Why do so many American men want to murder?

2. Just a way to feel powerful and so much quicker and easier than working for real success.

The grit and determination of step by step bettering of one's condition has given way to the quick short cut wherever possible. I have a number of male relatives that took the easy answers and short cuts over their life whenever they were faced with a tough life choice and if they had worked harder and focused they would have been much better off. Now they in their 50s+ and seeing all the bad or short sighted choices they made and feel like life left them down. They won't get to murder but I can see that many make even worse choices and realize they missed their shot. The future does not look bright and maybe I'll just go out in a blaze of "glory". A lot of this is a male thing but it is fed by our sad sack culture and depleted morals.
