Gunman kills 21 on Virginia Tech campus

[Wyldfire]

I don't think loneliness was the cause because his roommates had tried for a couple of months to befriend him and he rejected their friendly overtures to him.

I think I regret writing what I wrote. Thanks for your message Wyldfire. I assure you I am very mentally okay.

My personal opinion is that he was lonely. He had no friends, girls didn't like him and so forth. He had nothing in his life. I've been lonely before and it sucks. It's one of the worst feelings you can have. Of course I would never go to the extremes he did. I think the reason why he did what he did what he did was that he was angry at the world because the world hated and did accept him so he wanted revenge on everyone. The guy just couldn't take it anymore so thats why he went on the shooting spree. You never know what a difference you could make in someones life if by just being nice to someone. I've heard so many stories about people who were about to commit suicide or thinking about it and didn't go through it because someone was nice to them. Just one little thing could make a huge impact in someones life. Sounds corny but its the truth. Most people who commit suicide because of being lonely. Sometimes a friend is all you need. A girl to smile and say hi to you could impact someones life more than you could ever know. I used to be lonely and now I try to be nicer to everyone because you never know whos life you can change.

I think you nailed it exactly, except he wasn't just lonely, people laughed at his social awkwardness. I saw a clip of the Montel show on the internet where he brought in some of Cho's former HS classmates and they practically defended Cho, saying he was the quiet kid and everyone was mean to him. I remember reading about the "go back to China" comment. This is someone who was bullied his whole life and was always left out. It is so easy to develop the mindset that 'everyone is against you' when stuff like that happens. I didn't really get picked on in school, but I know how it feels to be left out. It feels like ****, and it's much worse on the rare occasions I was picked on, you really start to hate the people. Now imagine if that happened throughout your whole life, every single day. I don't know if even I would be able to take it. Although I don't agree with Cho's actions, I can definitely see how A lead to B, and it doesn't surprise me at all. For some reason I don't see him as completely mentally ill, he may have had Asperger's, but that itself can't make you into a killer.

Maybe it had something to do with his inability to overcome his sh*tty writing, considering he was an english major and all.

Very interesting, I'd like to see that episode. When was it?

Again, if he was racially mocked throughout his entire teen years for his speech whenever he opened his mouth - then it's understandable why he wouldn't talk in college after that. He was trained to stay silent to avoid teasing.

Honestly, this is nothing new. Hitler was bullied by rich Jewish kids when he was young - and we all saw where that led...

In any case, this pornified society is now survival of the sexiest - and the way you get treated in life IS proportional to how sexy you are.

If Cho had been sexy, he would not have gotten mocked and bullied. Girls would have found his slurring "cute" or offered to tutor him and defend him against any teasing. He would have had more friends and girlfriends.

When you really look at social interactions now - isn't this the case? The natural alphas and popular girls are basically the sexiest ones. They can coast through life getting drunk and partying all the time and be full of flaws...yet still remain popular because they are sexy.

Meanwhile, if you are unsexy, no matter what you do it is "never quite enough." Cho figured out through his traumatic adolescence that he was "stuck" at the bottom of the sexual food chain and so felt as if his fate was already hopelessly sealed in life. And if you feel your life sucks that bad with no hope for improvement, then what's so great about it? Why is death so much worse than pain that may never end?

So yes, the fact that he couldn't get laid was symptomatic of a deeper problem that caused his mistreatment and misery in life. When you're not sexy, life REALLY SUX! Why do you think these seduction communities even got started? To deal with this whole "new" paradigm where everything boils down to how hawt you are!

I definitely agree. I mean, is it a surprise anymore that almost all school shooters fit the profile of a social outcast and someone who got bullied constantly?

Here's the clip I saw of the episode: http://news.yahoo.com/video/2979
It's like the 5th video from the bottom of the first page (April 20 date). Apparently the episode airs today!
