Ok, I'm pissed.
Some of you have heard (not sure about you people in the US, but at least the people in Europe) of the school masacre in Germany that happened recently. A 17 year old boy shot students, random bypassers and even the police force.
Fucked up, yes.
And now, what do the media do? For Christ sake, they need someone to blame. You know what I read online "The boy played the game Counterstrike".
Of course it's the game's fault. Of course it is. Don't mind the fact that boys like him have few friends, have parents who abuse them, are bullied every day at school, watch the fucked up world every day on the evening news, face the hypocrite of religion. No, nothing of this could screw up a human being, it was nothing else but the game.
I am sick and tired of hearing the media and politicians blaming a game, A GAME! There's something seriously wrong with kids who go and shoot their fellow students. They can't blame the parents, the school or even the kid himself; no it's the game that fucked him up.
Games does NOT create blood-thirsty maniacs. The kids know the difference between fantasy and reality, they're not stupid.
Stop blaming the games, you turds!!!

Hysterical 
the society just needs something to blame, and they can't blame themselves because it'll ruin their reputation and whatnot. it's a bunch of bs. i swear, i'm so sick of hearing that video games are the cause of everything bad that goes on in the world. heck, i play Gears of War and i don't go around shooting every person that i come across, thinking they're a Locust.
it's called common sense, y'know? people take their chances and do stupid crap, regardless of what they see in games. :/
Human nature, I suppose...
Just because I like lara craft and shooting games or holding a toy gun in my hand, doesnt mean im gonna go out and shoot people Oo
there is a BIG, HUGE difference between a game and reality... and how the hell did a seventeen year old get a gun?!! huh?!!!
but we haven't heard shit about that have we...
sooo, my brothers plays counterstrike and games like that, does that mean that they'll turn out incredibly violent and get a gun and start shooting people... NO!! it won't....
and even if they did they wouldn't be able to get their hands on a gun.!! HAH!! so there...
if you actually do something like that there is something seriously wrong with your head..!
Games have some part in it, only in the aspect they distance a person from reality. Just like art, books, music, movies. Anything that is fantastic can do this. But it's not specifically the fantastic thing's 'fault'. It's a danger a person needs to know if they have problems, or have a child with problems, though, and deal with that appropriately. That young man already had problems, and the game exacerbated that. Sadly, had he had grounding from family or counseling, it likely never would've gone to that.
