What it was that made James Holmes go nuts.

@Imperious:

The greater acts of evil were NOT committed in the past due to lack of education out of ignorance. The greatest acts of evil have almost always been the exclusive realm of well-educated intelligent people. And I’m pretty sure some of those guys read the classics and not comic books.

Wrong. You need to look at the aggregate and stop looking for these famous ‘examples’ of human depravity. Without equivocation, the total sum of evil in History were committed by ignorant, uneducated, and low grade humanity.

Right. The violence in the classics is far more brutal. For example, the Iliad describes Achilles dragging Hector’s dead body with his chariot around the walls of Troy….

These episodes offer more insight to the human condition than overweight dudes in yellow tights prancing around with capes in the streets. One makes you think, the other turns off the mind and creates children’s fantasy.

Surprisingly enough, this has some merit and is worth discussing. But, since I’ve just downed half a bottle of brandy I have neither the ability nor the desire to do so at this time. Soon though.

@Mallery29:

When did the World Wildlife Fund ever start wearing tights and dumb yellow shoes?  :wink:

Save the animals, kill humans!

IL, how did you come to the conclusion that the most crime were made by “ignorant, uneducated, and low grade humanity”???

Don’t think on average, many criminals had access to education or came from a background that didn’t push them to do better, hence they took the wrong path to make up for deficient skills as they had no other way to do better.

His personal [edited] ideology of course. Smiley

You should really stick with more “Hitlers Gas bill threads” and identifying Japanese with the first three letters…. :roll:

And this would be because, on average, the people were kept poor and starving by the aristocracy, who through merely being born in the right house were entitled to taking everything the average person had and grinding their spirits to dust. This is the legacy of your educated class.

baahaahaa. How does that answer work for you in today’s age?

Being born in America, as oppossed to Nigeria.  Pretty much the same.

Nice to fit in yet another slam on America seemingly out of nowhere without any relevance to anything remotely connected to anything.

Here is another: Hows that Canada medal count working for you?  Nice to see they tie with Netherlands for total. And they even have 1 gold! Awesome!

I think Gargantua should be considered a flame and fluff.

would like the discussion to continue un-intterupted or abated.

It might if you stop trying so hard to be part of the conversation by answering for others who directed their claims to me, not you.
