NASA shooting?

I beg to differ. While there may be a tiny group of the population
that feels this way, it is in NO way considered normal. Not
yesterday, not today, not tomorrow.


I hope so, but this new fad of mass killings may have
deep roots in many deep rooted american values, like
the availability of guns, the easy way of getting
violent, the lack of anti-violence education, etc.

Violence is not considered an animal and inhuman way of expressing
your feelings but a normal part of adult life. Violent crimes are
glorified in TV and in games, where always the most violent
wins.

One need not be 'mental' to be angry enough to take a gun to someone.


For a civilian to do so, except in the circumstances associated with
self defense against an individual who poses an IMMEDIATE danger to
your physical life, is indeed considered by most Americans to be wrong
and criminal.


Indeed by most people in the civilized world. But after all this
mass killings maybe *some* critic of the american model would be
necessary?

Because with mass media and the americanization of our TV shows
and movies we risk getting infected too.

For instance the public display of the video of the mass murder
in Virginia Tech. Doesn't this encourage future mass murders
seeking publicity to do similar things?

If, for example, there is someone in your home, who poses a immediate
threat to you or your family, self defense is valid. But because they
"hurt your feelings" in the workplace, sorry same reply: Not
yesterday, not today, not tomorrow

I hope that this is indeed what most americans think (and feel). But
why this killings?

This is not only an american problem. In other countries this happens
too, but not with the same intensity that in the U.S.


No. It is completely normal dude. Completely normal.

Got a bad job review?

Just let your feelings run uncontrolled and kill the reviewer.

Then kill yourself to avoid punishment like all coward.


It is not normal, and anyone who believes so, is also far from
normal.

This is correct. I was outraged by the sentence:


"One need not be 'mental' to be angry enough to take a gun to someone."

Thanks to kill files, I don't need to listen to this insulting
nonsense.
