^ aren't you missing the rage factor? I don't pretend to know anything about it in detail, but pure rage surely changes the whole chemical balance in the brain, testosterone surely goes sky high, and whatever else happens physiologically?

I'm actually a nice guy (despite my posts here lol), but I'm going to admit something here - if I had access to a gun, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind I'd have shot at least 1 person before now. I've mellowed a fuck of a lot, so also feel quite truthful in saying it wouldn't happen now - I don't get the intense rage I used to experience, but yeah. When you are in that moment, where for whatever reason you are overcome with rage (was the classic fight or flight scenarios for me), you aren't in your rational mind, and that category of wrong (as you so rightly put it) doesn't exist at that moment(s).

So, 10 years ago, because I had the capacity for extreme actions, I'd have been deemed by those who will want to wield this sort of power at some point in the future because they want everything to be rosy, as worthy of culling (to use an obviously extreme example), yet here I am now, father to a couple of wonderful kids, a pretty good dad going by the great relationship I have with them, a helpful, caring, friendly member of society, and with fuck all 'help' from any cunt in gov't.

You can't tick boxes and have them cover all bases, and why the fuck should they even be there for the current 'greater good means these checkboxes work' way of thinking.

^ christ, that really was a ramble wasn't it :1orglaugh

I may post again tomorrow and make it a bit clearer. Or, I may not :upsidedow

The new world order requires that you give your weapons, so it will continue until you surrender.

Rage, is in the moment. The short version is that its basically your fight or flight response coupled with extreme anger. The majority of these school shootings are planned out well in advance. Weeks and months of planning and preparation. That's not "rage". That's premeditated murder. That's been my point, this is not just about someone having a gun or not... its about kids who are clearly unhinged and not being detected until they kill people or get caught trying to do so.

The student has died.

The Milgram Experiment shows without a shadow of doubt that empowerment does exactly that. While it is very interesting to note people's willingness to harm another once empowered by an authority, the most interesting thing I find about this experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment) is that NOT ONE participant went to check on the actor who was, they were led to believe, either extremely injured or killed by what they had done. Not one.

All that being said, I agree that it is not going to be the empowerment which is the cause. It is possibly a triggering factor though. Personally I believe the removal of the chance to explore issue of violence, domination, submission, social hierachy etc in early youth through rough play, rough sport etc is to blame for a lot of violence, bullying and outbursts such as this. Kids, boys especially, need controlled outlets to explore these notions as they are growing up. I believe that kids need to play rough sports like football and rugby and should be being taught some form of martial art in primary school and early high school.

Locked away!
