[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 428838, member: 35"] I think you hit the nail on the head. I was a freshman in high school when the Columbine massacre happened, and things have gotten even worse in the last 26 years. I still believed that a better future was possible until about five years ago, but it's become increasingly clear just how divided and broken we are as a nation. These issues will always be topical, sadly, but I think it becomes sensory overload for a lot of people. And thanks to smartphones, the carnage is turned into modern day snuff films on social media. Some people cry, some people cheer, feuding parties point fingers and cast blame, and the hate and division continue. There's certainly a depressing futility knowing that nothing is going to change. On top of that, these discussions can turn hostile quick. Having been part of such discussions, that's something I don't miss. [/QUOTE]
