From Jim Rockford:
“The popularity of movies where pretty girls die instead of (being saved by brave men and of course sleep with them) disturbs me. As does the failure of any young man to try and save his female classmates from Cho at Virginia Tech. Quite literally it seems that young men have decided that young women are not worth dying for and THAT is very dangerous for society.”
Jim – have you ever been in a situation where you would potentially have to give your life in order to save a stranger? I have not, and obviously neither have you as you comment on other people’s actions on one of the most unimaginably horrible days of their lives. The students at Virginia Tech were not soldiers, they were not taught to die for the man/woman (battle buddy) to your left and to your right – they were simply students who were in a world of hell in one blink of an eye.
As a recent Virginia Tech graduate and someone who personally knows people that were shot and has been through the grief with them, you have no idea what happened that day.
Jim, are you yourself prepared to die so that a stranger can live? When you state that you are ready to do that, and honestly mean such and do not say it because it sounds good, then perhaps you can support the comments you made.
