I brought up the gun stuff after the media started getting blamed.
I think the media does share some responsibility for some of these occurrences. After the Batman or Wisconsin shootings, psychologists publicly stated that constant news coverage of these events could encourage other mentally fucked people to copy the acts. I just went to Yahoo!'s home page and saw at least nine articles on the shooting. NINE. If that doesn't encourage some fucknut seeking attention and notoriety, I don't know what will.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
