I think more and more we don't deserve to survive as a species.  Though it's somewhat amusing to read the papers or watch TV or go online and witness the descent of mankind into madness.

People have always sucked. It's just the last few centuries where we've had a convenient medium to relay that fact to everyone.

Yes, and unfortunately someone helping another person with their bags onto a train isn't frontpage material.

Only when I read your posts Gral.

I see tons of evidence in the media and in real life of people with constructive visions and goals out there doing good things.  If you fail to see them that probably says more about your own view of the world than the world itself.

Whatever, there are zillions of feelgood stories every day in the news, we are just as jaded about them as the bad stuff though.

Depends on whether or not unsupervised children count.

If an unsupervised child use the gun, than it's people who killed people ;)

See, the guns are innocent in all this :P

Like Christine? Or more like KARR?

Yeah. KARR was an underrated villain.  But what if the gun were like  anascent skynet.

a) check the power cord
b) Unplug for 30 seconds, reboot.

Anascent Skynet would be a great name for a Star Wars villain.

There might be one named that already.  Since they vomit out a new Terminator movie so frequently the studio is probably dying to get some product placement.
