A 17year old used his fathers weapon, that seemingly were not properly locked away, to shoot at least 11 people in his former school.
While some people might be quick to jump to conclusions on what caused him going on a gun rampage, I would like to know. what is going wrong in the world.
This kind of school shootings were practically unknown a little over one decade ago and now they are getting increasingly common.

Nothing is happening within people that was not happening before. But with the information revolution, there is a sort of cultural commons now. I am reminded of the line from the movie Primer, "They took from their surroundings what was needed and made of it something more." I think your answer is in that line. The destructive elements of culture evolve alongside the creative, borrowing from their surroundings in similar fashion, and today we have previously unheard of resources to draw upon. It is that much less likely that anything will remain isolated.

In the US, its realtivly easy to get a weapon. I thought Germany had very tough regulations on firearms.
Also, kids see it as an option now. Ever since colubine.
With the international media the way it is, its practially aired as its happening. So you hear about these things more.
Finally, if this happened in Africa. Nobody would care. But it happened in Germany, so it becomes an OMG situation. Heck if it happened in parts of South Central LA people would probably not care as much. Just like real estate Location location location.

Thats because in the 60-70's we had hippies. They give Hugs not bullets. Besides they were too stoned to give a ****.
In the 80-90s we had the GANSTAZ!!. They did all the shootings outside of school
Now we got the EMO's, nuff said.

I challenge anyone to provide credible evidence to show that school shootings are actually more common rather than simply being more publicized.
P.S. There was absolutely nothing unique about Columbine except for a certain famous troll making a film about it. If you believe there was some sort of turning point where these things suddenly became more common, look back at least a few more years.

I remember the days of showing up at school with rifles on our gun rack because we would have plans to go bird hunting after school and the principal wouldn't even so much as flinch.
Even when the school got a SRO he came out and talked to us about guns (as in what he had) and we even got some pretty cool stories from him about his time in vietnam (he served 4 tours as a gunner on a huey).

Sure. Check out this link.
Certainly school shootings go waaay back but they are far more common in the past 15 or so years than ever prior to that.
By my count off that list:
200+ years prior to 1994: 54
1994 - Today (last 15 years): 130

Oh my god! A school shooting not in America!
I predict this one will be ignored by the general media and quickly be swept under the rug. German school shootings? Not news, not enough public hatred fueled to be worthy of the major news networks.

Actually in Britain it is a lead news item like several others that have taken place in Europe in recent years. This sort of thing sells a lot of airtime whenever it happens in a developed country.

Why attack the source?
I know it is chic these days to disown Wiki as worthless but that is a mistake. At the least it is a useful and handy starting point. The list in there is cited extensively. You can go look it all up separately if you want. If you are suggesting they made all those up that is crazy. If you have issue with anything on the list or the entire list then debunk the data and not the site carrying the data.
You were called out on your challenge and proved wrong. If you want to re-assert your case then it is up to you to provide more compelling data. Barring that I think it is safe to say school shootings are more common these days.
And who cares if a historically trivial event has an article there? It is Wiki...written by anyone and everyone. So someone thought Yang Xin deserved an article. Big deal.

After giving the matter some thought, I believe it is a sign of moral bankruptcy.
The cause are not weapons, violent computer games or TV news, or any other scapegoat politicians will eagerly provide, but that the fundaments of human society are about to break apart.
In another thread someone asked why EVE is hated, and others replied that EVE is like RL without killing and Clones. I do not think the argument is entirely true but there is a grain of truth. What is happening is the world is a major ****up.
Banks are scamming thousands of people out of their money and most people in leading positions, politics or economy are devoid of any morals and only interested in keeping their power and increasing their wealth. It doesn't matter how much damage they cause to others, since other people are only abstract numbers to them and it only matters what they can get.
And these people are the only ones, the Kids can look up to. Not the hard working people, are the role model, but the manager that increases his salary during billion dollar fusion by a few 100% or the politician with flexible or not existing morals and a strong elbow.
In a MMORPG you can decide to stop your accounts and in this ****ed up world it seems, some people decide to leave with a Bang. It doesn't matter how much grief they cause to other people.

Your theory fails in that people were not doing this 20 years ago. When Columbine happened people were in shock, now its almost normal to hear about another one. To deny that this has become a problem is quite shallow. As for a destructive culture... thats debatable. Killing haphazardly with no definitive motive is new, and it is disgusting.
Trully as the OP said, what is happening?

What is wrong with the world? I can tell you but you probably won't like it, the term "money is the root of all evil" is completely true, it's existance shapes the society of the whole world, it has sucked people in that much that people actually believe that there is no alternative and that without money humans would lose motivation to live or contribute, this of course is hilarious.
Let's switch to education, your education comes with a catch, the whole time you are at school you are spoonfed an education to make you competitive in monetary society, you are also corruptly graded on the work you do to highlight potential failures to the system, this then of course ends up with certain people being left behind because they can not adapt as quickly to certain aspects of what they are being taught, after the first few years of school it soon becomes aparrent that the education has caused massive divides between children, this then has a devestating effect as human beings become seperate entities instead of one group united in a common goal, of course some people suffer more than others and resort to awful things like shooting a load of people, the populous then screams "execute the bastard" when what they should be saying is "another victim of a sick society", throw religion into this mix and you have even more of a problem. Humans should work together and not against each other.

Too many people living their life on the internet!
They go out into the real world and realise they don't have super powers, they're not some world dominating genius, they're not a super stud and generally in the scheme of things a stranger in the street doesn't give a toss who you are.
The realisation hits that the fittest bird in the school isn't going to look at you twice no matter how cool geeks are in the modern era and they go around killing women because they can't get laid.
If that applies to anyone here have a wash lose the computer speak set your sites lower and be nice to women and you won't have to sit brooding at home with your tackle in your hand staring at your toy AK47.

