No. They tend to hide behind someone else or pass the buck. The demand "personal responsibility" from others but as soon as they are caught with their fingers in the fudge they blame someone else. Right-wing... left-wing... as if there are no left-wing fruitcakes. Oh there are but the difference being that with leftwingers the fruitcakes are the exception wheras the right wingers are evil and sociopathic. Do we need changes in the way we both honor the constitution and honor our personal responsibility in the issue of firearms? Yes. Don't give guns to right wingers, -- J Planet Visitor II But it would be beneficial if we started teaching our children that violence is real and not an imaginary video game. Perhaps it might have actually prevented this macabre slaughter of innocent children. See --http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/adam-lanza-a-head-fu... The murderer of those children just happened to be a 20-year-old video game addict, which did not help his personality disorder, yet that is pushed under the rug by those who see only the gun and never the murderer as the real problem. Notice that I seem to be the only one even mentioning that video game violence is dangerous to our youth. Yet while giving them possession of firearms is obviously illegal, it is deemed as "sensible" to allow them to express an outlet for violence with video games such as -- 10 -- Original Carmageddon 9 -- Soldier of Fortune 8 -- God of War II 7 -- Gears of War II 6 -- Mortal Kombat! 5 -- Thrill Kill (Armed with syringes, cattle prods, severed limbs, and more, players simply beat the **** out of one another with grotesque, fetishistic and/or sexual maneuvers, always with the result of too many blood splatters to count) 4 -- Mad World (victims being splattered against the wall after being skewered on a lamppost. Or disposing of victims in a meat grinder) 3 -- Manhunt (Players sneak around in a 3-D environment and commit heinous acts of murder as part of sadistic practices such as decapitation, steel-object-to-the-brain impaling and even jamming a sickle up an unsuspecting victim's ass) 2 -- Grand Theft Auto III (the most sought after granddaddy of ultra violent gaming, including barbecuing prostitutes with flamethrowers. Total death, blood and mayhem) 1 -- Postal 2 (drop-kicking grenades and chopping up those who refuse to cooperate in the plot behind the story. Including using cat carcasses as silencers on their gun, teaching children that there is nothing wrong with killing cats and dogs and pets, which is well-known to be the common-denominator among serial killers). *** Those are only the top 10, in an arena filled with a vast quantity of different violent video games that glorify killing. But you insist they are not a problem. ***http://www.askmen.com/top_10/videoga...ent-video-game... Planet Visitor II |
