Scottish⑦Canuck Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 http://www.academia....e_United_States There is another very informative article. Which lists 'media' as having been one of three criteria for 28 mass murders. The other two being the individual was male and lived in the United States since the 1970s.

Bombastik der Teutone Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Disgusting. America needs to implement strict gun control laws. I don't understand why so many of their citizens feel the need to own a firearm, and then defend their sale and use, even after an event like this. Stupid beyond belief... And how can you do something like that to anyone, never mind young children, who don't have a hope in hell of defending themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I am furious. I can't believe this low life could ruin so many lives and take the lives of these precious little children. And the coward killed him self after. I would love to be locked in a cell with this guy. I'd beat the crazy out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus099 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This is pretty much the stupidest ant-gun control argument of all the stupid anti-gun control arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This is getting pretty friggin ridiculous. I'm just going to stop reading your articles, because I'm tired of looking for your own evidence. In the link you provided, the authors argue (and this is all in the Results section of the article, I've made it easy for you since you seem to struggle with this kind of thing) that financial stressors were a common link between mass murderers. The article also emphasizes hegemonic masculinity, something I don't agree with, but in any case, the authors argue that these mass murders result from man's attempt to 'save face' so to speak. Part of this hegemonic masculinity is related to social problems. Note, social problems, not social media problems. Such problems included bullying, racism, and SOCIAL ISOLATION (again, wouldn't social media be helpful in this case???? It would allow people to connect with others). Finally, the motivations for mass murder, as suggested in the article, are very diverse. There is no one motivation, but typically motivations have to do with strain (i.e. failure to obtain goals). Another common motivation is simply a fascination with weaponry (YAY GUN CONTROL!!). Normally I wouldn't be so condescending, or would at least apologize after it, but this is such a goddamn ridiculous argument. I should shoulder some of the blame, because the real issue here is that many families are going to have the worst Christmas of their lives. Many children won't get to even experience the Christmas they had been looking forward to seeing. That should be the focus of this thread, and I apologize for getting away from that.

Dellins Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 you seriously think gun laws would prevent criminals from getting their hands on them? lol whatever makes you feel better, they can pretty much get anything they want with a simple phone call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Bullying, racism and social isolation are all social aspects which relate directly to social media sites. Nobody made a racial comment on a social media site? has nobody been bullied on Facebook??? If you wanted to you could all remove a friend on Facebook right? Well there's your social isolation which can occur and solidifies my point that media sites such as Facebook and twitter can NOT ONLY have damaging media glorification effects but damaging social effects as well. Social problems can be directly related to social media. As well the media glorification. So it's seems that social media has the 'best' of both worlds.
