Look at the facts

No in your country where firearm ownership is banned, kids only stab eachother with knives instead. Much better? Get over your hippie utopian idealistic agenda. This story is about the moral standpoint that one company is taking regarding idiots who should not be posting material which is against their sites rules.

Pleasure vs. Reality

Just to show the media displaying violence for purpose of pleasure or reality is becoming blurry to the side of common sense.

Children [or adults] are not dumb when violence is exposed to them. The media is much as an education tool as much as a teacher.

Violence, older than prostitution, will be here until the politics stemming from the garden of Eden when the Devil presented himself as an alternate choice, will be done away with.

That hope is more real than the learned pleasure of violence offered by the media.

Nutters and guns

You need to keep one of them off the street... Preferably both!

Of course as the NRA says, guns don't kill people... Of course not.. It's just a complete coincidence that in countries where gun ownership is a little more controlled, they don't have students walking about shooting each other. Guess we'll never work out why that is.

Well done by youtube.

Well done I say. As much as I love freedom of speech, stupid crap like those videos have no purpose. Not artistic, not cultural, no nothing. 

It was about time they put a stop to displays like this video.

Existentialist suffering

The first shooting happened less than a year ago when one high-schooler shot his fellow students (and himself). There's no simple explanation, no reason, nothing with which one could grasp this situation. And saying "shit happens" just doesn't cut it.

The first schoolboy went into rampage because he felt no purpose in life, was consumed in suicidal texts and went to "purify" human race of weak people. Social Darwinism at its worst.

Be careful where you get your ethics.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
