Its easy to blame the the games, etc, because its just easy. And well it can happen. After all thats why games, movies, etc have a r type rating system mostly. like r18. Ofcause this is not law, you can buy an r 18 game even if you are yung. I think even if you have a parent with you you shouldn't be able to buy an m game or an r18 game or whatever age it is until you are at that age. The same thing happened with my toshiba when its modem died, the techs firstly blamed windows. So I did a reformat and said windows is all right. Then they said the modem was off, which I know for a fact I can't turn off. And then they finally replaced the dead modem. So this sort of thing is not new, it happens all the time. As humans if we get into strife or anything we will find the easiest and most believeable target to kill and do just that.
