Generally an intelligent, heterosexual, socially concerned male with adequate amounts of male hormone but who's sadly been hit with the ugly stick at birth. They go through most of their adolescents and young adulthood severley tormented, discriminated and rejected by both sexes because of personal appearance flaws, but its the female rejection which would later demonize them forever. Then from about ages 25+ these somewhat psychologically damaged and bitter individuals begin to despise all human rights and wrongs especially the 'asthetic law' which places the ugly away from the goodlooking. The end result being a sexually frustrated, deprived lonely individual whos only en-route to eden and out of depression is to go on a ballistic rampage for nothing more than self gratifcation, revenge and power.

Capitalism is the economic/political theory in which it is assumed that all men are selfish and look to achieve one's self interest rather than altruism assuming that if each individual wishes to do well, he or she will do as well as his or her ability will so allow (survival of the fittest).

Consider, for instance, if one had cancer and knew it to be both incurable and excruciatingly painful - and to make things even simpler this person eighty four years of age - suicide would be justified and probably not looked down on. Many who commit suicide may look on their death as a sort of martyrdom (whether it be a delusion of grandeur or realistic is not my place to decide) and believe that it will prove a point. Then there are those who make what many consider to be a mistake and do it in a fit of passion or rage. As I said earlier, though, it is an action that is not to be judged by the living (or in my mind, by anyone). It is a matter of personal decision as to what is best for ther person considering it. While many would say it is an act of selfishness because of the supposed depression it inflicts on others, one might also question what debt we carry to others? Does meeting someone mean that I must live for their happiness? While it is a selfish act in the truest sense of the phrase - an act carried out in self interest - I would contend that this isn't something to condemn as our bashing of it would be in our own self interest. It is an act of self-indulgent hypocrisy to re...
