SA, ASIA, Africa, Indian Sub-continent... all are being stripped, and the indigineous people killed, dislocated, their cultures and knowledge wiped out!

More points for indiginous tribes and endangered species.
Snipers standing at the edge to shoot any who run out screaming with their heads on fire.

I've been playing video games for half of my life, violent ones even, and I've not killed anyone yet. This is a crock of a reason to excuse inappropriate behavior and attempt to avoid responsibility for your own actions.

OK, so YOU havent KILLED anyone yet. thats a poor analogy and you know it - if someone else had given that type of an answer you're fingers would be flying on your keyboard so quickly that you'd short something out. Also, to be honest, I really was expecting a better arguement than that from you after I read the initial post.
You havent killed a person yet but I can think of more than one game that nearly caused you to lost ALOT.
Also, (and I feel this is a valid question) I want someone to please explain to me the entertainment value of desensitzing a person and teaching them to kill. There are other games that do not support such a negative energetic. Whats the point? Why even create it? And why in the world would an adult want to purchase that, given what it is? I dont get it. Im glad I dont.

If I'm mad at my job or teacher or something, I go on a virtual GTA3 rampage, blow some stuff up, cap a few people, and then I feel better. Parents are to blame for this stuff because some people either have a loose grasp on reality or are too young to be seeing stuff like that. However, If you're over 18 and you can legally take care of yourself, go for it, and if you kill someone, it's not the game's fault, it's yours.
DKSuddeth said:so, are you blaming the game, the parents, or the situation that klebold and harris dealt with as bullied individuals for taking bombs and guns to school and killing a dozen people before killing themselves?

Hobbit said:The parents, mainly, althought I can't recall the case right off hand, so it could have been the situation (which can usually be improved by parents). I can't think of anything that would make me blame the game.
Seriously, there is just something wrong (in my opinion, that is) with relieving stress by offing 'people' in a game.
Also, Ive never understood the allure for a grown man to spend 12+ hours a DAY on a damned game. I dont get it. That time would be better spent doing other things.....(yes dk that was for you from your EverCrack days)
