Am I kind of wrong for feeling sorry for the undie bomber?
To me this is a boy who had far too much testosterone, a not untypical angry student, except he took things way too far and way too stupidly.
He ran Anti War groups with people who now disown him, including politicians known internationally for very obvious reasons, such as George Galloway.
He most certainly got in with the wrong people, in great probability fueled by his youth.
He is in his early 20s, facing the rest of his life in a top security prison because he was stupid.
I just can not imagine being him, when his testosterone calms down to normal levels and he wakes up out of this rage and finally gets what the **** has he done. Especially when he looks at a prison sentence that will not be over even after he is dead.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7411073Well, after he got finished blowing his balls off, I imagine his testosterone levels dropped pretty quickly.
And I want to know who these wrong people are. Every time some thug kills a bunch of people, or gets caught knocking over a liquor store, or carjacking someone, we always hear some pinhead saying he's a good boy who just started hanging with the wrong people. The criminals are never the wrong people. These wrong people dudes must be hell on wheels, but they never seem to get arrested for anything. No one even knows who they are.

4. I hope you can understand what I am saying though.
His stupidity means that there is no way out for him. None. He will face a prison sentence that only American and China can serve, 130 years or something like that. All for young student rage gone way too far.
I do not feel sorry for him per-se but I do feel sorry for the waste of talent and the waste of opportunity that he himself caused.
Waste of talent? He tried to crash an airplane, and just burned his balls off! Talent?!?

3. It is not testosterone that drives him to attempt to murder several hundred people...
so he can find God.
No, he was looking forward to those 72 virgins - who are safe from him now, since his junk has all been vacuumed up off the carpet of that airliner.
This guy sounds like OMC:

9. If he understood the consequences of his actions, then his mind is strong enough...
to spend the rest of his life in his body in a maximum security prison utilizing socialist health care.
A lot of people have weak minds. That is why Chocolate Ice cream and pot sell so well

5. I do feel sorry for him
As another poster has already said, your feelings are just that - your feelings. No one else is required to share or approve them.

10. I do not require anyone to share my feelings.
I;m just saddened by the waste of what could have been a talented life.
Yup, he showed a lot of promise. Fire in the hole!

18. Another viewpoint......
In a way this makes sense. How can we hold this poor young man innocent for actions that a group of extremists brainwashed him into taking?? If he was convinced to carry out these terrible actions then why can't we take a few years and convince him to spend his time doing good for the world?

8. Timmy McVeigh.
Are you wrong or are your feelings wrong? Nah. Feelings are what they are.
But the "boys will be boys" that you just posted, well, I'm one o' them "ball bastin'," "man-hatin'" feminists and I'm not buying that.
If we have a generation of "testosterone poisoned" males floating around this planet...I'm not willing to use that as an excuse to let them rape and murder people

20. I often do not disagree with ball bustin man hating feminists.
McVeigh was another lunatic filled up with far too much male testosterone, except with him his rage was actually encouraged and paid for by the US, and then they asked for some of the money back.
I can not enter that mentality, for many reasons I have an estrogen imbalance and always have done from a very early age. The results of that, I do not get to play in ball swinging displays.
Anger is directly related to testosterone.
Rape as a perversion is not limited to men.

22. So he is just young and dumb.....
and brainwashed into thinking this was his only purpose in life. How can we hold him personally responsible for this? Why is it right to hold him responsible and make him take all the blame when it was really the influences in his life that made him do it? I think that with just a little rational thinking we can see that it isn't his fault but rather the people around him that are to blame. We should find them and make them pay the amount due.

15. Wait....you feel sorry for him because his bomb didn't go off properly???
So now you see him as some pawn that was duped into believing all this crazy shit to try to kill Americans??
Gee, good thing his bomb didn't work or you could make him a martyr for all the other testosterone raging idiots out there who also want to blow us all up.
Did you wonder how long it would be before the MIHOPpers showed up?

17. how about just maybe...
this guy was told by CIA acting as Al Qaeda, told this man that he could do this and get to heaven.
He didn't even have a means of setting off the explosive...don't you think that if they wanted to blow up the plane,
he would have been given the proper tools?
I submit for your discussion, that this is merely another false flag operation intended to line the pockets of interests invested
in airport security.
I just read that 1/2 of all cargo on any plane never goes through any security...and we are worried about body scans?
