  Where guns aren't available the weapon of choice for mass killings is the knife:

  Is it really a "gun problem" or a "people problem?"

  Nature is amazing :)

  i studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.

  result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.

  pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

  Quote from _Morpheus:

  Do dogs and wolves look ANYTHING alike??? Do they behave in similar ways??? Do they live in similar social structures???

  Thankfully, for us Dog Lovers, Dogs come in all shapes and sizes; Wondrous diversity! But the Truth is in the DNA. Dogs and Wolves do mate and have offspring which in turn mate and produce offspring. Wolves in fact may be the Loveliest of all Dogs.

  In answer to your question above: They do, actually. Their body language is identical.

  Some Wolves are naturally attracted to humans and can be easily domesticated. Studies on the Origins of Dogs seems to indicate that Dogs have come from Wolves:

  Quote from Simon:

  Authority is needed to set boundaries and train people to respect them. Just like training a dog, a lack of authority is often the cause of errant behaviour.

  Authority does well with youth who have "normal" conscience and senses of compassion and the ability to empathize. Unfortunately, it does not work with those who seem to lack conscience or compassion. The Psychopath is immune to structured efforts to instill such values.

  What’s your favorite "News" website?

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  news in general are supposed to be unbiased.

  but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.

  any favorites?.

  My favorite among the many would be RT. It is very refreshing to see news and programming which encourages Critical Thinking and discusses many topics that the MSM won't touch. Rather reminds me of the "good old days" in America when Journalism was real.

  Quote from Dub Stepped:

  I am an atheist now. That doesn't mean that I'm opposed to the concept of a god, it just means that I don't see the evidence for one. I would LOVE for there to be a god. I would LOVE to know that I was created with a purpose.

  Then you will not be disappointed when All is Revealed in Due Time. The WTBorg Cult Inc. version of what is to come is quite twisted. The beautiful thing about what is coming is that All Will Be Made Whole and Well. None will be forgotten or left out.

  Quote from Smiddy 3:

  You do make some good points Old Navy but obviously not all people who play these games and watch these movies act out with them otherwise we would all really be up shit creek.

  Agreed. It is truly a fortunate fact that most who indulge in such games are not tempted to act out what they indulge in within the games. But the question remains: Why do we have those kinds of video games which are heavy in violence and killing? Or movies and television programs which portray violent killing and death with impunity? In the early days (until the late 1060s) of movies and television there wasn't so much of an obsession with violence, murder and mayhem as it is done these days.

  Is there a connection or not? Where do those who do the shootings and other mass murder events get their ideas? How are they learning how to do it with maximum effectiveness before being either killed or apprehended?

  Quote from Smiddy3:

  How long will this madness continue before the authorities come to grip with it and find the solution ?

  Quote from Silent Buddha:

  The solution to the problem is to figure out and treat the issues that are leading th ese children to want to kill.

  Some of the most popular Video Games played by male youth involve shooting and killing a "target" with very realistic Computer Generated Images of the damage done to a body by a bullet or even more powerful weapons. Once a young man is desensitized to human death and bloodshed then there is too frequently a desire to move to the "next level."

  Many TV programs and movies now glorify rebellious behaviors and feature very bloody scenes of death and mayhem.

  These sorts of visual/audio stimuli are a recent development in the evolution of the Western Way of Life. Is it really any wonder that some youth choose to "act out" what they've seen?
