i do believe life is full of messages everyday and we got to understand what interpretation take by any message we go through...being fascinated has not to become being pushed on doing anything....world has to grow up!!!

I think people just have different interpretations of books. I dont believe books and music really inspire murders. But sometimes it remains among the inspirations for these kids kill other people.

there would be no other reason to mention these books and musical genre's, And these kids do mention them.

Its not fair, but that is the way things are.

People just used Jim's work as a scapegoat I am appalled and grieved when anyone dies but the fact is that the media and stuff blaming Jim is absolute rubbish.

I know, but it is a shame that some kids do actually interpret these Movies and Books as inspiration. It isnt because in nature these books are sapposed to provide motivation for murder. It is just "sick" people interpreting it that way, and the authors deserve absoloutly no punishment or guilt for these terrible tragedies that take place.

Agreed.

I believe society needs to examine people that do stuff like this and personal accountability needs to be of foremost importance.

But you know noone likes to take responsibility for anything, We all know that. It is just way easier to blame others, or moreso amass a scapegoat out of an controversial artists.

Just saying,The world would be better off if people would be accountable though rather than passing the buck.

I get angry with idiots that are so quick to blame others.

Im just no optimistic about that coming to fruition. But again i hope it does, but most likely it wont.

The Book is almost always better then the movie,
And Don't get me wrong ...I love movies.
But the book is the writers story / point of view.
Not some Shmuck from Hollywood who then twists the writes thoughts.
