Anyway, I'm obviously missing something because I don't understand why people are supposedly mad. Someone spell it out to me, I guess.

Most people would rather not give the guy any attention.

Rolling Stone sucks and just wants attention, it's really the only reason they did this. However, I don't care. I ain't reading that **** anyways.
 
SChool shootings,bombings, and the like will always be prevalent in societies that value pride over honor. I am not an America hater but this is the one thing in our country that drives me insane. Most Americans use the words pride and honor interchangeably. It is better(in America) to be infamous than average,fun than reliable, and stubborn than reasonable. I really think that by placing more value in honor and avoiding prideful behavior we can have a safer,healthier, happier society.
You mean like the societies that condone honor killings?

Should be called pride killings. It's their pride that has been hurt not their honor.

I'm not saying any other culture is better in this respect(I don't have the requisite experience to comment). I am saying that these acts are usually either done for prideful reasons(infamy,best god) or hurt pride(teased,rejected). If we were less prideful and more honorable I think these things would happen less.

The Klingons are better. That's about it.

Agree re: pride. Thought your post was suggesting the USA was worse than other countries. Pride is a universal problem.

Nope. The thing I hate second most in America is people who say "in Europe..." or "in Europe they" or "in Canada..." or ....

Klingons are a classic misuse of the word honor. They are prideful. They are capable of honorable acts, but they are motivated by their pride.

Hey I just said they were better, not perfect. But don't ever let a klingon hear you say that.
 
It's been done before. Quit pretending to be outraged/shocked people.
