Some of the answers here sound really odd. Let’s not forget: school shootings are mostly centered in the United States. That would mean that there is something wrong with either the laws or the culture in the U.S. that triggers horrific events such as these.
That said, Wither’s idea that certain games lead to school shootings sounds a little far fetched. Video games on the internet can be downloaded from all countries, not only the U.S. If the game was the cause, shootings would appear elsewhere. I find it hard that games like PUBG would encourage this behavior. It’s not only games that teach the use of guns, there are real-life gun ranges all over the country. Not everyone that goes there is encouraged to shoot a school. What is true is that games like Active Shooter discourage teenagers from taking these events seriously. The result of this is a mass of “edgy” memes and a general community of teens that think shootings and other events are a joke.
In addition, all that people are saying about wrong discipline is true; a bad life of any sort will lead to negative emotions that may be expressed through anger. That anger may manifest in several ways: bullying, rebellious behavior, alcohol or drugs, and in most cases, a combination of several of these behaviors that all lead up to a decision by the shooter that a large group of people is responsible for their life and need to pay. So it would make sense that an attack is motivated by being an incel, however, there are many more reasons (For anyone who doesn’t know: an incel is a person who hasn’t had any romantic or sexual relationships and believes that this is caused by the people around him. Video about incels.). So a shooter may have had a rough childhood due to his schoolmates constantly bullying them, or they could just feel the need to be better than others, as shown by the Wikipedia page for one of the worst school massacres in history.
It doesn’t help that legal authorities are not stepping in. Sure, the police will appear to arrest the shooter and make sure everyone is safe, but a day later no higher authorities will take measures to prevent a shooting from occurring again. To give a sense of how effective it would be if American gun laws were changed, take Australia for example. Their last attack of this nature was in 1996, and following the incident, laws changed and no such events have occurred.
Some might even argue that it’s the parents’ fault for not properly disciplining the attacker, and to that end, I find it convincing. Hundreds of children will act against their parents; it is up to the parents to make sure their children are taught to stop their bad behaviors. Ignoring such actions may lead to even more violent actions. And in the chance that a parent leaves their weapons on the reach of their children, awful things may happen.
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact cause. Every event has a reason and every person has a story, so no one shooter would say the same thing. But it is true that nothing is done to prevent it. If authorities don’t change gun laws and American parents do not change their form of discipline, the chances of another shooting occurring are very high.

“k.”SERIOUSLY! Since when did bots come on EternalCraft to post their Russian porn? Did you guys bother opening these links or translating that bit of text?
Fuck’s the point of this post?

Wonderful seeing you again. It’s the fact that everyone was friends with everyone else is what made this server something amazing. Everyone made friends and memories that they never forget. Good luck with everything ahead of you! 😀
Aw I didn’t make it to the list.

I can relate to that Bender. EC was one of the first communities I made a huge number of friends on. I was an annoying kid and being around that many people taught me how to be much less obnoxious. Despite being part of the staff team, I think I learned more from the community than I taught about the server or kept it monitored.I really don’t know about the servers thing. It almost seemed like servers started competing against each other to outperform the others. There’s nothing wrong with innovation, but it was a little too competitive (especially considering that scamming was allowed in Prison, and raiding was required in Factions).

It’s still pretty odd that we liked the server despite most of us also making the drama.August 29, 2017 at 11:03 am in reply to: What were some things you missed about the community? #137538 Score: 0Those were some awful fights haha. It was kind of a weird decision to introduce Factions to a server that lived with Towny for two years. I think this is what brought about so much drama, the community got used to protected and peaceful areas and the addition of a server that is competitive in nature was pretty… idk salty lol. I remember when it first appeared and how a group of mods started their own faction and because the rest of the mods were annoyed they made their own faction and that was a start to a ton of drama. I’m obviously not saying the Factions gamemode is bad, it just doesn’t go hand in hand with Towny.
I missed Creative too. I remember when I first joined this server I helped someone built a hotel… then when they introduced 100 x 100 plots I got help from a few people to literally build a grave for every single member we could think of on that server… spooky. That also reminded me of the signs that were posted around the creative spawn like “a better love story than Twilight” because there were so many role playing couples lol… Btw @S_Killer99 the game I joined is called Warframe. Very different since it’s an Action Third Person Shooter, and it has a lot of things to get used to, but it’s free! Check this review out if you’re interested. Hopefully it will be better than that server.Gotta admit. People really need to grow the fuck up around here. 😛
But all i see is spanish people , corrrupt mods , un-active server , there have never been 30 ppl or more since The great “Re-open” , this is bullshit.
I adore the fact that you added “spanish people” as a reason this server is failing… and you say you are a good part of a community.
And I thought I had seen too much drama… Feel bad for you Xavier 😛
To think that anyone has ever grown up… lol
