It has always been my theory that these imbeciles see something like this happen and then blame it on something that they have no knowledge on whatsoever.When Columbine happened in in 1999, I was 13 years old... and yet I still knew it was complete and utter bullshit when all of these high powered people were blaming it on video games and the music industry. For God sake, I have been watching horror films, listening to whatever music I want, and have been playing video games of every kind ever since the inception of the NES, and you don't see me going on a rampage. You don't see me jumping on peoples heads because of Mario, do you? I don't kick turtle shells at people. I don't shoot fire at people.
You don't see me punching people in the belly button...
What I do think is this. I think that it comes down to terrible parenting and the people that they surrounded themselves with. Look at the people who commit crimes. Mostly all of them are dicks, have dick/re-re parents, and hang around with jack off friends. Bad eggs create bad eggs... video games don't create bad eggs. If parents or a parent do a shitty job of taking care of their children, teach them nothing, and treat them like dirty laundry then yes, your children may grow up and shoot up a shopping center. If your friends commit crimes... steal, rape, vandalize... then yes you are going to be tempted into doing those sort of things. IT IS COMMON FUCKING SENSE. Sure, I was thrown into some situations in my life where I could have made a bad decision, be it drugs or even committing a crime. But I didn't do it. You know why? My parents fucking rock and raised me correctly. Because I hang out with awesome people who don't do that shit. That's why. And I play those same damn video games these killers are playing too. So don't give me that shit either. I play Call of Duty, and not once have I had the urge to grab my fathers gun and go to the elementary school. Not once.
Now for the real kicker. If these people in power keep blaming these murders on video games then I may even go to congress myself and give them a piece of my mind. By me saying that does not mean I am going to take a gun either... BECAUSE I AM NOT INSANE. Did I mention I play video games? The reason it makes me so upset is because it seems like these people are misinformed. I looked up these numbers today and was actually very interested in what I found. If I were to ask you how many people in the United States Congress, be it Senate of House, were in their 30's, would you be able to tell me? Go ahead take a guess...
14
That is right. 14 out of 415, or 3% of YOUR congress is in their 30's. Most of those people are about to turn 40 too. This age group were the only ones who even knew what video games were growing up. My brother is their age for Christ sake. I will break down the rest of the age groups now...
40's- 62, or 15%
50's- 136 or 33%
60's- 145 or 35%
70's- 46 or 11%
80's- 12 or 3%
I would honestly say that 15-20% of those people are so old they have no idea where they are let alone worry about anything but watching Murder She Wrote all day. I mean Jesus... Do you really even think most of those people have even PLAYED a video game? No. They just say this shit because someone tells them to and they need something or someone to blame. They need to just fess up to the fact that these people that do these things are just out of their damn minds. Plain and simple.
So what can we do to stop these killings? Well, what can we do to stop people from being out of their gourds? Nothing. Gun control will do absolutely nothing but make people angry, in my opinion. There is nothing you can do about any of this, no matter what anyone says. The fact of the matter is this... Video games do not make people violent, or crazy, or any other damn adjective you can think of. It is a form of entertainment that, yes, some crazy people take part in. They also probably eat vegetables. Does broccoli bring out the dark side in people? I think we should waste tax dollars on that next.
