This post was a complete mess, so I attempted to clean it up a bit by correcting several mistakes in spelling and grammar - but it is still very strange. And I could not understand exactly what is being asked of…"

Firstly I would preface this with an apology. With Internet problems, schoolwork and my own procrastinations, I have failed to be as active as I intended. Before I pit you against each other to battle to the death in a futile attempt to avoid your own enviable decent into eternal agony and torment, ... I mean uhh, ask a controversial topic... or something... I need to give you a little background on my situation. I am a psychopath. I manipulate people. I like to mess with people's heads for…See More

My life changed today. I'm in a new town, with a new school, and what I thought would be 3 more years of school turn out to be 2 thanks to some fancy course arrangement. I feel like helping people. For the first time in my life I want to do good, simply for the pleasure of it. And for the fist time in years I am truly optimistic.See More

Aya replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Empathy and understanding of a person's mindset and actions, while noble pursuits, do not provide an ability in relegating responsibility of such mindsets and actions to a certain party. Placing of blame and responsibility requires a…"

Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause.
Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
Aya replied to Aya's discussion The ethical implications of "Temporal Isolation""From the last three lines of your post, I'm assuming you are applying the "better safe than sorry" mentality to life-rights over all of time.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
