re: 17 Years Ago the Columbine Massacre happened

When he said, "we didn't actually get that far, did we" shows how undeveloped the immature mind is. Don't get me wrong, these kids definitely know what they're doing, but maybe they don't truly see the full effect because they're so young

This is why it is so easy to amass an army of willing young men to go to their deaths in a foreign war. An immature mind thinks it is going to be a heroic adventure. Some people are motivated by duty, but let's be real - a lot of 18 year old guys think they're going to have a glorious adventure. An immature, but less virtuous, mind - of the type that Harris and Klebold had - concocts a plan like Columbine and thinks "we'll show everyone how bad arse and extreme we are, die in a blaze of glory, and be remembered forever, yarr!" And as stupid as it sounds to us as adults in our offices, to them it was a glorious idea they put a year of prep work into.
