Such a horrible thing to happen. Yet the Brady Bucnh will jump on this.
Have a Blessed Week

Some people are just crazy and there's no need for an explanation.

Rather than restrict guns as would be advocated, it would be safer to have better access to them and less restriction. Particularly as law enforcement has given up any pretext to making our world safer, except from hookers.

I agree with your theory. Let me add a thought of my own here: I believe the 'child-labor' laws have added to the problem, in that we have precluded 'children' from any worthwhile endeavor that might inculcate some self-respect, as opposed to self-esteem. They are discouraged from achieving in school by a dumbed-down education system, aren't allowed competition in sports and finally, we won't allow 13-17 year olds a job in which they might learn something worth learning.

We keep them mindlessly busy, doing pointless activities and wonder why they're ignorant, bored and sullen.

Allow me to paraphrase and condense what you just wrote:

"Although I haven't the foggiest idea about what might have caused this shooting, I'm not going to let that detain me from making an array of empirically unsupportable observations and causal claims that ultimately indict Society as the culprit."

Because until Society drained every ounce of competitiveness and character out of our children, hardly anyone had their heads blown off for no good reason.

Let me add a thought of my own here: I believe the 'child-labor' laws have added to the problem, in that we have precluded 'children' from any worthwhile endeavor that might inculcate some self-respect, as opposed to self-esteem.

Back to the mills and mines with them, I say! Their tiny hands must be good for some sort of productive enterprise. After all, these silly American labor regulations (which offer no exceptions whatsoever, damn them) are taking jobs away from American children and outsourcing them to Vietnam and Indonesia. Think of all the "character" and "self-esteem" our children might acquire from stitching soccer balls or sneakers all day long.

I almost entirely agree with you. However, your theory needs a small tune-up.

The claim that violent video games, slasher flicks etc. are the root cause of the source of violence in individiuals is demonstratably false. There are easily millions of individuals in the United States alone that enjoy these forms of entertainment and don't ever even have the smallest desire to kill/maim/massacre in the real world.

The root problem you need to address is that the violence stems from what you could consider a "lack of options". These kids are being mentally restrained by their teachers, leaving them in a position where they are physically unable to deal with reality. The result is that when they start having to deal with reality they can't handle it, leaving them confused, scared, and inevitably angry.

The next time you're really angry about something, ask yourself what the underlying emotion of that anger is. I guarantee you, the anger is not the "true" emotion. Anger generally is a cover for the true emotions that you're feeling - i.e. fear, confusion, desperation. The net result here is that these kids are left with nothing but their anger - and have probably never been properly taught to deal with such anger (just as they haven't been properly taught to deal with anything else).

There's only one cause here. Violent media has nothing to do with the ability of these kids to be law-abiding members of society. I guarantee you don't need violent entertainment in order to come to the thought of violence. Everything lies in how we're teaching our kids - and the result is becoming more apparent every day.

C'mon D, you know that's not what she was sayin'. I figured someone would respond with something like that though. I have to disagree with Cindi on the basis that there are things that kids can do around the neighborhood to get some money, if they're ambitious enough to do it. Mow lawns, shovel driveways, etc.. If a kid wants to work and earn some cash, they're not gonna sit around the house waiting until they turn 16 so they can finally get a little income.

I'm not sure if I agree with all the non-competetive stuff turning kids into whackjobs, or music/video games/etc.. There were lunatics prior to Grand Theft Auto III and Cannibal Corpse.

CY, you should be ashamed of a post like this. How vile. Clearly, liberals in society are at fault for this. Are you kidding me? And blaming Natalie Maines? Are you out of your skull? That is just low class.

I have to say though, I found this statement you made amusing--"We end up with children ill-equipped for success, unable to deal with failure, and programmed to see immediate violence as an acceptable answer to their short-term problems."

Sounds like the children of Confederates and Confederate sympthaizers to me.

No, no, E -- Confederates settled disputes through character-building techniques like duels and lynchings and such.

and have probably never been properly taught to deal with such anger

We just drug'em today if they're a problem. Back in the 60's when I was in grade school, there was none of that crap. If you got out of line, you got smacked. Now you get a behavioral counceling, self esteem evals, etc.

"Natalie Maines named as unindicted co-conspirator in Amish country school shooting. Dhimmi Chicks, at jihadi training in Pakistan, unavailable for comment."

ConYank,

You've totally missed the point with violent video games. The problem is not that they are violent - that's been around since the dawn of video games. The problem is the transition from "3 Lives and that's it" (3LTI) carry-over from the coin-op era to the current "infinite do-over"(IDO) that is common today. In the days before IDO, if you screwed up 3 times, in the home version you had to start over and in the coin-op you had to put in another quarter. This instilled a sense of responsibility, personal accountability and urgency and a desire for excellence. Now with IDO, you can screw up as many times as you want and you always can back up to the last "winning" scenario. This teaches children that no matter how many times they screw up, they can always get a do-over. This dovetails far more concretely with your other point; take away the consequences of your actions - and if you screw up and lose, that's a consequence - then it's really no big deal. Think about it.
