i guess he didn't get the kind of support/understanding from his parents and other people that he needed and that contributed heavily to him turning into such a basket case. the thing to blame here is a dysfunctional world.
or that some people are just wired differently.

he was an adult who made his own choices.  lets not coddle his behaviour.

i'm not coddling anybody, and if you read what i said you'll see i said not having the support he needed, that contributed to what happened, not that it alone caused it. :tantrum:

or...
you are just so cute when you get angry.  i just want to gobble you up.

No, guns are banned in the UK and Milla is probably law-abiding, so she wouldn't be able to get a gun anyway.  ;)

i live in Ireland though which is not exactly UK, i dunno about the laws here though... but reading about your humongous pill stash and knowing you live in a country that is next to the country i USED to live in... that kinda makes me want to go on that shooting spree after all. :smurf:

I think Ireland has harsh gun laws but not as harsh as Britain. Britain actually has harsher gun laws than Sweden!

I think Britian and Australia have the strickest gun laws next to North Korea.

They got away with some pretty anti-American legislation in DC for a while, though.
Something about shooting people not being among our rights.

Yep. Hand guns are totally banned for all "ordinary" citizens and air guns are licensed! You can get 3 years in prison in Britain and Australia for an unlicensed air gun. In Sweden you usually get 6 months for illegal possesion of a real gun. Shame on supposedly democratic countries to have such gun laws anyway.

If you don't stand up for your rights soon, you might end up like us poor Europeans and the Aussies. Guns will either be banned, or, they will be allowed, but not in self-defense, which makes the legal possesion of a gun meaningless.

why can't everyone just learn martial arts for defence instead

Good point. Studying martial arts improved my competition shooting abilities, tremedously. Actually made me into a contender.

Totally agree, but with the two main parties, both, attacking our varoious rights, it's kind of hard to stop. We need a successful independent candidate for a few years, maybe, but that is not even likely.
