Sack Sky and donate to GOT...donations are needed
As the world mourns the dead from yet another school atrocity, the head count appearing to rise with each incident, it occurs to me that on each occasions the culprit, nutter, murderer, call him what you will is a male. Why is this so?
Have the stresses and strains of puberty become so stressful that there has become an underlying urge in many more lads to commit such crimes, although clearly only a modicum ever react in this fashion? The media are blaming the gun culture in the USA, whilst this is certainly a contributing factor the need to commit must come before the means. I wonder whether or not the media themselves have a part to play in this tragedy by setting out expectations for lads today, by ridiculing failure, by making absolute toss pots into heroes and making success seem so unachievable. Nothing will ever positively pin point the actual cause of each event but the one common denominator is that all have been carried out by young men.
Anyone got any thoughts on this subject please?
