My Professor

[DigitalWanksta]

I walk into my Economics class today, for the first time since the VT shootings. My professor starts class with a serious; "I don't know what to say about the situation at Virginia Tech that hasn't already been said by others. However, I'll say this; you need to grieve but you need to do something about gun control or your kids will be in the situation that you?re in today."

Let me set the scene for you here because this guy is the type that thinks he knows everything. He makes sure you're aware that he has earned his PhD, etc.. Does he not realize that no matter what you do with gun control, you won't be able to stop a killer from executing his plan? If the government decides tomorrow to increase severe gun control and keep weapons out of reach, this will not keep a situation from taking place such as Virginia Tech.

I just got out of this class, and I felt the need to post it. It really just rubbed me the wrong way because he almost seemed insensible to those victims and their families so he could place more focus on what he thinks the government should do.

Report him to the dean and call the news. Expose him for what he is.

Unfortunately universities are filled with professors that have liberal agendas that they feel they have the responsiblities to expound on.

Luckily you have a brain of your own and can reason. You also did the right thing by not questioning him.

lots of people are blaming the 9mil hand gun and the movies/video games. the thing on cbs last night was horrid. saying how the gun has been " romatisized". do they really think that criminals care if there gun is legal? its already easer to buy a gun illegally than it is to get it registered with the background check and all the rest of the crap. blame society, blame the kid, don't blame the weapon he chose.

"This just in, professor says something not related to course material." Yeah.. that's really newsworthy - its not like it happens all the ****** time...

Report him to the dean.

That's really unclassy. I don't know if a single remark is really worth reporting though.

this issue is not about gun control.
its really about Korean control.

When you call the news, ask for ace reporter Clark Kent.

Yes, we should do that. But let's pretend the attitudes towards guns and violence are not a part of society, because... they exist in a vacuum, right?

Wrong:

Right:

yeh... it was trolling. it was the very essence of trolling. you should have just noted you feel stricter gun control would be ineffective instead of implying that it had to do with the guy being Korean.

Agreed. "Opinions are like assholes...." Sometimes Assholes like to voice their opinions a little too frequently. For the professor to make a comment like this, he is probably just shaken by the incident and scared that it happened in his work environment.

Everyone knows that this kid was obviously troubled. The good thing about our justice system is that we don't pre-emtively convict people for having hatred and killer-tendencies. I'm sure most of my ex-girlfriends would end up in Guitmo if the government started doing that. (heh)

There's no way to stop crazy people from doing what they do. I'm just pleased that this is the worst college shooting in US history. It could have been a lot worse and previous incidients were also on a smaller scale.

Don't feed the troll.

A professor with tenure that has the ability to speak his mind freely without fear of termination for his comments?

I actually thought his post was sorta funny. Along similar lines though, maybe there should be stricter control over who buys bullets. A gun is only useful if it has bullets in it, right?

I hate tenure. You shouldn't get a free pass because you've worked at a school for 3+ years.

But protesting his comments everyday and rallying for him to leave CAN work.

Just call up a few talk shows, get it recorded, and railroad him out of town.

OP could even use PC in his favor this time. Say how hurt he was by the comments and how his entire belief in the educational system is broken by the words of this professor. OP may even have to seek counseling just to deal with the blow.
