First I'm Going To Get Sick

Bundy is the exact reason why mental health issues need to be the focus. You don't kill people because you get bored with Jean Claude van Damme movies and porn. You kill people because you lack the self-control it takes for moderation. That's clearly a mental health problem.
Listen, I play mass effect and GTA. Hell Im playing assassins creed 3 now (not right now but you get what I'm saying) I probably shot 1,000,000 effegies of humans before I was 18. Some people can handle it and some can't. The thought that this stuff doesn't desensitize you is bullshit. Have you watched these beheading videos from Mexico? I have and it doesn't even make me blink. That's called desensitizing.
I'm not pre disposed to killing people and that's a very good thing. But other people are and showing them that type of material on demand is a very bad thing. When you have fantasies they eventually have to be acted on. So you're right about it being a mental health issue, no arguement there, but you saying it doesn't de sensitize you is utter naive crap.

I never said that it doesn't desensitize you, I only ever claimed that desensitization is a bullshit scapegoat.

Not at first no. Any killer or even soldier will tell you they were physically ill the first time they killed someone. But sadly it gets easier. If you go over to bestgore.com and read the comments on these videos you'll see some very disturbed people. What you have is a bunch of people raised in the age where terrible violence both real and fake is so easily accessible that seeing a guy get his head cut off with a chainsaw is fucking boring. It's going to produce some real issues with kids that watch 3 guys 1 hammer at ten years old. Violence happens its always happened but to say that shit makes no contribution is asinine. Insane.

I'm not scapegoating it but pointing out that the ease of access most definitely exacerbates whatever mental issue exists that causes you to be the type of person who could kill 20 helpless little children because you're mad at your mommy. Makes you more driven to fantasize about it. More driven to act on it. Maybe without graphic gratuitous violence shoved down your throat the psychosis manifests itself as something else. Not all psychopaths and antisocial disorders become murderers. Maybe you work 20 hours a day, who knows. Ted Bundy could have been a politician. Instead he was a psychotic murderer. He felt violence and pornography steered him, a person with poor control of his emotions and a psychotic personality, into murder. I think he'd put a lot of thought into it while he sat on death row.
To write that off because you yourself are not a psychopath is naive. How do we address the issue in other ways? Take those that exhibit signs of being a psychopath or having antisocial personality disorder early in life and execute them? Lock them away forever? Get them on a regiment of medication forever? Or do you try and turn their disorders from fixating on murder and possibly fixating them on something else? What's your idea?

Some sort of intervention is necessary. It's likely that the best outcome of this is that people will be more aware of the mental health of those around them. I don't know exactly what type of intervention that would be, but I can't see the government creating a law or program that would stop this sort of thing from occurring.

Try to contribute something woody. I'd love to hear your ideas instead of just hearing how stupid I am because you disagree. I am not a stupid person. Stupidity and having a different point of view are different things. I scored just as highly on my ACTs and SATs as you probably did. I finished engineering school as well. Instead of pointing fingers and saying you're a stupid doo doo head why not try actually joining the conversation with your own thoughts instead of just quoting vapor and saying the equivalent of "yeah what he said." You might notice that I called vapor naive but not stupid. I wouldn't bother to write all this crap if I felt you guys were too stupid to understand it.

1) I did contribute. You ignored it. Unless you want me to come up with some amazing 20 point specific solution to this problem like you were hammering Vapor with. No, I can't do that.
2) I don't think I called you stupid.
3) We just can't be too certain about those grades and scored, can we?
4) I never quoted Vapor
5) Ignore my +1 then. I am agreeing with him. Would you rather me type the same exact thing just rephrased?
6) You have said a lot of times you don't really care about a lot of what you post on here and are just looking for a debate, but that's cool I can respect that.

Such a shame with the senseless deaths of our future! I know everyone is pissed off and fighting about who is right and who is wrong but at the end of the day, the kids are still dead. There is not an answer to what people do, if someone is going to shoot or stab or blow up someone else, they are going to do it. Shit, a dude in downtown Manhattan was shot in the back of the head by a hit man while he was looking at his cell phone. The murder was in broad day light and caught on video and no one has been arrested, Google that one!

My boys are never going to public school. This is a fucking travesty.
My kids never went to public schools, but that wouldn't have stopped this.

This school has an outstanding reputation in Conn. It is just a sad fact that if some evil (and yes this was an evil deed) person decides to commit an atrocity such as this there is little you can do in a free society to stop them. By the time the police got there it was already over. The teachers who were there said that the entire thing lasted less then 3 minutes. Even an armed security officer would have done no good because he or she would have been the first to die most likely.

This poor asshole had the same name, and now his life is kinda fucked.
Also, a big fucking lol at people blaming it on desensitization. I heard Fox News and MSNBC already blamed video games.
Are you kidding me, vapor? You are so naive. So naive. You don't think growing up watching the hills have eyes and playing halo desensitizes you to the realitys of death? I think ill possibly believe Ted Bundy's last thoughts on it over know it all 20 year old college kid, vaportrail.

Ted Bundy is who you believe? Wow. Listen dude. There was a 7 year long study done on the effects of playing video games, and proved that actually video games are a cathartic release of pent up violent thoughts that are there without video games. If you are 20 years old and cannot tell the difference between real life and a fucking video game, you got a screw lose in the first place.

Maybe we need to drop the defunct war on drugs and put more attention to the war on assholes.

First all of you Retarded liberals have taken God out of the schools and then you make no weapons allowed zones where good people cannot protect themselves or others so soward pick these places to perform their evil deeds.
The world is a Evil place and when you allow dumb fucking libtards to make up the rules and laws you get children killed in schools.

Because Clinton signed a bill enacted during Bush Part 1's tenure, it's a liberals fault. Admittedly it is a dumb law and see Ron Paul's HR 2613 getting passed very soon. See I think, I just don't blame the Libs or Conservatives as an easy way out of thinking for yourself you dumb shit.

With the ccw license....
I would be able to legally gun down someone like this in public somewhere, some parking lot,... side of the road.....
That's in OH, .... but that will probably never happen in a hundred years.
So devastating, so tragic/horrific.
but the insane acting out in grotesque, horrific violence - who can understand that?
I remember the sheriff dept deputy that one night - he said if he owned our beautiful woods, he'd
be out there making sure it wasn't a hunting ground, to protect the families who are our neighbors...
but he told me, respectfully, that he would never do it without a gun on him. Loaded. With more than one bullet...
the reason was, that if you ever run into a person on whatever drug(s) he mentioned, he said they don't act human,
they have no idea of right and wrong, and that they are like rabid animals - and very predatory and very dangerous.
They run into them on all sorts of occasions.
It's so odd, that some people who insist that the 2nd Amendment be eliminated, and that guns be taken away...
just as much insist that all illegal use drugs be legalized.
I don't get it.

Oh god really? Now you're making some anti guns anti america pro drugs connection??
And Bunkers back being a dumbass?
And ghoolie is doing his usual "Blame the young people! Blame the non believers!"
Ugh...

We didn't have these issues 30/40 yrs ago. Something in society has changed that cause or drive people to do these types of things. Is violence in video games and TV etc a possible cause or contributing factor. I think its possible that it could be. I don't think Cysko's argument is without merit. I like video games, I have played many of them over the yrs and watched violent movies too. Its possible if someone has some sort of weakness, be it emoitional, or mental etc could have issues that were say dormant in previous generations to do what people were exposed to back then. If you are going to find the root cause of these types of incidents you have to look at societal factors in my opinion, whats changed in the last 30/40 yr that lead to such things. And we have been exposed to more violence in video games and media. Not saying its the cause, but its certainly something worthy to consider.
