i'm not one to usually go on this enviroment and movies/video game shit
but i think people have always considered or thought about going postal or columbine
but it was just pushed to the back of the mind
but when you can jump on COD and have the time of your life literally killing other people in a multiplayer enviroment, or GTA, shoot outs with cops etc, or the movies
the society, as advanced as it has become, still glorifies violence
and people who have no where else to turn, and want to leave a mark instead of just offing themselves... this is the path they choose to take
i remember back in the day kids used to bring shotguns to school in their trucks and shit
but it was just a different time
nothing ever came from it, and they'd be out hunting after school, or before school
our society is being fucked of its values, and its just getting worse and worse as the ever eroding morals are passed on from generation to generation, with each generation getting a shittier version that the generation before
you would think this whole recession/depression might make some people think about the values that some of us got from our parents, who got them from their parents who lived through the great depression
dont waste food or energy or money, dont throw things away if you can fix it
recycle in its most basic form of reusing items and containers that still have some sort of value beyond which they were originally intended.
and as much as i am not one to thump a bible, i think the decline in values, morals and principles goes hand in hand with the lack of religion...
no more scary god to send you to hell if you are bad, so why should you treat other like you want to be treated? why not just be all about yourself, be greedy, ship jobs overseas, make that dollar, who gives a fuck right... its all about you being #1
