Energy transfer kills people. We should have mandatory checks for every energy transfer in nature and deep inspection of the energy packet.
Lousy kinetic energy!

And why is it so? Maybe because of attitudes like this:Also, you will hardly find a country with more firearms per person than Switzerland. But it does not appear too prominent inside the statistics - in fact, it only has one spree killing at all in history.
[...]freedom EQUALS responsabiliy. The free man is willing - wanting - to answer for his actions.[...]We must learn to live as adults, taking responsability for our action because only a good dose of self-discipline can bring real security.[...]
I thought our laws were tough, but I just did some reading and I believe you may be right.Germany is a country with the strictest gun control laws in the world.
Boy was 'arrogant, not aggressive'

"That the 17 year old fired shots while already on the run, is a behavior, which he can learn in computer games like Counterstrike or Crysis."
Or in the groin, like that guy on Worlds Dumbest:lol:but rather shoot himself in the foot...
Here it goes again... CounterStrike (which is a bloody boring game anyway) does NOT teach you how to operate a gun, it is highly unrealistic and allows for such things as jumping and firing a heavy sniper rifle at the same time... If the killer learned from CounterStrike, he would not be capable of killing 16 persons, but rather shoot himself in the foot...
I do not feel sorry for them, as well as not for the sick bastard who did it yesterday. Why can't those madmen just take a rope and do it silently and quickly themself...
Interesting today: The police found dozens of really violent horror movies (which the guy should legally not own) in his room, and a single FPS computer game on his PC (CounterStrike, which he can legally own in Germany).
Of course, CounterStrike is responsible for turning him into a spree killer. To quote the director of the German foundation for crime prevention: "That the 17 year old fired shots while already on the run, is a behavior, which he can learn in computer games like Counterstrike or Crysis."
That attitude (you not feeling sorry for this guy, insensitivity in general) is why these things happen. Obviously you haven't been misunderstood and rejected by society. It can easily drive anyone to do things like this.

:hesaid:And before anyone applies this logic to my post above, I can say that I have not exactly had the easiest of lives - probably not too dissimilar to the guy in Germany yesterday. I have also played computer games since I was 5 years old. I have even felt suicidal on occasion. But I have never considered harming anyone else - even the people who picked on me all through school.
What they always fail to mention are the millions upon millions of people who play computer games who don't go on mad killing sprees.
