We have become a spoiled society. People get what they want, whether it is right or wrong, moral or immoral as well as getting away with things they need to be accountable for. And like spoiled little children, when they don't get what they want and or they feel like they were "wronged", evil kicks in.

All that is part of it. The other part is taking God out of society.

Now take a minute and think. Which party is contributing to this?
So your answer is to put God back in society. Do you have a specific god in mind? Is it allah, is it adonai? Or does it have to be that Jesus guy that no one I know believes in.
editing to add - sometimes its the most god fearing that do the killing. Like the recent Atlanta shootings. I could argue that it the belief in god that causes much of the evil deeds.

For the 1,000,000th time. This is why we need gun control.
There is no second amendment Right to shoot and kill people, so don't be ridiculous. We don't need con control, because IT'S ALREADY AGAINST THE FREAKING LAW TO SHOOT PEOPLE!

If it against the law then we should have no more shooting. Yeah, that works.

Not to mention the many more people dying from hammers, blunt weapons, knives, bare hands, car accidents, etc... We need automobile control laws, and hammer control.

I wouldn't say it is about taking God out of society. Although, I do believe it is due to the break down in structure. I'm not religious, but do try to lead my life along the lines of a certain code, which helps me to lead a moral life. Am I perfect, no. But I'm not a criminal either.

Society needs structure, some resort to religions. Some find other types of structure. We all need a path to follow to lead our lives. Many have lost that path and we are seeing the repercussions of it.

Why do you think religion was created in the first place....control.

"Multiple Victims" after mass shooting in Democrat Joe Hogsett's Indianapolis


Ha ha -- mass shooting happens in a deep red state with a Republican governor. "lovecrowds" desperately searches for and finds a Democrat to blame this on -- LOL

Well, since they did say car crashed, that would be approx 3700 people a month, which if far more yearly than all guns combined....

So, it is true, no matter how many times you say it...does not make it true....
