GB, I have a loyalty to nobody upon this earth beyond the few that I know. It bothers me that you seem to think that I identify with the class of any underdog. I have nothing in common with this killer, with Jihad Muslims, with murderers, with anybody. I have practically given up on human beings entirely. I have no faith in humanity. I relate to nobody. I reject all faiths. I reject human beings which invade and kill nonstop for 5 centuries. I have become the thing that I feared most. Utter despair has overwhelmed me and my negativity eats away at my bones. I'm no longer much of a human being. Knowing too much has reduced me horribly. I look out my window and they haven't a clue and it is me inside chewing myself to pieces.

And you want to attack me for this? For saying a magazine can put an image of a killer on its front and be correct in doing so? In a world where mass murderers really are getting away with it. It just boggles my mind. You live in a nation of Tories and providers of murder, America much the same and you are telling me who I pick and choose is wrong? This man was no more a terrorist than the rest of these stupid people.

Stick him on the cover. So what? People died. Sure, trillions were spent on the wars and a million died. What's the issue?

Cobain killed himself. It is a bad example. It is no different to Jesus on a cross and saying to children, 'don't nail yourself to the cross, it will set a bad example'.

I am not attacking you Miles. I am just disagreeing with some of your assumptions. It's very sad to have given up on human beings entirely. Humans have done a lot more than kill non-stop for centuries, but if that is what you want to focus on I can see how it would piss you off. I have another Grandson on the way any time in the next couple of weeks so I can't say that I share your despair, but you are right in pointing out that I live in a nation run by Tories. It is sunny though and the Labour party took us to war so what are you gonna do?

Politicians and people in power are full of krap but most people are not such power hungry bastards. You sound like you miss community/family and are eager to write off humanity without taking part in the more joyful parts of it.

100,000,000 million people lived in America prior to the invasions. 98% were wiped out.

I'm depressed because of more than this. Of course I am. I have several nieces and nephews, and good on them and I wish them well and will always support them. I have been cautious around myself and that is so others can prosper in different ways to me. I have never known family or what that means.

In terms of raising children, no. I know the realities. I live a different kind of life too. I'm happy for others to do that instead.
