what is the world coming to

It saddens me everytime I see things like this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21628248

Girl, 14, guilty of football row manslaughter

Girl, 14, 'set up boy's stabbing'
A 14-year-old girl has been found guilty of arranging the killing of a "kind, ambitious and humble" schoolboy after a row over football.

Its hard enough knowing what somebody has done to you, but how can somebody actually do something like this. Things like this really annoy me and are very upsetting.

What is the world coming to? Will Zombies kill us or will we kill ourselves?

Re: what is the world coming to

This is what you get when morality is removed from society. people grow up without morals and have kids who have even less morals and scruples than their parents and crap like this and the proliferation of knives amongst youngsters is the result.

It's easy to blame the kids who did this, but the responsibility for the decline in morality in society to the point that kids don't think twice about stabbing another kid lies with all of us!

Re: what is the world coming to

The more people there are, the more such murders there will be. However, overall violence has been declining for hundreds of years and is still declining today. I recommend a TED talk by Steven Pinker on the decline of violence.

So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time — life and death — stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand.

Re: what is the world coming to

the fact that the human brain does not fully develop until we reach 25, may have something to do with it.. though we are mostly all taught wrong from right at an early age.

don't worry Wolvie I hate football so would not kill anyone over it :smt058

Section Admins - who will be 'in charge' of the section in question. They will be responsible for the overall feel of the section, the setup/structure, and most importantly the community/users in the section. This will incorporate the old 'ombudsman' role. And insofar as the Section Admin is responsible for the users, they are also responsible for the high level mod behaviour towards the users.
So -as a user - if you have an issue with how you are treated, rules, bans, whatever --goto the section admin... They are there for you!

There is no 'reporting structure' in this setup -- tech, mod, and section admins are all on equal footing, each with their own (somewhat overlapping) responsibilities.
Mods report directly to the mod admin, and indirectly to the section admin for the section in which they mod.

This is spot on. The violence quantity loses all shock value when the population gets to a certain point. Thinking of Detroit having almost as many homicides so far this year as Chicago yet they only have a micropenis of the population :)

A stabbing in Detroit should have exponentially higher shock yet in truth it has exponentially lower shock value. Figure that one out.

Sure. That explains all those 50 year old warlords and Clint Eastwood. Oh wait. It does not.

Youth hiding behind the excuse "but my brain is not completely developed yet" should be removed from society and interned in reeducation camps where the failed upbringing they got from their then-absent-now-worried parents can be corrected. Damned parents should **Filtered** raise their own children instead of delegating that to so-called-professionals-who-are-actually-cheap-labourers-without-skills, some **Filtered** who has no connection at all to those kids.

Logic is not fully developed till the 20's. This is not an excuse for this crap, but it is a fact.

100 years ago, the girl had a 50/50 chance of being killed too, and the parents would weep, noone else would know or even care. But now because we have a camera we can show it to the world every time someone dies. There was a day where you had the right to kill someone just because they spat on your name.

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.
