When I was in high school, I used to say things like, "I don't understand humans" or "I guess I am just above other people - you know, humans, in my morals", and I thought it was great being a different more highly evolved species --- but it scared my family a little bit, because that is obviously a grave step towards becoming a sociopath, and after some time of reflecting, I started really feeling like a human, even if I did have some higher moral values than some of my peers.
We're all human. Just some of us are different kinds of humans. Whether we're better or worse, it's all just an opinion really.

Indeed there is truth in what you say. but when you think about it most of the time we label things we don't understand as danger, when we see someone do something or as what most people would say "behave differently" we label them as sick and take them to psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist. instead of taking the time and try to communicate with that person. when i say communicate i mean to listen to them and try to understand them.

I can relate to that. I think it's best practice to be able to understand and have open lines of communication. Sometimes, it takes time to decide whether abnormal behavior is a positive thing or could potentially be dangerous. I learned a lot about abnormal behavior because when I got my Bachelor's, I had a minor in education, so I had to take a lot of classes dealing with students or individuals who don't fit the normal model. I thought it was awesome, because that's kind of what I am too.

I totally agree about that. But sometimes what we think of as abnormal behaviors aren't really abnormal. Some behaviors are Influenced by other cultures. and that is one of the main problems because a lot of the people aren't opened to new ideas whither they are physical, Mental or Spiritual.

Don't over think it too much darlin'. I've done that more times than I can count. Just tell him what's up and ask him what's up with him. Just be real
Try to go with your gut feeling about things. It's probably gonna be incredibly awkward lol and there's not much you can do about that. One of you will break the ice..This is coming from someone who used to be incredibly shy lol. Some people wouldn't think that just from experiencing the present day 'me' lol.

There really needs to be better gun control. So many murders have happened because it's so easy to get guns in some places. How many deaths could have been prevented in even just the past twenty years if something had been done about gun control? Some people say "Oh, we need them for self-defense!" but they wouldn't need a gun for it if guns weren't basically being tossed around. This is just ridiculous. Some people say shootings are so common because mental disabilities. That's partially true, but if they didn't have easy access to guns, then they wouldn't be as dangerous. And if people are insane enough to go shoot people and doctors know they're insane and are violent, they shouldn't be walking around on the streets.

Many lives have been taken because of our stupidity. I agree having a better gun control may have helped preventing a lot of deaths. but many would go to use knives. Its a dark thought i know. but what we really need isn't a better gun control system. what we need is to find a way and take action to stop creating weapons as whole. i mean how many lives need to be lost before people start opening their eyes and see how much harm they are making?
As for the insane people in the streets. some people will deny and won't believe that a member of their family is insane. and they might argue with everyone about that.

And they would be ten times more if those knives were guns.
But are we specifically talking about rifles now? I was referring to guns in general, because even in the US I don't think everyone can own a rifle just like that. Anyway, where I live, the laws on gun control are much stricter and you don't hear about someone being killed every day, even in cities with a higher crime rate. That's probably not a coincidence. Guns make it way too easy to kill people, even masses, without getting close. For example, we hear about school shootings every other day, but I have yet to hear about a school knifing.
