The only problem with that is the impact on those of us that aren't
emotionally or psychologically disturbed. I like duke nukems, DOOMs, Wolf
3Ds, etc... I think it's a parents responsibility to govern any aspect of
their children's lives that they are concerned about. Parents have the right
and authority to not buy the violent games or the toy guns for their kids.
Of course keeping your kid away from a violent video game is probably
pointless when you've got a couple of assault rifles and machine guns in the
closet. I know, I know, they're for hunting, and you definitely want to be
armed to the teeth when those vicious deer come at ya. If you can unload a
few hundred rounds into it in a very short period of time, your life is at
risk. I just read the other day about a terrible deer attach, killed an
entire hunting party, turned out they didn't have enough semi-auto assault
rifles and pistols.
As long as our country values the right to own weapons of destruction in the
name of protection and game hunting, we'll never get past this violence,
it's just too easily accessible. Even the most normal kids can just get
really mad and want to do something about the school bully, and it's sure
convenient to go up and get dad pistol..
If we had strict gun control then who would we need to protect ourselves
from? If the criminals couldn't get guns then people wouldn't think they
needed them in their houses.
I sure like my odds in knife or rock fight over those in a shoot out.

But we should all question the character of any company that would condone
the marketing of such games to impressionable people all in the name of
making a profit. These people should use their talents in more positive
pursuits.

Awwwwww..wittle Dances With Horsies don't be depressed..
*wiggles her earlobes in a non-depressed manner*
Don't lose sight of the whole topic though..which was basically that
whatever the real reasons for these kids' actions, it wasn't Violent Video
Games or the Entertainment Industry to blame..which is what is being
insinuated by the latest lawsuit, and by statements made by Senator Ashcroft
and Lieberman.
And I question once again the ***reasons*** for the smokescreen they are
presenting to the American public.
And also why the American News Media is only showing one side of these
arguments.Even Tech TV only showed one side. THey didn' have links to the
Surgeon General's Report, or the FCC report which does not match the wild
accusations which Lieberman and Ashcroft are making.
I'm of the opinion that those two boys were just stupid.
