No it's not.

Yes it is.

Prove it. You only have the actions of a grieving father to back that up.

On the one hand, there is 'The North Remembers'.  On the other hand, it is clear that the North also doesn't act stupidly or frivolously.  Karstark's actions seemed to meet with condemnation from the other lords.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The North is about sitting on your ass all day, refusing to relocate to jobs, because your grandpa was laid off when the coal mine closed.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Is Siegy trolling, drunk or just dumb? I mean his insistence that Tysha was a whore.

Arya was awesome up until she started killing people who hadn't personally wronged her.

Why? What's wrong with killing people that need to be killed, but haven't personally wronged you?
By your account, if you didn't personally lose somebody on the 9/11, you had no bussiness fighting in the WOT.
Rethink your statement.

Because it's the difference between a vigilante and a psycho killer.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I'm just dumb.

And Tysha was a whore.

Quentyn Martell should have read "How To Tame Your Dragon".

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Exactly. He placed himself in a position with no choices. Revenge is part of North culture and he should have understood that Karstark would have taken his revenge no matter the price. Robb failed to perceive that in the North revenge is more important than trading hostages. He got this southron mentality of hostages from the Tullies.

Robb's mistake was leaving any of the Karstarks alive, if you are right and mindless revenge against innocent people is a "part of North culture."  Of course, the chances that you are right about that are as low as the chances of anything else you say being right!  :P
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
