I'm not condoning his actions, but I can sympathise with the whole thing about everyone telling you you're a nice guy, but no-one wanting to step past the 'friend' zone.
He was a decent looking guy, and as he said, many women had told him he was nice, maybe if one had been brave enough to say WHY he wasn't getting dates, what that thing was that kept getting him rejections, he may have ended up 'normal'.
I imagine it's the many years of rejection with no reason given that eventually built up in a tight ball of hate in his gut and eventually turned him nuts.
Of course, we're all told that if you work hard and try, you'll succeed, and I think it ground him down, that, purely out of luck perhaps, he kept trying, kept trying to improve his lot and it never came off.
Again what he did was wrong, but I can at least understand the frustration and the fury at a world that doesn't cut someone a break who's wanting just the basic minimum of some mild success and a woman's love.

Thats unfortunate. I wish your freind luck.
But back on the topic of the shooting. It is sad, but I do not beleive it was justified.
I feel for his lonlyness, but I dont think anything justifys killing innocent people.
Thanks for posting this. Made sense? Not really. I can empathize to a degree, being a bit of a loner myself, but killing so many innocent people because you feel alone does not make sense. Especially when there are so many options online and elsewhere to meet people. I'm not tryin' to be a troll or flame or anything. Just responding to your valid question. Hope you don't take it the wrong way. Totally crazy stuff. Good article. Thanks again.-Orgasmatron- said:
Also, I don't believe its all about sex, althought of course that's part of it.
Sure us guys need release regularly, but we're quite capable of doing that alone.
What we really need tho, is the acceptance and human contact of a woman, I think there's pretty much nothing better than just laying in bed with one you love, knowing you're both fully content with each other, and even just a hug can be a big boost to someone who's feeling low.

Right, because we all know that life is only categorized into two different groups.
There are two types of people in the world, those that think there are actually two types of people in the world and the rest of us that know better.
But I do agreee with you that some people are given everything for no reason whatsoever, but that is a very, very select few. You shouldn't confuse confidence with arrogance.
I can understand his frustration, but he went about "solving his problem" in about the worst possible way to keep my sympathy. Killing yourself? Sometimes understandable. Killing others? Only good in self-defense. Killing others, then yourself? You just lost any sympathy from me towards your plight.
Oh wow, apparently, my mother knows one of the women he murdered, Jody Billingsley. This is rather depressing.
I've always wanted to read something like this, the diary of someone who plans to kill people. I can't explain why, it just is one of the most fascinating things possible to me, people's thought processes and how they view the events around them. Probably explains why I'm a fan of Malcolm Gladwell (author who has written a few books on behavorial patterns in people). Is it wrong to find this "last note" kind of thing intriguing?
It's cool man. I wasn't condoning his action, I was just thinking that some of the points he made where valid, in a weird, psychotic kind of way. Although, personally, I wouldn't like to subscribe to that kind of thinking.VonBrewskie said:
