Can the massacres that occur in everyday America be discarded as individual, or is it a social problem? - Jucahú Bagua Maorocotà - 05-07-2013 12:50 AM

a massacre is a social problem.
I would have thought you would have realized that.

I think it's a combination of both.

When little kids grow up playing violent video games because their parents don't give a damn, and they don't have to engage with a human being outside of texting and twitter, it's not going to end well

We have had eleven in the last two years, all older teenagers or men in their early twenties.
Private possession of guns is not new, but these massacres are. There is obviously something desperately wrong with our society.

A little bit of both. There is a social problem in America where people don't take ownership and personal responsibility for their problems. Americans tend to believe that anything undesirable about their lives is someone else's fault. This attitude is reinforced by conservative media, which is committed to blaming everything wrong in the country on liberals or government in general. Throw in individual desires to punish those who have slighted them in anyway, like the mother who doesn't seem to love you enough and the children who seem to have stolen her affections from you, and a cocktail for mass violence is born.
Jiminy Christmas proves my point.

Liberals deem it a social problem because they don't believe in personal accountability.

it does
we have 2 CT massacre a day according to the statistic
Approximately 45 murders are committed each day in the U.S

it's clear than we're living into a broken society
but people don't care because they believe that is never going to happen to them
it's just a statistic

Its both, the ready access to guns makes it easy for sick individuals to kill in multiples in public places, and the American worship of guns makes it a social problem.
And the first mass murder was in 1949. He walked around town killing thirteen people.

It seems to be trending now. Socially its a problem.
