Video games?
Facebook?
Twitter?
Reality tv?
24 hour cable news?
Opposition to a political party?
Easy access to ADHD meds and even easier to skip day(s) on depression meds?
Parental involvement or lack thereof?
Help me figure it out. Just got word a 2nd cousin died of drug OD. Hadn't seen him since 1990...i wanna know what happened.

Society has been violent since the beginning of mankind

I honestly think we just notice violence more now.
Some of you may remember the extremely bloody Howard Johnston terror shooting in New Orleans (1973) and the Univetsity of Texas shooting (1966).
Drug abuse has been a problem for a long time.
Gang violence has been a problem a long time.
We aren't in uncharted water here. We just have 24 hour news cycles.

People have always been like this. We just hear about it more these days.

I agree. More media.
But what makes us this way?

Awful, awful parenting and how it has become taboo to shame awful, awful parenting.

No idea. That's a complicated question.

Human civilization has always been violent.

Chris Rock summed it up years ago: "Whatever happened to crazy?".

This is where I point out that we are living in the most peaceful/least violent times in history.

I remember a kid got caught with a gun in middle school. It wasn’t on the news, no grief counselor, no letters to parents. They just kicked the kid out.

The dawn of time?
Only morons blame video games and tv and the like.
School shootings are actually down in recent years, but who needs facts?
