are you a serial killer if you kill several people in one event? I thought a serial killer was someone who killed people over a period of time....but I totally do think this kid was manipulated due to his fathers position
Definition of SERIAL
a : performing a series of similar acts over a period of time <a serial killer>
b : occurring in or involving such a series <a serial murder>

Sounds like you are correct, though Serial (in the computing world) means "one after another" so perhaps they consider the few seconds between each shooting enough "time" ? I see it as more fear-porn journalism, sensational titles sell articles (etc...)
4 out of 5 recent mass murderers played World of Warcraft or other brain altering games before they killed, within weeks of the murders.
Woah now... I played WOW (world of warcraft) for a LONG time.. 6 years I think... I'm fairly certain that this is not a brain altering game in any unfamilar way (probably less than TV for example) & quite possibly has some positive side effects ( of course negatives also).
:P
it's different for everyone just like drugs are.
please don't deny that some people self included are reformed 6 year addicts.
i had 100 mounts and insane in the membrane on two toons.
now that is addiction no matter how you cut it.
i lived on soda pop and got to 250 lbs. that is life on wow. plain and simple that was my life on wow.
it can ruin your way of thinking.
just like the movie lawnmower man, where the ape is trained to kill --
shortening of response time in terms of brain impulse yields more primitive responses.
you can't argue with the above without denying solid science.
BBC Future column: Does the internet rewire your brain?
My column for BBC Future from a few days ago. The original is here. Mindhacks.com readers will have heard most of this before, thanks to Vaughan’s coverage of the Baroness and her fellow travellers.
Being online does change your brain, but so does making a cup of tea. A better question to ask is what parts of the brain are regular internet users using.
This modern age has brought with it a new set of worries. As well as watching our weight and worrying about our souls, we now have to worry about our brain fitness too – if you believe the headlines. Is instant messaging eroding the attention centres of our brains? Are Facebook, Twitter and other social media tools preventing you from forming normal human bonds? And don’t forget email – apparently it releases the same addictive neurochemicals as crack cocaine!
:tongue1:
it's better to be a heroin addict and see the light of day than to be on wow 24/7
as blizzard told me though, it's the individual who decides, no matter how evil and twisted the marketing and info diving has become with their company.
over and out.

oh p.s. recently a young man punched his baby fatally because the baby interfered with his enjoyment of a game on the computer.
i also (though not to that heinous degree) was unkind to my own child.
i deserved what i got -- but wow helped me get there. :party: :doh:
The truth is that everything you do changes your brain. Everything. Every little thought or experience plays a role in the constant wiring and rewiring of your neural networks. So there is no escape. Yes, the internet is rewiring your brain. But so is watching television. And having a cup of tea. Or not having a cup of tea. Or thinking about the washing on Tuesdays. Your life, however you live it, leaves traces in the brain.
please always remember that although i might disagree sometimes, what i say here is mostly done either to help or to entertain people -- not to hurt you.
i want your future to be bright, not dark :(
some things are done so quickly, and the sad thing, you can never ever take it back --
no matter how hard you try, how badly you wish the past was before you and not behind you -- the person is emotionally harmed forever.
god forgive me.
