Yes, but people who commit mass murder are not.
Accroding to YOUR view of life. Hardly something to inflict on entire
populations.

Of course it is. People want to be remembered after death and this
is certainly one way to do it.

One way to do it, yes. Rational, no.
Again, according to you. This is very much goal directed behavior,
just because it doesn't fit within your psychological context (or mine,
for that matter) doesn't automatically make it mental illness.


Might be the only (rational) way some
people can see their way clear.

That's *not* rational.
Again to YOUR mind. The insistence on always calling everything you
don't seem to understand mental illness seems to be losing it
rationality to me.


That and avenging old wrongs, is more or
less rational.

So in what fashion is the mass murder of strangers "avenging old wrongs"? In
what fashion
is the mass murder of strangers "rational"?

What is it irrational.. other than you don't understand it?



It's a stupid decision, it's desperation, but it's not mental illness.

Suicide isn't, no. Mass murder is.
Not remotely always.

Ummm, yes. Always.
See above about rationality.
