I'm sad that this had to happen, but it's a good opportunity to bring up a point.
In short, a guy walks into a gym, pulls out a gun, shoots a bunch of women, shoots himself, and, as is discovered later on videos he posted online, he did it because he felt lonely, unloved and had never spent a weekend with a woman.
There are two possible reactions to this story:
"What a heinous act. It makes me feel unsafe being in public. What an unbalanced awful human being. No wonder nobody wants to have sex with you."
and...
"He's in his late 40's and never spent the night with a lady? I haven't gotten laid in 3 weeks and I damn near choked the motherfucker behind me at the grocery store. The man is a machine."
I'm guessing more than a few people can relate to the second perspective, whether they care to admit it or not.
The lesson? Please.... get out there and fuck somebody. I know that sometimes you want romance or context or even to be attracted to them, but, if you don't get over yourself and just knuckle down in a bedroom somewhere with a person in need, somebody's going to get shot.
That's not a threat. It's not me being insensitive. And I'm not saying you still can't get out there and fuck the people of your choice on your own free time. I'm just saying... if you want to live in a world where crazy people aren't out there shooting people, get those pants off.
You never hear people on the news saying, "Yeah, this guy walks in the bar talking about how he had just had sex with a lady, then next thing you know, he's stabbing bitches in the neck." You never hear stories about women saying, "He had just gone down on me for about a half hour, then I slashed his tires and burned down his house."
Let's make this a teachable moment. Thank you.
Yeah, ladies. Do your part.
I'm waiting.

Yeah, ladies. Do your part.
It goes both ways. If Kathy Bates' crazy assed character from Misery ever got laid, that would have been a much shorter movie.

That is HILARIOUS! Way to take a sad tale and spin the positive by making a very obvious point from the tragedy. Reminds me of what folks said about Clinton while he was in the office. The reason why there weren't any cold wars and little conflict (minus the Persian Gulf mini-series) is because he had Monica keeping him satisfied!

I have taken one for humanity once, although she at least weighed less than me.
Only chick to ever beg me to f her. Wonder what (name redacted)'s up to these days?

I, too have taken one for humanity, yet I in no way wonder what (name redacted) is up to. Just conjuring up the act in my head is good enough for me to vomit my breakfast.
Not that I'm a tattooed Euro-porn star stud with crazy facial expressions all the ladies of porn seem to wanna fuck, yet even I have standards.

That's why a lot of fighters won't blow one for a month or so before an upcoming fight. Not blowing loads on the reg makes a man angry.
I just came in my pants thinking about midget gang bangs, so I'm good.

God, I saved a killing by being smothered by biggie last weekend, near my birthday no less. Got the call: "I really need a friend."
So be it. Use me. At least my drinking buddy puked on her white carpet. Get some!

I... think that may have been more harm than good. Maybe she should have specified that she needed a friend who could romance her and not bring a dude over to throw up on her carpet. It's not hard to think about these things.

She had white carpet? She was albino?
Bania, one of my track coaches (the throwing coach) always told the guys not to jack it before meets so they'd have pent up aggression. One of the guys suggested that he could go to nationals if he jacked it right before completion before throwing. He was a funny man.

Brilliant!

Newman - your coach knew what he was talking about.
I never excelled at top level sports because of my fondness for jacking.

Another solid piece of advice to possibly save your own life? Don't go to the gym!
