There are deaths everyday in places more brutal. All this gun control is just politics. That lanza guy is nothing compared to the rest of the world’s TRUE criminals.
Bad dogs aren’t born they’re made, True.
The development of a person is not decided at birth. Nature vs. Nurture is a common debate but it’s widely believed that both play equal parts in how a human being is going to behave, perceive things, and act in life. This mass murderer is a product of his environment and of his own biological tendencies. The two didn’t mix well for him and this is the result.
You are what you eat, True.
Everything we consume is going to be filtered by our bodies and minds. The more something is put out for the masses to consume, the more we are going to reflect that consumption physically, mentally, and spiritually. The marketing industry knows what they’re doing and so does mass media and entertainment. The consequences (whatever they may be) are a small price to pay when you’re wealth and position is protected by the law and rooted in freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
You get what you give(law of attraction), True.
Sociopaths and Psychopaths are a part of our population. Our population is massive. Unless something is done on a massive scale to reintroduce the basic social skills and morality that creates and abides by peace and harmony then how are we ever going to live in a world (of peace) suitable to them (socio/phycho) and socially/mentally stable people? Firstly, this is not something that can just trickle down because, if you haven’t noticed, our most respected and revered people share similar traits to the very “criminals” they take oaths to bring justice to. I don’t believe in change having limits or boundaries, especially within the confines what what our “authorities” deem possible or acceptable but radical thinking brings about radical change.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, True.
In some way, shape, or form. The problem is when man assumes control. We have been upsetting the balance of nature since our coming to be. Our only predator is ourselves. Our actions through history have resulted in our present which reflects the past in some degree but you know what they say about passing on a story; it’s never exactly the same by the time you hear it. What starts off as life is eventually going to change the more we love, learn, think, and live but also the more we lie, kill, manipulate, and die. But there’s one thing that will always stay the same and that’s the Truth. Until I live in a world where this is a reigning virtue and therefor most everything results and reacts upon that virtue and secrets and power are given up to it, nothing will be too farfetched to believe or learn about. But that does not mean I am satisfied.
Also, nukes will be the death of us all. If not because of the power of them then because of the thinking being done by powerful men/woman that ensured/created them in the first place. Truth is they want to defer every opposition, not just nuclear ones.
Video games is just sprinkles on the doughnut.
