So an emotional drive for vengeance can be strong enough to overpower rational altruistic higher thinking. Who'd a thunk?
What's more punishing - death or a lifetime in prison?
One article in Finland claims that lack of women may drive young men into depression and lunacy and that there are too many such young men in nordic countries today.As a kid, Breivik encountered typical schoolyard troubles. “At the end of sixth grade I noticed that he began to become a bit of an outsider. He was getting a bit bullied,” the friend notes. Unable to deal with rejection from those around him, Breivik reportedly turned to the gym, lifting weights and taking steroids to bulk up in an attempt to mitigate his inferiority complex.
He also allegedly attempted to improve his outward appearance with the help of a plastic surgeon. The friend alludes to the fact that he went under the knife a few years ago in the U.S.: “He was very pleased. He had had surgery on his forehead, nose and chin.” The pictures of Breivik that have circulated recently, culled from Facebook and other online sources, seem to portray a put-together man. It's fitting, then, that the friend describes him as a perfectionist.
Despite a clean shave and well-coiffed hair, Breivik was still unlucky in love. “He has never had a girlfriend, as far as I know,” the friend told Dagbladet, and Breivik may have never even been with a woman. He denied being gay, despite a photo of him dancing at the 2004 gay pride parade in Oslo. Breivik talks up his desire for women in his manifesto, claiming he's "fit like hell" and writing that women approached him on occasion.

But there are SOME that define justice in terms of retribution which IS vengeance.
I had no problem with what you had to say and didn't take it personally at all. You had every right to express displeasure with the direction the thread was taking if you felt the need. I'm still perfectly fine with splitting my tangent out of this thread because I have no desire to give people the impression I'm using a tragedy to score political points. That would be tremendously inappropriate.As you can see, I deleted what I wrote. I found it unfair to target you specifically.
Shake hands?
As far as your Wikipedia link is concerned, do you really expect to be taken seriously with that? I'd think you would know better by now than to quote something from Wikipedia if you want to seem credible.
Well it seems like Glenn Beck has managed to thoroughly embarrass himself with a completely obtuse comment on the situation.
