I stole this from the Opeth forum, but I thought you all would like to read it.

Wow. I wish someone would attack me with scissors so I could beat them with a rock.

I was a jumper in school... I had friends in all the cliche groups, but didn't fall into any of them. Once people started learning that I listened to metal, I was shunned by some of the groups. Good friends stopped talking to me because I listened to a particular kind of music... when I could care less what they listened to. Most of my friends in Highschool listened to Rap. None of my friends listened to Metal, just me.

Moe : Why don't you invite him over to dinner? Turn him from an enemy into a friend. And then when he's not expecting it...bam! The ol' fork in the eye.
Homer : Do you think it might work without the...fork in the eye?
Moe : There's always a first time.

It's the fault of the education system. IMO, with capable people we could brainwash kids into being totally affable. I'd be happy with pleasant automatons as opposed to mental children.
shit that sucks hard...
The attackers should be judged like adults and sent to prison.
Gangs and shit like that is really retarded, it is like religion. it is like: omg lolzors i\'m gonna kill you cause you are muslim/christian/jewish or anything. it is like the rap jihad, or metal crusade and shit.
it is really really stupid.
if i was in the place of the stabbed girl, long before the stabbing, when people started offending her i would have punched them in the face and then kicked their balls if they were guys.
i agree with derek it is the fault of the education system.

yes it's these children/people who aren't secure enough in who they are to not feel the need to belong to a group. And unfortunately when people are brought up and taught in schools to feel that way it gets increasingly harder to change as they get older, if they're able to at all.
I had no problems with that type of thing at my highschool because I was lucky enough to go to a Highschool for the arts where I played Jazz piano in a group for three years and got to play the piano for 3 hours a day. It was fantastic!! and there were many many metalheads!!
However in middle school people used to think my friends and I were witches and of course we just went with it because if you're ignorant enough to assume something like that based on a person's appearance and musical preference, you deserve to get messed with tehe.. We'd tell people we've cursed people and made them do things with our wiccan powers. etc.. It was fun.. People were actually scared of us at one point. hehe

Nature, nurture.
Embrace difference, put sanctions upon reproduction and reintroduce education into the education system. Pragmatic and simple.

No. I'd say it's the fault of parents. The individual parents of the girl who did the stabbing, and the parents of everyone else who has grown up to be a little shit and influenced each other, in believing that it's ok to do this sort of thing (knowing full well that they'll get away with it. If I did somethign like that to someone at school, I'd have had my parents to deal with, nevermind the police and court, they'd have got whatever wa sleft of me). Not being taught (by parents, morals are not the job of any school) to tolerate 'difference' is the reason for this.
Not that it's really anything new. My mum was bullied at school and was nearly thrown off a train by them, and that was nearly 40 years ago, all because she was tall.
Schools are supposed to teach maths, sciences and stuff like that... last I went.
