CNN Money examines in depth the art site Etsy.com and the struggle it is currently facing to keep it's user base, fellow artist's like us on deviantART. It is a very interesting read, to say the least, and will surely raise a few eyebrows.
Gangs in the United States are not a new or recent phenomenon. Their history has been traced back to the post Revolutionary War days and originally they formed as a means of self-protection and as social clubs.
Are you depressed? Do you feel like you are a failure? Do you feel empty inside? Do you sometimes end up harming yourself, or punishing yourself in some way? Do you find yourself unable to handle stress sometimes?
This might help. Give it a read, it might change your life. It changed mine.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

Each week the *DAPoliticalForum Club harvests a plethera of quotes we branded SKULL ChatterTM. We invite you to share in some of the humour of the DA Political Forum.
It's all over the news now, that on February 14, an otherwise well-liked 27-year-old man named Steven Kazmierczak walked onto the stage of an NIU lecture hall armed with four firearms including a 12-gauge shotgun. He opened fire on the students. The violence lasted a few minutes, but the killer ultimately ended five lives and wounded 16 other students before killing himself. Police recovered 48 brass shell casings and 6 shotgun shells.
DA is an international community, but some of us attend or are alumni of NIU. Others mourn the the lives lost to such a stupid, senseless, and shocking act of violence. As details emerge, it only gets worse. It seems the act was premeditated and carefully planned. It's only natural that DA members would post responses to the attack and tributes to the fallen. I decided to post some of them here.
How come there's such an uprise in school violence related to guns in the US? Are people angrier or is it because of a heavier focus by the national press?

This is why there is no such thing as perfect. A flawless beauty would be blank without any appeal nor character. Its scars are what defines it and what inspires emotion... from that moment, it becomes art.
Apologies to all. I seem to have soem errors in the article. The duplicate works were supposed to link to these images: [link] and [link] . I have contacted DA Admins to correct the situation ASAP. Thanks!
I have been asked by to add this poem [link] to my article. Since direct editing of articles is not allowed, I contacted DA Help. If any other images are missing or you have something you would like to add, please contact me. Thank you.
It is most unfortunate and unexpected. Your tribute is powerful and deserves to be seen. All these works and the words that go with them should be seen and read. Hopefully, this article helps to make that happen.
I don't think we can attribute the rise in school violence to one or a couple reasons. There are a number of different things that can cause a person to go over the edge. Psychological, medical, social problems can all have a detrimental effect on one and cause them to do horrible things. Some people can hide it better than others, as we're seeing with the NIU tragedy. The gunman was described as being kind hearted, mellow, funny, and peaceful. I think it's a number of different things that we have to keep an open mind and open eyes about it!

True, but you're just telling me about general personal motives which have been there for quite a while already. It does not explain the uprise attention, and that's what I'd like to know more about.
But I do agree that these tragedies do somehow remind us that our world/society still has flawed factors which still need fixing, and which are worth paying attention to.

Just my observation, I think the uprise in attention is due to the media and what evokes emotion, thus what gives ratings and if one can get a killer story on it and appeal it to their viewers, then they can in a sense increase their own status within the communications/journalism world. Being part of the media, it really sux that we capitalize on other peoples' misfortunes!!!

Justice and Freedom are two sides of a same coin,