I wouldn't rule out a psychotic break. Perhaps he developed schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, or any of a number of other disorders that cause him to "go crazy". By most accounts, he was acting fairly normally up until shortly/right before this happened. So I wouldn't be surprised if something snapped in him that triggered this. Of course, having easy access to guns didn't help, but I doubt anything beyond his own brain chemistry can be blamed for it.

And the media is throwing more oil on the "games are bad" fire by reporting he had Counterstrike on his PC. And mentioning slightly on the side he also had an obsession with air pressure guns but of course you can't point the blame at that.
What's wrong with the world? In my opinion the social stigma resting on mental health and the poor treatment of people in the early stages of developing any disorders. Mind and body are one and affect each other so why so many medical professionals still don't take it seriously is beyond me. Although the blame goes to anyone who took notice of the boy's strange behavior but chose to ignore it.
Edit: News stating now the boy had been putting depressed messages on his netlog for a good while now.

The world is a continuum of probabilities. Unfortunately, sooner or later someone will become crazy. Then there is the existence of of hand held kinetic weapons designed to kill human beings with high efficiency. Accidents will happen.
As regards human nature, think about the millions of students who didn't run amok yesterday. School killings are a non-issue that tell you nothing about the human condition except that it's possible.

And here we go again in the news and the politics, superficial conclusions and analytical abortions. No one even tries to find out what motivated the kid to start shooting or how he became like that. There's more to a life than a game or a gun.
There is no interest in a real discussion from the political side. It'd uncover the neglect and rot failed policies in education and social motivation they produced. It'll all be pompous populist speeches demanding more control, more restrictions, more laws, less freedom, as always. And then nothing of significance is done until the next time.

I was not, because it had already happened several times previously. When I saw it on the news, my reaction was "Oh, another one. Wow, mega bodycount this time. That will be a hard act to follow." Most people think the phenomenon began that day. It did not. Maybe a certain movie helped that false perception along. I bet the killers would be flattered though.

What is wrong with the world? 'Western' people believing they are superiour to the rest of the world. Thousands of people die everyday in far worse conditions and some school shooting gets attention.
Want to see what's wrong with the world? Go to Afghanistan, Iraq, Burma, Indonesia, Somalia, Gaza, Zimbabwe, etc. You will realise that that school shooting is nothing compared to the mass amount of suffering that goes on in the world. The only reason people feel it's so bad is because 'Westerners' believe they are better than everyone else and deserve attention rather than the millions who have died so far in Somalia.

Of course, but normality is a relative thing. Some guy taking a car and spraying bullets around the streets before a stand-off with police is news in the US and EU, but when it happens in South Africa, it is a case of "that's not news, you would expect it to happen over there." That is the way we evaluate these things.

lol I'm a geek as well mate but there is a line.
There is normal geeks like us and there is blurry line geeks. There are a lot of those in EVE and lurking across the internet. Too much internet and not enough RL skews perception. You don't have as many sensory inputs which means people cna mess with your mind more easily.
The key is balance.
Oh yeh I'm not all that fussy about size when it comes to women within reason either. It all feels good.

I think it is just a mental health issue. It seems he had received some treatment. Figures. If something like that is going to materialise in a person, it usually shows up in their late teens or early twenties. It is like a developmental hurdle, most make it, some don't.

Agreed fully,
But you will find due to a large social stigma applied to Geeks or anything of intellectual value.
That social rejection is normal, and it some case`s accepted.
Actually what should be happening is the reversal, geeks are very useful social tools.
they are and can act like the glue between class divides, they can keep the lower class and those less fortunate with up-to-date information about the world around them. As well as social trends that are happening. while increasing the intelligence of less privileged. In such case`s like myself (wanting to open a fab lab) one would also find that they can increase a small community`s well being.
The Fab lab offering increased fundamentals of basic science and applied maths (keeping the core work force updated and useful to employers)
Offing those less fortunate the ability of development and creation. This leads onto invention, invention means new technology. which means a new marketable good, which in turn leads onto new jobs which require technical trained staff (see fab lab and colleges) which also means greater pay.
To right off the need of a geek into days modern society is damaging to a society.

Actually I think it's the Conservation of Ninjitsu in effect. Except in this case it's the Conservation of Humanity principle. Basically the less the amount of people that are killed the more you identify with individual personalities and feel sympathy than an enourmous amount of faceless people who you're more apt to see as inhuman. Its basic human psychology, not isolated simply to those humans in the west.

It's that black and white thinking that is wrong with the world. From your view point people aren't allowed to care about anything. There is always something more eyepoppingly tragic and disastrous to feel guilty about instead. If your friend's mom dies do you rant about the billions of moms that died before his so stop feeling sad?

What is wrong with the world? 'Western' people believing they are superiour to the rest of the world. Thousands of people die everyday in far worse conditions and some school shooting gets attention.
Want to see what's wrong with the world? Go to Afghanistan, Iraq, Burma, Indonesia, Somalia, Gaza, Zimbabwe, etc. You will realise that that school shooting is nothing compared to the mass amount of suffering that goes on in the world. The only reason people feel it's so bad is because 'Westerners' believe they are better than everyone else and deserve attention rather than the millions who have died so far in Somalia.

Yes the Hutu's Murdered Tutsie's because every single westerner is self-centered. The genocide in Darfur is because Westerners think they are better then others. Terrorism exists because westerners are all high and mighty.
Biased anyone?!
Howabout a vauge, shallow arguement devoid of examples, evidential or even illistrationary proof? TO say that all the worlds problems are because the west advanced as a society faster then the "east" and the "south" and the "north" makes you the kind of person you are trying to make me out to be.
SO in return, I blame YOU for the worlds problems.
