<div class="quote_poster">AKIRA Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">i think we all need to calm down, brian was correct in saying that it is probably bogus, he didnt laugh at the victims from the VA tech shooting, he just pointed out that there is a new "trend" of these kind of things made by stupid fat nerd kids who sit at there computers all day posting comments on youtube and jacking off. these fat sweaty losers think it is funny to make fake death threats and kill lists and **** like that, it isnt funny at all that it happens but it has been happening increasingly since VA tech. that is all brian was trying to point out, that this is most likely the case. its also very interesting to see the kind of people that are these killers, and they usually have no social lives, which is extremely bad for your mental state, the human species needs interaction with fellow humans, when this does not happen and a person feels as if they are being alienated by the entire human race they only need one small incident to set them off and make them want to "take revenge" on all those people that "alienated" them. they hate everyone because they beleive everyone hates them, and beleiving everyone hates you is a sign of an unstable, un healthy mental state. i beleive everything is related socially and you cant just say that certain chemicals inside the brain cause people to be overly aggresive or whatever it was. socially healthy people may have some inbalance in the chemicals in brain but because they have healthy social interaction they dont expirience any hatred towards the human race. although there are some cases in which mamba was refering to, when the killer or criminal is mentaly unstabe or insane or something, and this derictly causes them to want to harm people, but i still think it all revolves around your social health.</div>
I think the two tie in together. If someone is antisocial and lacking friends and people who care about them, this could be the thing that sets off their aggression. For most people, if you were feeling upset or frustrated, you just need time to get over it and to calm yourself down. But if these people can't control their aggression, the slightest thing like having no friends or being picked on in school could make them want to hurt people to get revenge like you were saying. The kid who made the hit list for example was a freshman who was very quiet and nobody talked too. While most people would have just tried to make friends, he may not have been able to handle the situation and something in his brain told him to act the way he did. I don't think being socially unhealthy is enough of a reason for someone to hurt others, I think it has to be combined with something else like the brain flaw for example. Many people deal with being socially unhealthy when you move to a new school and stuff and those people react fine. It's the people whose brains can't handle that type of situation that "get revenge" on the people that weren't friends with them.
Mamba, I agree that a lot of different things make a person the way they are. I think social life, how you were brought up, chemical balances in your body, and possibly being bullied at a young age could all make someone want to hurt someone else. I can honestly say that I could pick out the kids in my school who I would be worried about if a threat like this were made. They are the ones who are always drawing creepy stuff, sitting by themselves (this goes back to what AKIRA was saying), and basically hating everyone. I try to be nice to everyone because I would hate to feel like I was left out socially but they are treated like **** by so many people they just hate going to school it seems like. If any of them had brain flaws or a bad childhood, that could possibly make for some problems.
