Have you, like me, wondered why we are having so many gun crimes? These mass shootings are so odd. All of a sudden kids are killing a lot of people, then offing themselves. That would have been the farthest thing from my mind in my youth. It’s just plain strange.
I have read, fwiw, that much of this is caused by the violence children watch on t.v. and, also, on their video games.
I know that studies were conducted on that and that was their conclusion.
I grant you studies seem to prove whatever anyone wishes...otoh, I can’t figure out any better reason. Children do become what they are taught and exposed to, that much is a fact.
I’m also certain that the breakdown in the family unit has much to do with this, as well, and, naturally, removal of God and Christian values from just about everything is most likely the main cause of this, as children raised without values will fill up with bad values.
I think that the kids killing people and committing suicide is an after effect of the pharmacopia that they are exposed to, both prescribed and illegally procured.
Most of the mind altering drugs that kids take have the affect of suppressing the production of seratonin, causing long term depressin, which is again treated with another mind altering drug, which doesn’t work after a period of time. When the anti-depressants stop working, the side effecrts kick in and the kid is likely to try anything. Thank goodness most of them don’t start killing people.
