the shooter had been taught, believed and lived the "Golden Rule", i.e. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"!
Now before you idiots cynically respond.."HE DID"... reflect on what you are stupidly saying!
If you believe that then ALL of us are like the shooter... AND I for one don't believe the vast, large majority of people are like the shooter!
So if the shooter had been raised with the practical, DAILY.. examples taught in school at home, on video games!!! The value of abiding by the Golden Rule.. do you really think the shooter would have gone on the killing spree?
Of course ALL of us are bombarded DAILY by advertisers emphasis on "greening" , "ecological responsibility", "global warming" BUT is there an equal if not GREATER bombardment as to the "Golden Rule"?
If our schools and parents bombarded DAILY with the virtues of the "Golden Rule" how much better would the world be?
Of course there will always be evil people... BUT there would be less of them if:
1) Society glorified the "Golden Rule" rather then violence, killings, destruction like we see in TV,video games and on the Internet!
Glorification like these titles I just found on the internet of Video games available to shooters!
10 Most Violent Video Games
1. Manhunt Players advance by stalking and killing victims, all for the delight of a "director" who urges you to make the killings bloodier, more cunning, and ever more horrific. Manhunt 2 is more of the same, but now you've been injected with a drug to bring out your "homicidal tendencies."
2. Resident Evil 5 Using guns, swords, or a chainsaw, you shoot, hack, and slash oncoming enemies, producing copious amounts of blood. And the game's racial undertones are hard to ignore, as the white hero (accompanied by a light-skinned African American) has to kill mostly black victims infected by the zombie-causing virus.
3. Dead Rising Based on the 1978 Dawn of the Dead zombie splatter flick, this game combines gory imagery -- like shotgun blasts, chainsaw dismemberment, and hand-to-hand combat -- with images of nude women on various objects.
4. Resident Evil 4 Players must stab, shoot, and bomb their way through hundreds of realistic-looking humans and monsters. Cursing and sexual dialogue round out the mix.
5. Grand Theft Auto (specifically Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) Players can kill other humans, including police officers, or drive into pedestrians on sidewalks and in parks. Gang warfare, beatings, drive-by shootings, and bloody deaths are all shown in gory detail.
6. God of War II Players can do everything from ripping the eye out of a Cyclops to twisting the head off of Medusa to slicing off enemies' arms with chains strapped to their wrists. There's also a sex mini-game.
7. Mortal Kombat: Deception The goal of this game is the same as other Mortal Kombats: Kill or be killed, and make it as horrific as you can.
8. MadWorld With the Wii remote and Nunchuk in your hands, you simulate the motions used to split someone open with a chainsaw, punch opponents with your fists, or pick up and use assorted objects scattered throughout the levels to dismember, bludgeon, and impale your foes.
9. Gears of War You can use a chainsaw to rip apart enemies or machine guns to spray them down. Characters and world are photorealistic, making bloody battles seem even gorier.
10. Saints Row 2 The protagonist never shows hesitation or remorse, often deliberately choosing the most violent means possible of carrying out missions -- declaring such methods "more fun" at least once -- and taking pleasure in homicide.

My children do not play these games. If parents did not allow their children to play these games, they would not exist. We must take the responsibility and not look at others.
