Answer by Milla ^.^‿
Almost every addiction is bad, just some have more negative affects than others.
Drug addiction is the worst obviously. Then some drugs are also worse to be addicted to than others as well.
Addiction is seen as deviance, which is; behavior that is recognized as violating expected rules and norms.

Answer by Iggy
Habituated is another good word, it has that snob value that comes with big, important sounding words that haven’t yet been overused in reality TV, or printed under the face of a “celebrity” on the cover of a magazine sold only in supermarkets.
I aim to get some mileage from it before it becomes as passe as “twerking”.
