To tell you the truth, I'm already quite shocked and worried by how pedagogically incompetent a lot of university teachers are. They have no requirements at all to do any theory that deals with this stuff, not even special needs or psychology, but just How to teach 101. Most people have enough common sense to figure out how to do it, but I've run into some imbeciles in my time.
You're right, but my point with all this is that a society that has been through something like this shooting needs to take a good look at itself, and admit that it's the environment that is responsible for the individuals it produces, they do not suddenly come out of the ground and open fire.
Society is ALWAYS responsible for its members, however much some like to say "as long as I obey the law and pay my taxes I don't give a fuck".

The terminology is not so well established, this stuff is quite new. But social anxiety disorder is an actual diagnosable condition

Your quote generalizes a bit eh?
I see it differently, society isn't ALWAYS responsible for it's members. The Bigger Thomas argument does have validity in some cases, but how can society be completely responsible for every bad act committed? Virginia Tech aside, every single murder, rape, bombing, arson, whatever isn't caused by society. Sure society plays some part in everyone's life, but at what point do those involved take personal responsibility?
That brings us to a realm that is off topic from the thread. But you did open the door.

Not for every bad act, but for its members. Someone can just decide to do something stupid or evil one day, fine. But if people are struggling around us then I think we are guilty if we don't do anything. Unless we've already tried everything and nothing worked.
Individuals are always responsible for their own actions, but we should recognize the circumstances that put them there, circumstances often caused by society.

get off the soapbox, Andy.... with the way you've been acting lately, I can see you may be the next one to snap
repeat after me..."serenity now....serenity now...."
yeah, it makes me so warm inside
theres plenty of other situations to deal with, so that business doesnt slow down...take public intoxication as an example. Know anything about that, Andrew ??!!:eyebrows:
thank you again, Aaron, for saying me the typing

no matter what we do, there is NO guarantee that something like this will never happen again
I believe in getting the mentally ill all the help they can get (there are plenty of mentally ill people out there, with varying degrees of illness), but I cannot condone this kids actions as somehow being justifiable.

A little bit off topic but still related.
I think you make a good point when you say society should look at their actions as well. Sometimes however these people don't even think what they are doing is wrong . For instance, I worked at this place where this creature also worked. The creature didn't like a lot of people, and I think it hated me the most. Anyway this creature used to bully people and also try to get them fired when it didn't like them. In most of cases it succeeded except in mine because I was always well liked by my bosses. It did however make my life hell. The creature never succeeded and eventually I left of my own accord. The creature (who was really evil incarnate) eventually got fired. :xmas: However to this day, the creature always tells my friends that it doesn't know how such bad things could happen to it since it was always such a good person. That got some jaw dropping reactions from people because even those that got along with it saw the true nature of the beast and thought it was evil incarnate as well. Anyway my point is, how do we get society to take a look at itself when society sometimes tends to have this skewed vision that it's perfect?
