What? That makes no sense. Going from making relatively harmless "weapons" because he can to killing people is a HUGE, and rediculous, leap. Hell, me and my brother used to make wooden swords and fight eachother. And I continued to do that with my friends for years.KingWeasel said:
There's nothing new here, my brother (back in the day) made all sorts of make shift weapons, and fights were a daily thing with him (no he never used the dangerous weapons in a fight, he wasn't that dumb).
Stupid is todays parents sheltering kids so much they 'break' when they get out into the real world and they get into drugs or heavy drinking/partying because of it.

Got bored about half way through. I don't think there's anything disturbing or creepy in that video. He just taped some pins onto sticks. Shooting rocks or marbles with slingshots would cause a lot more damage than most of his "weapons" and slingshots have been around for ages already. So even if there was something wrong with todays youth, this video is not a viable proof for it.
I think it's actually really amazing that he was able to make functioning weapons of out regular household objects. As long as he isnt hurting anyone, i think its fine. The only one that i guess could be disturbing is the last one he showed because it really could be seen as a regular object and some kid could go apeshit in school and really hurt someone with it.
Perfectly put with the first reply. Nice.WrongSprite said:
As for the weapons, well. He's flexing his creativity. This is good.
Ignoring the horrible grammar of that last bit, can you even list a source? Do you have any proof backing up what you are saying?Terminate421 said:
As for your claim that we are "forgetful", what exactly do you mean by this?
Are you in High School, out of High School? Middle School, maybe? Just out of curiosity.
I agree, nothing wrong here. Also that blow dart thing was pretty awesome. When I was a kid we had gangs, real guns, and knives...so...yeah I think this shows more creativity then anything. Course by "we" I mean an over-exaggeration of my generations violence. Seriously though, its not that bad.Seigneur said:
You think that's bad? A bunch of kids a town over from mine burnt down a memorial made for an old war veteran for shits and giggles. This kid isn't disturbed, he's fucking creative. If he applies that, he'll potentially do good in school and be successful.
If you're trying to show a good example of today's youth being bad, you're missing the mark by a long shot.
You should use this kid's bow and arrow next time. Fairly accurate.

Can I visit your brain for a while? I'd love to see how you could possibly jump to that conclusion.KingWeasel said:
The only thing disturbing about this is each time he shows a weapon he's made, I imagine some dumbass accidentally shooting me in the eye with it.
The reason for that is that back in high school, someone thought it would be funny to make a paper hornet and put a paperclip in it. He shot it into a crowd of people. It may have been an accident, but it still did the most damage it possibly could: it hit a girl I knew in the eye. You can get hit by a paperclip and you'll be fine as long as you had your tetanus shot relatively recently. But if you get hit by a piece of metal in the eye it's pretty damn hard to recover.
The only thing dangerous about these weapons is that the dumbass behind them might make a really bad decision and have really bad luck. I guess the same could be said about any weapon. Still, this isn't that disturbing. Kids have been making weapons since the dawn of man. Dumbasses pick up and use things that can be used as weapons every single day. You and everyone else drives things that can be used as pretty dangerous weapons to work every god damned day. This isn't that disturbing, considering the big picture.

That's called a slippery slope, and it's a logical fallacy and therefore should not be taken seriously by anyone.KingWeasel said:
You can't tell me you've never fenced with sticks or made paper hornets or anything when you were a kid. Every single kid has messed around with weapons at some time or another, no exceptions. This one isn't any different than any other person on this planet.
