I just wanted to link this video because it is a pretty decent comparison. Even though I sort of hate those guys' cocky/arrogant attitude.

I know it's fake. I'm one of the most non-violent people you could meet. And I PLAY all these "horrible" games. I've been punched square in the face, and just walked away.



So is my nephew. He is a big gentle giant and gets harassed at airports but he watches all sorts of violent movies and plays those violent video games...yet he is a pussy cat. Wouldn't hurt a fly. He just looks scary.

Just because YOU or the two of you are that way how can you make a generalization about everyone else? How can you use yourself as a scale to represent everyone?

You are a study of one.

I am happy you do not fit the mold, but if you lift your head away from the screen for a second, see that there is a mold and that a great many people fit it. Look at the studies.
Why do you think there are age restrictions and warnings? Because they are harmless?.

That's a great vid. A young man was killed playing football very recently here in Australia.

Thanks again.

Ratings I agree with, lots of games shouldn't be played by children. In fact almost every game I've played shouldn't be played by children. But those games aren't being developed with children in mind either, they're for adults. The gamers who grew up playing super mario and sonic grew up and want something that appeals to them as adults.

Well your nephew is actually what the vast majority of gamers are like. I've never met a violent person who played games. In fact the most violent people I've met are actually sports players. Footballers in general.

I've also met some great guys who played footy too. So does football desensitize people to violence too? I've got nothing against footy, but kids watching grown men push each others faces in the dirt, spear tackle and then get into a punch up on national television might be a bad influence too.

I don't blame this on any outside influence. This was probably a fight over something insignificant that snowballed into him murdering his parents.

That's what I think anyway.

Agreed. Totally.

I feel like you are using this site for an outlet to express your anger.

Nowhere does it say that this site is for displaying the horrific murder of people, as you say.

I am under the impression that this site is for uncovering and discovering conspiracies and the like and for getting opinions of like-minds.

I have no use for 'blinders'. If it weren't for the rebuttal to my reply by people like yourself I wouldn't have the further chance to explain myself, and my opinion would get buried under the wet blanket of grief that this kind of story spreads.

Once this has actually happened and has been discovered, there seems to be no reason to spread the news of it unless the teen in question may be at-large and further harm can be done.

I do not fault you for wanting to know the news. I simply wish we could turn our efforts as a people and a society to more uplifting matters.

As a matter of fact, had it not been for this article, my opinion and feelings would not have been in print for anyone to see.

Now I have confused myself.


Namaste.

outh to commit the violence lessening the impact import or consequences of those acts by seeing them everyday in video games and on TV or movies like SAW ...are right.


First off stop blaming the video games for the killings, First off his a drop out, dropouts are always known to have issues, secondarily why aren't you blaming all this on the american culture? style of life eh?


In Russia and Europe these types of killings are very rare and happen only 1% to 5% of the time, people in eupore depending where you live, euporean families care for each other and are more family oriented.

However if i recall the american culture parents always force there children to leave the house until there 18? i think thats pretty stupid teens at 18 aren't mature completely until 21, 20.

And its no wonder why everyone is calling las vages the Sin City because of the crimes right?

As in this case i would be blamed it on the lifestyle, parents had no control over there kid,you can bet he was hanging out with the wrong Friends.

Why is it always Florida? I mean really, is it the hot tropical temps down there, or what? Every time I turn on the news it's something horrific from Florida!
