Sorry to be so direct. But to associate a discussion of Korean culture and food with the horror that occurred in Virginia last week is incredibly irresponsible.

Homicidal tendencies driven by insanity have nothing to do with ethnicity, social influence, culture, or movies. It has happened in all cultures and times.

The event is tragic and it's horrible. The man was insane - plain and simple. The reason the murders occurred is because an insane man acted in an murderous way. The only reason so much speculation follows an event like this is because people want to try to explain and blame to dilute the raw horror of the reality.

Don't tarnish an entire culture just because of one insane and evil man's actions.

Sorry to be so direct, but I felt it was necessary for me to say.

yeah, that Koran pcycho having killed 32 people has nothing to do with Koran culture. Pcycho exists everywhere, it's not about the nationality or country or culture.

It's silly to associate an individual behavior with the whole nationality.
