Maybe the incessant working out and then having to post about it online is showing their own feelings of inadequacies in themselves, which lets in to why they mock others... to feel better about themselves. And a bodybuilding forum is a place for all the people trying to overcompensate for poor self image can come together, and make things worse. Horray internet...

"Who puts a bunch of metal on a metal bar and lifts that metal over and over again like some metal jerk?" (if you know where this is from then you have good taste

)

I am sure there are some good people over there, but there seems to be no shortage of juiced up, insecure, creatine snorting D-bags. How much ya bench?

So sad that poor kid was in such a bad mental state. I hope people learn from this and take every threat seriously. It is life or death after all.

Look...even X5World had a person on it who wanted to:

1) kill my kid
2) kill my wife

So, the Internet is a dangerous place.

Damn... can we just get Dave Chappelle's internet? That looked like a fun place. "Hey buddy....... buddy buddy buddy?" "Would you like to see this woman and a goat?"

I've been keeping up with the thread on BB.com and what really makes me sick is how their trying to justify their actions and telling about how their not sorry about what has been done, I don't see any remorse for any of the actions. They should be ashamed.

Someone is dead, and I just feel like that forum is everything that is wrong with society/people today. No offense to people that post of it but from what I've seen it's the breeding ground of lower life forms I would never associate myself with.

I like to think here on X5WORLD we view ourselves as a family, despite our differences.

Maybe I'm the only one but when one on BB.com said:

"If you see a store being robbed you don't have to call the police"

Am I the only one who would call the police? Am I the only one who would stop if I saw a car crash and call 911 and make sure they were ok?

Try telling this to most people and the actions of BB.com will bring a disgusted look to the face of ANYONE with decent morals and intelligence.

I don't think the guys at the BB forum quite grasp the concept of morality...

In its second, normative and universal sense, morality refers to an ideal code of conduct, one which would be espoused in preference to alternatives by all rational people, under specified conditions. To deny 'morality' in this sense is a position known as moral skepticism.

In its third usage, 'morality' is synonymous with ethics, the systematic philosophical study of the moral domain.

Hey Boi, do you remember the last couple episodes of Seinfeld where they were arrested for watching a crime and not doing anything about it? This situation reminds me about that...
