Video games tied to school shootings once more...

Didn't someone else say that exact quote somewhere else? I'm pretty sure it was that one asshole who stole a cop car and killed two police officers. Anyone know what i'm talking about? Apparently, that guy was obbsessed with GTA3.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
See the problem isn't the videogames it's those crazy folk who get to absossed
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I don't see anywhere in the article that they outright blamed video games for this shooting. They mentioned it in passing as they gave as much background information on the person as they could.
I think the title of "Video games tied to school shootings once more..." is jumping the gun a little bit. Wait until the wrong person reads the line

The media is obnoxious. Correlational issues can't prove any sort of cause or effect issues. It also can't disprove the more likely concept that those who are likely to act violenty are likely to be attracted to forms of media containing violence.
Theres a higher probability of cause and effect concerning violent behavior from television and movies than video games actually. Although, we wouldn't want to mention that now... would we? FELIPE NO

The person who is unstable to begin with is much more likley to commit acts of violence after playing violent video games than when a well adjusted person plays them. This is when steps need to be taken before the event of violence. If a person is unstable to begin with, then they shouldn't be ignored and left to their own devices in the first place.

There's nowhere I can't reach. GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against COBRA. A ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. 24 can't jump the shark. Jack Bauer ate the shark long ago. Now 24 can only jump the water, and that doesn't mean anything. - Jazzflight <Krizzzopolis> acid you are made of win. <Dissolution> And now my god damn scissors are all milky |

It's made with RPGMaker 2000. I've played it before and it's pretty crappy. You can just get it to "borrow" some of the resources in it, heh. Most amazing jew boots

You know Hillary Clinton is going to be jumping all over this one.

I'm pretty sure guys like Jack Thompson are fapping over this issue right now. Then again, why would they care about stuff that's happening in Canada?

Still, that's hardly enough to blame video games for the shooting. Even people who don't play video games could have made that statement. Anyways, I actually know Dawson College quite well and have visited it on a number of occasions. I didn't attend that Cegep, but it's pretty much the largest English Cegep in Montreal and accepts pretty much anyone in terms of grades. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, heck. Of course you blame video games if you're going to pull this sort of crap. I mean, otherwise you're responsible for your own actions, and who's going to admit that, right? I mean, hell.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. DAMN good coffee!

How ya doing, buddy? |
Well, it seems as though someone in the media doesn't think video games are the cause of all this pain and destruction. Good for them!

And it took a Canadian news site in order to state the obvious. Kudos to them. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I'm starting to see a patternt, the goverment attacks whats most popular atm. Like when comics first came out, or well after ww1, Congress attacked comics, and they weren't even that bad, well not near as bad as they are today. So now that video games, and MTV are popular, people blame them. What I can't understand is people can't see the real problem, the people who do it. Egh, stupids just can't understand that some people are evil, or atleast really really bad.
FELIPE NO sig police say: sig pics over the filesize limit need to be replaced.

You know what I realized? I think this asshole's trying to pull a Scream 2 on us from beyond the grave. Remember in that movie, the killer was going to blame his actions on the horror movies, therefore he'd be sentenced to be put in a mental institute instead of being put in death row or whatever? This is exactly what's going on!
Obviously, the pussy's dead, but since it won't be his actions that won't be blamed alone for this crime, he's putting some of the blame on some other thing so it would like he's a victim himself of brainwashing from the violent media and whatnot! Who else sees this? Does anyone get what I'm saying here? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
