Answer honestly. What do you think is the biggest contributor to violence, and why do you think what you do?

There are so many contributors, I don't think there is a wrong answer. But I want to know what people think, on an individual level, is the very biggest.

This is for school. I have to give a presentation, and people are going to ask...

salmonmax:
I think one big cause is that in a culture based on instant gratification, violence is often the quickest and easiest means to getting what you want. Wheter that is some tangible object or making another person do as you want. More and more it seems this country (and its citizens) base decision making purely on emotional, knee-jerk reactions. Informed decisions are quickly becoming a relic.

T.V. It's the devil you know. wink

Actually, I think alot of it is bad parenting. It seems to me most parents out there are doing a piss poor job. They don't care enough, or are "too busy" to teach their kids any values.
This trend in parenting that tells parents to use "time outs" and, god forbid you SPANK your child, is rediculous.
Even at kid's sporting events there is no "loosing" team. They're afraid of anybody getting their feelings hurt. It's crap!
People are effctivley removing everything that builds carachter and makes them better adjusted people, from they're childrens lives. Then they pump kids full of mood altering drugs to correct problems that would never arose if it weren't for poor parenting.

I'll shut up now, otherwise I'll start ranting about even more stuff. whatever

My first college class. My first college paper. And I was one of two people in my class to get an A+.

I was really bursting at the seams when I got my paper back. When the professor handed it to me, he said, This was a really sexy paper, and smiled. Thats a crazy thing for a teacher to say about a politically themed...

Hooray hooray hooray!

I took East Asian Civ last semester and was REALLY panicked because my teacher used to work for the State department. So he has actually BEEN to the places we were learning about. I wrote a research paper on geisha and got a 95! I almost peed my pants.

This is here to remind myself to write about identity, growing up, and how amazing I find it when people still cling to their emo glasses and ripped-up jeans.

Yes, it is fun to reinvent yourself! But I think one should never grow up fully, because when you do, you give up on things that drive you! skull

"It's only incest if the tits touch" is the new "It's only gay if the balls touch". Well, whatever. Other pornographers have done worse, and I've certaintly seen more shocking things on the internet.

School goes well,. I'm taking a State and Local government class., and it's very interesting.

Work = drama. Very competative environment right now. I called one guy a sleezeball for having...

I've been crazy-busy lately.

I finally have a student ID. This is a passive way of saying I'm finally accepted / doing college. I'll be doing one summer class, and I'll also be doing four classes in the fall. This means I will be fulltime school and fulltime work.

Add to this that I asked (applied?) to be a photographer for SG on an intern/PT...

Okay, first shippment of eyebrow rings are IN, and I'm letting you folks out in SG-land have the first crack at them. They are $5 each with $1 shipping. If you buy 2 or more, shipping is free. I have a wide selection, everything from UV (glows in blacklight) to multi-colored to clear colored 16 gauge spikes and balls. These things cost $20 - $25...

Over the past weekend, I kept getting, at various times of day (and evening), a strange woman ringing my apartment through the intercom. I've gotton this at least three times before tonight, and I heard one of the roommates complaining about it, also. Our apartment complex is pretty new, with the main door locked to the apartment building to keep the rucus out, and tenents...

ANOTHER EDIT: Here's my fucking petition. Sign it, asshole. http://www.petitiononline.com/stfuslut/petition.html

EDIT: Lollerskates, Voltaire just became one of my fave SG's. (FYI, I join the thread later under the name 'mindslide'.)

I'm getting harrassed by a stupid twat. I figure I'll post this here, since some of my SG friends list may know of this stupid twat.
She used to be a model here, and she's...

nopantsdave:
I exchanged journal/board messages with her a few times when she was still an SG. I never really talked to her that much. She always kinda annoyed me on the boards though because she always had a cult-following of worshippers who thought she could never do anything wrong. I was kinda glad to see her go because she seemed to undeservingly overshadow so many of the other girls/members.

Off to sign your petition....biggrin
squire:
Man, I just checked out the livejournal stuff. Sooo creepy. The way she is talking about the hellokitty pics earlier this month and now this appeal in the name of children or whatever . . . sketch.

Oh. I just happened upon your profile today. Hope you don't mind. Just checking out the other MAD/MLKE SG folks. No lurker, I.

FINALLY! My old roommate paid for half of the damages! Now for the other half...^_^

Leah was throwing an SG party tonight, which I had planned on coming to, but I apparently slept through my alarm clock, my boyfriend tugging me awake, and my cellphone. I was just way exhausted today. I can't wait till I'm on the dayshift. Working swing is kicking my ass....
