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?

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!

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.

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

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.
