Thread: Shooting incidents in the news.

    If part of what a spree killer is seeking is infamy, and that is what we've been told, it seems to me that the last thing we need to be doing is helping them achieve it.

    Let their name - and their image - be forgotten, I say. Never to be mentioned. Lost to history.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    That's been my opinion as well. I don't want to know their names, I don't want to see their photos, and I certainly don't want to have their psychopathic videos all over the news.

    Exactly ....

    And when you couple that with a lack of personal responsibility and sprinkle it with a touch of indulgence, you get a warped sense of entitlement that the real-world doesn't recognize or accept. There are LOTS of those walking around.

    The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.

    Which sometimes causes my tin foil hat to wonder if that isn't the point of it all.

    Sadly, it would be more comforting if there actually were some evil plan.

    Instead, the bus is going over the cliff with nobody at the wheel; we're all in the back arguing about who should drive and how they should do it.

    This is a prime example of why prostitution should be legalized. It would have solved this losers problem.

    It's not like the newspapers, phonebooks, and interwebs aren't full of escort services, and Nevada (where it is legal - not that this turd cared about the law) is just a quick Beemer ride away. Nah, this turd was far too narcissistic to pay for sex - he wanted the girl to think he was a great as his parents did.
