"but therein, you've already let your bias show that you believe its the lowering of morals that caused this."
But your bias doesn't come into play? Typical. "We don't know if there were mental issues, or it was just plain stupidity that caused this kid to do this." We sure don't, and when I wrote the original post, none of the issues with the perpetrator's mental state were disclosed. "Heck it may have even been that the mother was trying to get help for her son, but with the current climate of 'personal responsiblity', nobody wanted to contribute to a 'hand-out' mentality. " Again, this was revealed much later than the original post. You didn't address whether you believe the issue I stated are legitimate issue related to a moral decline if one exists.
