Alot of talk regarding the children that beat up and held that poor girl against her will has focused on YouTube, Myspace and other Massive Media outlets. That's bull****.

The parents, the education system, the lack of personal responsibility is all to blame. Why are people so quick to push blame onto an object and idea instead of on the people involved?

I just got into a long drawn out discussion with someone who laughed at parts of that beating. Are some people so tuned out to violence that they can find something like that funny?

What the hell is wrong with people in the world we live in? Have we gotten to the point where compassion no longer exists?

About the teenagers... Will prison be enough to "teach" them a lesson? If they do not go to jail will there be a backlash toward them for what they did? Who was the ring leader? Who was the one with the bright idea that beating someone, videotaping the attack and putting it on YouTube would somehow be alright(cool)?

Good God... Please help me understand what's going on in the world.

Hard to understand why some people do the things they do and it is human nature to find someone or something to blame instead of taking responsibility.

Ultimatley there is someone or something to blame. People just don't get like that on their own, at least in my experience

I just think there's a growing problem here and the case by case idea is not helping anything. From Columbine to now there is a growing trend of children/young adults lashing out and taking alot of victims. I'm so completely frustrated that the thought has come to run away from the situation and we'll figure out something later.

I actually did a thesis on this for my psych class in school, it really boils down to this "who wants to take responsibility for such a awful event?" honestly do you think people are jumping to the plate saying "it was my fault". This is the same as it was when Columbine occured, it was the music, then the video games, then the pills, and back to the music. No one wants to claim responsibility for such a heinous act. Simple really.
