School shootings and bad news used to promote institution

Yeah, last time I stated I would never post here again, it was to see the character of a few hecklers.

So, why is this happening more frequently? For attention?

Ever since VaTech and Duke, I suspect some campuses think that bad news will give attention and more ppl thinking about that school.

Add on!!!!!!!!

How many times does that make now, that you've "cried wolf"?

Attention? Are you implying the schools are someone promoting students to go berserk and go on a gun rampage, so they can benifit somehow?

I think that issue is going to be on all the major schools' agenda at the 2008 Planning Meeting.

"Can we get shotgun vending machines?" asks the Dean.

I'd say it has more to do with the news channels promoting the violence, than the schools.

Enrollment at Va Tech is up since that idiot shot some people...

And a correlation is causation

And because people are benefiting, the must have planned it

My new supposition is that Cho was hired by the university to increase enrollment by shooting students. If only I were witty enough to throw in the asian reference to that jab.

I just heard it on the news. My first reaction: What the **** is wrong, with America.

They need more guns, so people can retaliate.

Eh, if peers weren't such dicks to other peers, there wouldn't be so many problems. However, thats unavoidable.

And firearms are waaaaay too easy to get here. If I really wanted one...... well scratch that, there's more than one gun in my house, and it's not even mine, so I wouldn't even have to make an effort to get one.

Tu no sabe nada.

It's not for attention. I've never seen an ad that said 'Duke University: We Frame Our Athletes.' Or V-Tech attempting to boost their enrollment by capitalizing on the shooting.

Well, was to be expected. Every day's a 50 50 chance of a school massacre in the US.

No, it's the idea that negative news is better then no news at all, and out of sympathy, ppl will hold that instituation in the forefront of their mind.

Right, so they paid a student to kill other students to get more enrolments?
