Not again

It's the old one again, blame the games as we don't know the real reason.

Yes, I can get worked myself but I don't go out looking for victims. In the cold light of day it's most likely to be a great number of thing that affect our lives.

Yeah...they tried to blame guns too. Nobody wants to look at the fact his guy was a certified nut and even his parents were afraid of him.

I am kind of wondering why none of these topics are being posted in the existing 3-page VT thread?

Because it is a new topic. It has more to do with violent video games and less to do with this particular slaying. They are only loosly linked.

CCIP · 04-18-07, 02:14 PM

Right, in this case it's a wider issue.

I'm trying to remember who said this quote, but it went like this - "It's not the video games. It's crappy parents raising stupid kids."

That pretty much sums it up for me :hmm:

Seems like quite a stretch, but I guess the mods know best.

Its the sane trying to make sense of the insane. Human beings try to make sense of their enviroment. Insanity cannot be explained by pointing fingers and recrimination.

Yeah. Everytime I get spawn killed in Red Orchestra I go to school with a gun.
