"Every single person who has ever joined or will ever join the army has been and will be damaged in the process. You can't train a person to kill (on command) and expect him/her to remain a balanced, healthy individual."
Wow... that is a very bold statement... everyone, without exception, who used to be in the army, is unstable..
An astounding thing to say...[/QUOTE]
You really need to learn to read a little better. I don't say that they are all completely unstable, I say that they are all, to some extent, damaged, and that being trained to kill threatens your mental health.
This is the same problem you and I have in the atheism topic - you read something, and instead of responding to what is written, you come up with deductions on the basis of what you see written, and respond to those deductions, which are yours, not those of the person to whom you believe to be responding. I don't think this is a matter of ill will on your behalf, but I do think it's a flaw in your analytical reading.

I honestly do take it all back. It was one of does weeks when you're just pissed off at everything, and you just want everyone to fuck off. Looking back at it, I guess I shouldn't have posted anything to begin with. The tragic thing about all this is that there are 5 people dead including the killer when there could have been zero if he was helped from the very beginning when he started showing signs of PTSD [/QUOTE]
Yep, you're right to admit it though. Saying it's OK to go killing people because the LAPD is corrupt is a definte no no! Having said that, I heard they were going to investigate the manner of that guy's sacking because if there are things that could have been done better, then the LAPD should still learn from them to minimise the risks of someone else who is unhinged doing a similar thing.
The other thing they gotta do in The States is take as many guns out of circulation as possible. It's too easy for loonies to get hold of them and kill innocent people. We got rid of a lot of guns in Oz after the Port Arthur massacre in 1997. We then got rid of a lot of pistols after the shooting on a Victorian university campus.
Our gun death rate is less than half of what if was before those two moves and we've had no massacres since either. Yet our death rate from guns is still around 4 times as high as the UK, so we're far from perfect.
The other thing is that the gun deaths from suicide is the larger portion in the reduction in gun deaths since the changes to the laws were made. Not sure how those now undead people went with knives and rope....lol. Hopefully they just took another valium and got over it.

Here I thought my father and grandfather are fine admirable, people. I guess I was wrong.
