what exactly is it about april that fosters so much hatred and violence? surely, its not the month itself. I will admit, I get kind of annoyed when I owe taxes, but not to the extent I would want to take someone's soul over it.
here is an interesting site I found online: http://jerrythegeek.blogspot.com/
and here is some interesting excerpts from that site:.....
Since the Columbine massacre (April 20, 1999), the Oklahoma City Bombing (April, 19, 1995), the Waco (April 19, 1993) outrages, the month of April has been a continuing April festival of horror. And I for one am sick of it.
We are all disgusted by this annual rage of violence and slaughter of the innocents, and we all look for a solution to this distinctive American sickness.
But, what is it about the month of April which leads to such a death toll?[size=4]
April Massacres didn't happen just in America:
April 18, 1995: The Kibeho Tragedy (Rwanda, Africa) - 2000 people massacred in a Rwandan refugee camp.
April 9, 1986: Tblisi, Georgia (the country, not the state) - an Anti-Soviet demonstration leads to a violent 'dispersal' by the Soviet Army, leading to 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
April 26, 1986 - The Chernobyl Tragedy.
The deliberate massacres, however, seem (per OKC and Columbine) to be based on Hitler's Birthday: April 20.
This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read...

But do I recognize a trend beginning in the 1990's (Clinton Administration, People!- kidding) where there seems to be a terrorist act* in the middle of the month of April every 3 or 6 years. How could you not recognize that? And if you reply: yeah, so what?
Just proves the point you recognize it.
*I count Waco.

The Great Fire of London
The first V2 flying bombs kill 3 people in London
WWII
Earthquake destroys Ferdows Persia, 2,000 killed
Train accident at Zagreb Yugoslavia, 121 killed
74-year-old Hafnia Hotel burns, killing 35 (Copenhagen, Denmark)
India and Pakistan border fights
12,000 die in an earthquake in western Iran
Excursion train crashed into a ravine killing 175, injuring 400
Hitler orders extermination of mentally ill
Mussolini cancels civil rights of Italian Jews
7.9 earthquake strikes Tokyo and Yokohama, kills 142,000
That's just a short handful.
i guess when i indicated atrocities i should have been specific in the sense that i was referring to those incidents that are caused by human action, and not nature-enacted. so those earthquakes would be out.
by the way, its interesting to see just how far back in time youd have to go just to delve into something september-related. whereas, many of the events that im referring to in april are within the last 25 years or so.
i guess i should have been much more specific on this and something to the effect of ......"april atrocities that are caused by human action and/or mental manifestation that have occured within the last 25 years,.usually an event that most of us actually lived through during our lifetimes and witnessed on television and newspapers that day the event happened"
..by the way,.another incident happened the other day, that adds increased volume to my discussion here. a man killed himself and another inside the NASA complex in Houston, Texas.
Ahh,.and April isnt even over yet,.lets see what other mayhem will evolve before this month ends.

Just so we're all clear on this, you're arguing that the majority of human-caused atrocities occur in April because it's the month Hitler was born on?

no way to measure time? how about the chronological increment known as a year, we can use that.
I was simply referencing atrocities and april in general. however, if you want to associate hitler, then have at it.
