Yeah, all over the news.
20 y/o and virgin, so fucking what?
His surroundings defined that as unacceptable, as surely it wasn't just him not being able to accept that. More than likely, people made fun of him because of that and he couldn't take it anymore.
I know there's something like this in Serbia (let's call it discrimination), like pressure to fuck early, to show that you're alpha man in some way, that you're not loser, not a helpless, litlle boy anymore. But is it a situation on West/America? If yes, why is it like that?
Really depends on the surrounding "miniculture" of the area, or even your living place. It's definitely a positive, as it's something to brag about, but considering that he killed three Asians in which he dubbed "nerds" I don't think it was that type of pressure, more of a self-fufilling thing.
Or is it just because he had basically everything in his life and didn't know what to do anymore, so decided to have some "fun"?
Could be. Sometimes, there is a mentality of you having everything except this, or that.
I'd really liked to see that pussy being poor, without anything to eat and without that BMW (I know it's kind of mental disease but I also do think it has something to do with being rich, "spoon-fed"...He's btw the son of known scenarist and film-maker Petter Rodger).
Actually, that's a good point. It may well be his social status that leads to other men and women not liking to hang out with him. Women aren't all gold diggers these days..
--
If any of you heard the interview with the father of one of the victims, he got real pissed and blabbered about gun control and not learning a lesson after Sandy Hook. I have to disagree with this. I don't think this is an issue that can be solved by gun control, frankly I don't think these issues can be solved at all without rights infringement. At any given time, person A may feel pressure for Group B, etc etc. Ultimately, it is person A who decides if he/she can take it anymore, and makes a choice that I don't think anyone else can influence. It's a slippery slope though. Once you have events like this, there is a "mentality" that this is somehow okay in the minds of the perpetrators because it has been done before. Same with suicide cases.
To summarize, it's unfortunate, but these events are going to take place once in a while out of our control. Condolences to all the families who lost their son/daughter

(going to sound very stupid in 3,2,1...)
Is this about the gunfiring near Santa Barabara (if I remember correct). One from our country (we're 50,000, so we basically know everyone somehow, maybe by their realtives, but this guy, that was part of it, didn't geet shot, my family know pretty well.

Gun possesion laws are screwed. When you will be ready to drop this as your main showing of freedom, your teenagers will stop dying. Culture based on violence is not good

When the right to bear arms were established, it was about People vs Government, much different than the context today. While I do believe taking away rights is a slippery slope, it is kind of hard to prove legitimate uses of firearms in today's world.

Especially when every other western nation has less gun crime/gun related crime. There only a few things in the US i just cannot understand and the gun laws/obsession with guns is one of them

It's hard to take away something people already have and tell them they are the "beacon of freedom" , lol

Indeed, as harsh as it may sound, people don't feel a need to change anything unless it affects them personally..

What the heck is going on in Iraq? I know it has been a critical situation since the war, but what has happened, since it is SO critical as it is now?

That is what you get by killing the dictator, who was somewhat restoring the "order" in Iraq.
USA ripped the country by their silly war and now it is out of control and in hands of real terrorists.

Saddam Hussein maintained a balance of terror. He was from the Sunni minority, but prevented (you don't want to know how) the Sunnis and the Shiites from fighting each other. Just like him his government were all from the Sunni minority.
The first Gulf War was stopped before bringing down Saddam Hussein's government to savage that balance.
In 2003 USA went back to finish the job bulldozered through all of this, not listening to people who had a clue about the different people or religions in that country, so basically it became a mess.
A Prime Minister (Maliki), a Shiite, was elected, and gave all powers to the Shiite. He remained quiet, more or less, as long as the US troops were present.
As soon as they left he started acting like a vicious dictator and a corrupt idiot, and picked at the Sunni minority. Until it reached a breaking point, with riots, an armed conflict, etc.
Jihadists (Sunni) seized the opportunity to join the fight. And the loyal troops are not so loyal, nobody would like to die for Maliki (nor to live under extreme Koran laws).
The big picture is that it's a fight between two Islam currents, a remote fight between Saudi Arabia (Sunnis) and Iran (Shiites), in a country with no serious government at all, and armed militias.

Does anyone here know about the Operation Grindstop? It's about stopping faroese people killing pilot whales. So is anyone here a part of Sea Shepherd or does any support Sea Shepherd or does anyone support faroese people?

Time for the UK and NATO to help the Ukrainian government out and give them the support they have needed for months. Putin is having a field day, he can do what he wants, these sanctions are not working.
The shooting down of a civilian plane is beyond believe and the worst part Russia arm these inhuman separatists. Russia are to blame as much as the separatists for this murdering of innocent people. Time crush it as it is now out of hand and getting worse. There is no excuse for this, time act now.

Who guarantees it was Russians and not Ukrainians? How can you know that? How can you be 100% sure about that? Or is it yet another influence of Western media, as it's clear that West is on Ukraine's side? I am not defending any of these sides, I don't care about any of them actually, just that I find it interesting how everyone thinks it was Russian military/group of terrorists, while it was on Ukraines teritory (close to Russian border, yes, but still).
And I don't think it's coincidence that Israel army is now entering Gaza and are killing tens of people. Perfectly played from America to distract attention from one bad thing (Israel/Palestine) and to constantly point out to another one (Russia/Ukraine).

It was reported here that pro Russian separatists claimed responsibility. I never said I was 100% sure but considering the separatists have been shooting military planes down over the past few days.
But the divide between the west and the east it at its widest since the Cold War now.

Well, I am not sure either, but if you take one radio conversation, which is apparently the only existing "evidence" at the moment, as the thing to blame one side, it's pretty much fucked up. I am pretty sure it's easy to make conversation with my friend and to act it's "evidence" for shooting a rocket at an airplane? That's a story for kids. Western media is once again manipulating with people and what's worst is that they're doing it perfectly. Read the 2nd part of my post above, I edited it.
That's true. I am, however, sure it's because West. Don't you think it's a bit weird that West is trying to make peace in world, but all they do is make even bigger mess? Don't you think the situation between Russia and Ukraine would be much calmer if West didn't decide to react? Did Russia ever did what West does - try to interfere in other countries problems? I am sure the answer on this question is no. Don't you think thousands of lives would be saved if Israel never existed and if America didn't try to make a fake country there, just because one simple reason - oil (this has nothing to do with religion)? See, wherever West appears, problems become even bigger. But, it's kinda hard to explain this to you and to convince you as someone from West and considering the fact that this is very sensitive topic, it's even more pointless.
