He has had many foreign students. Sadly in many cultures violence is an everyday occurrence. He has seen a student slice his wrists lengthwise. He has heard horror stories from Iranian, Lebanese, Iraqis, Chinese and Nigerian students. He has been told, If you don't let me into graduate school I will be sent back to my country and killed."<BR/><BR/>I believe they should do close screening and special counseling for foreign students. Especially the countries with warnings for US citizens not to into.<BR/><BR/>I know it maybe considered as profiling but it would save lives, theirs and ours. With our boarders as porous as they are and the amount of foreign students we have here it could only benefit their mental health and serve as crime prevention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-9526493925841187012009-01-23T08:27:00.000-05:002009-01-23T08:27:00.000-05:00Risk analysis?

Decades ago the lone gunman in the Texas Tower incident prompted endless debates amongst the news commentators about safety. Your chances of getting killed in some such incident are very slight. A drunk in a bar room, a gang-member, a motorist ... all are likely to be greater threats than some demented soul who starts off decapitating an acquaintance and then goes on a shooting spree involving random victims. <BR/><BR/>Are there nutcases out there? Sure there are! Direct your attention to the occasional nutcase and you are distracting yourself from paying attention to the much greater threats. <BR/><BR/>Its similar to the famous yachtsman who focused on boating safety by staying in good physical condition and being intimately familiar with how to sail his yacht properly. He did NOT focus on liferafts and the usual survival gear that would make departing his yacht easier. He paid attention to the primary goal. Sailing well. He did not focus on the obscure and unlikely.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.com
