I’ve been getting away with dropping cinder blocks on people my entire life due to Tetris.

I like standing on overpasses and flicking pennies at rush hour personally…lol

I had a couple buddies who tossed a rock on the overpass into the windshield of a passing trucker. The guy straight up flipped a U turn in a semi on the highway and drove the wrong way up the on-ramp and chased them down. They both grew up to be respectable members of society.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

The fact that people who are predisposed to crazy, and violent behavior can find each other on the internet is not a benefit to society. Would Q-anon, or the Proud Boys be a thing if the internet wasn't around. Would January 6th have happened? Would there have been night after night of violent rage filled mobs in Portland for a whole year? 

For all the benefits of living in the age of the internet , there sure are some drawbacks. I really think the internet has made us collectively dumber in a lot of ways because misinformation and lies spread 10x faster than the truth.

The topic is never gang violence with you guys, and that’s the problem. All you ever focus on is what you don’t like, the right wing influence. I don’t like it, either, but you act like it’s the only problem in America when it comes to violence. 

Start a thread.

I had a school bus driver when I was 6 years old that chain smoked Camels on a 45 minute bus ride to school.  A bus full of kids with second hand smoke, and the parents didn't give a shit.

Times were different when we grew up I guess. 

sounds like a big societal improvement there

When I was 16, my friend and I would fill up tub of water balloons on a summer day and drive around mostly nailing people our age. But sometimes we’d push the envelope with cars. One time an old Ford pick was approaching us going the other direction and we nailed his windshield.

That dude flipped a U and came after us like a mad hornet driving fast and crazy to catch up. We tried to lose him, but he wouldn’t cool off and give up. Finally he got close enough and we could see that half his windshield was busted out. We were like “Holy Shit we’re in trouble!!” So we pulled over, and ended up paying for it.

Step 1.  Stop  wasting your life playing video games.

Step 2. Stop jerking off to Internet porn.

Step 3.  Buy some nice clothes

Step 4. Take a shower, get a decent haircut and shave

Step 5 Find some place where there are some girls.

Step 6. Go there and talk to them. Find your level, develop a reasonable game

It’s that easy. It makes you want to strangle these +++++ing dorks. 

Speaking as a former dirtbag...

 

It is much much easier than that

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

People play violent video games all around the world, but we seem to be unique with these issues

This is the classic dumb comebacker that the left has been saying forever on violent video games despite it making no sense at all. America has a unique violent culture all its own. Other countries are just spectators to our gun and violence culture, and don’t live it like we do. Other countries don’t have street gangs that we do, not do they have a culture that glorifies violence.

It makes perfect sense, since numerous studies have been done showing that video games don't increase violent behavior at all.

 

Now, your point about glorifying violence and guns may be closer to accurate than the rest of your drivel.

So, personal responsibility is the answer? Lol.

Pretty much. In the end it comes down to something my boss tells us after every morning safety brief. “Don’t be assholes to each other, help someone else out whenever you can” For us it’s mostly tongue 👅 n cheek stuff because we have a pretty tight group of guys, but it’s sound advice. Help people out if you see them in distress, don’t let them go down the rabbit hole of internet distress. Also you have a responsibility to reach out and ask for help if you’re in trouble. Personal responsibility is not a bad thing ever.

We know how problematic that part is though.  Which is why we need to promote actually talking to people, friends or professionals.  Being shamed into silence because "just deal with it" and therapy-is-for-the-weak logic needs to be reversed, but it will take a while to do so.  Certainly something that fathers and mentors need to teach.  I say those because most of the time, the issue is men and mentors are the ones developing the "deal with it" attitude in our society (don't shoot the messenger, folks).  Of course women can be in that group too.  I always enjoy seeing athletes, war Veterans, hell, even Terry Crews, discuss the need to seek help when they are going through things.  I don't put them on some pedestal, but their audience is vast, and if it helps someone in the community seek assistance, that is good.

I had to learn how to reach out after I retired from the Marine Corps. It wasn’t easy. All my life up to that point I was told to “ rub some dirt on it and walk it off” by my Grandfather, Dad, uncles and coaches. Then I join the Marine Corps and that advice gets taken to a whole other level. Don’t go to BAS unless you’re dying, don’t show pain. Emotions are for pussies. That’s why so many of us walk around now physically broken and emotionally screwed.

It took about 8  or so years after I got out to talk about my attitude on Memorial Days.  I feel ya man.  I was able to handle it at SDSU since there was a massive Veteran population on campus, so having them around was good, but when I was away from them it was just me and my thoughts.  Now I try and and always be available for folks to talk about anything with no judgement from me.  Not sure if it helps anyone but I feel it is only right to do it, and I would hate to lose someone and not have been there for them at least a bit.  And what I hope is that it maybe lets others know that doing the same doesn't make you a pussy, it just makes you human.

Anyway, my take on the whole thing is in the absence of good religion and the deterioration of the family and other social institutions people get weird. Communities suck now. Look at the deterioration of our social lives. No one goes to church, no one is part of clubs or charitable organizations anymore. People give far less of themselves than they used to and have much less responsibility and and accountability to others. Getting drunk with the boys at the VA or Eagles or Elks or whatever is far healthier than sitting alone looking at fake pictures of other people's lives on social media hating yourself and everything around you. It's the Internet's and social media's fault. True social media (not anonymous message boards) is insidious garbage to the soul. Truly. Sorry to say, but there is no turning back and society is royally +++++ed. Look at Japan! Weird +++++s that stay alone and talk to robots and shit. This is our future.

Bob makes a good point. Human interaction has gone to hell since the dawn of the internet. Church, Social Clubs and just plain getting your fat ass off the the couch and out of the house and talking to people face to face all had more good points than bad. 
Now too many people hunker down in their homes, and the only human interaction they have outside of immediate family  is at work. That is in no way good for society.

You’re 100% correct, we need to help each other any time we can. Because at the end of the day, it’s ultimately on us. No one understands us better than we do. Well meaning people without our shared experiences don’t have the tools or the insight. 9 times out of 10 it just takes talking to someone who understands us.

@East Coast AztecOne of the things I’ve had to come to grips with was I raised all 4 of my boys the same way my Dad and Grandfather raised me. Between them and the Marine Corps I didn’t know any better, and  it saddens me that I could’ve done it different. Don’t get me wrong, they all turned out to be great people, but I see a lot of me in them when it comes to being emotionless, especially with my third son who is also a Marine. Thankfully I have a second chance with my 3 grandsons.

Personal responsibility/bootstrap mentality is not a bad thing to personally have, but nobody truly believes in it in all circumstances; they just arbitrarily pick and chose when to apply it.
