You know what this is? This is the result of all that "Think of the children" bullshit. Kids don't get proper discipline anymore and thus become smart mouthed little shits. Not that that in any way excuses what Perry did of course. Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly feel the need to sanitize my Wii-remotes.Silent Biohazard Solid said:Rape is a despicable, horrible act, one of the worst known to mankind.
Having said that, mouthy pre-teens need to know when to shut the hell up and have some respect for their elders. Hopefully this is a lesson for everyone.
Its not that its over the mic, when kids are asses all the time, then their asses all the time. Parents just don't seem to want to make them respect elders, and many, many kids won't respect their elders because parents don't want to teach that. I have seen kids push ladies who had bloody walkers, seen them steal canes from old men, seem them be, sorry to use this words, pure cunts. I've seen them try to set fires, and then just left when I came to put it out, seem them pull knives on each other, and on me, seen them be despicable bastards. Its a good lesson for a kid to learn when to not speak. Does not mean this guy doesn't deserve what he gets, he deserves anything he gets, just parents should teach their kids right from wrong, not how to be wrong.Owyn_Merrilin said:Yep, you've summed it up quite nicely.ScrubberDucky said:As terrifying and sickening as that was, my first thought on the situation was "Oh shit, shitstorm inbound."
ITT: People blaming the child for instigating, people blaming the adult for not being responsible, people saying both were at fault, and finally, people saying either side was awesome for different reasons.
And it's posts like this that remind me of why I really hate certain elements of gamer culture. We get it, it's annoying when little kids go online and start shouting obscenities -- but it's not anywhere near as annoying as when a grown man does it. I've seen kids doing it once or twice. Adults do it all the freakin' time. Also, when it involves kids, I've had good success getting them to calm down because I'm an adult, a pre-service teacher, and I know how to get kids to listen to me. Seriously, all you guys whining about screaming pre-teens are just proving that you have no idea how to handle kids, or that you are kids yourselves. It's not /that/ difficult.Silent Biohazard Solid said:Rape is a despicable, horrible act, one of the worst known to mankind.

Wishing horrible things on kids because their parents are absent and you aren't mature enough to handle the situation? Yeah, that reflects well on both you and gamers as a whole.].
I'm sorry, but thats the problem right there, they end up becoming prick, does anyone remember Adolf? Well, he hated Jews, now lets just turn down the endless murders and change that to the guys who steal from old ladies then shoot their cats, then we have what happens when this lesson happens. All humans deserve respect, even just minimal amounts, but they do.dagens24 said:Second of all, the concept that because a person is older that they are somehow more deserving of respect is ridiculous.
And I'm saying, as a person who works with kids on a regular basis, and is only a year or so out from completing the training needed to do it for a living, that even if the parents refuse to actually do any parenting, it's really not that hard to get a kid's respect -- especially if they're still pre-teens. Older teens are another story, but it's still doable. Gamers are just bad at it, for some reason.Aprilgold said:Its not that its over the mic, when kids are asses all the time, then their asses all the time.

Don't forget the "I'm sick of this world", "I hate humanity" and "Can't wait to leave this planet" groups as well.TwoSidesOneCoin said:You forgot to add the whole "Video games drive people to commit rape crimes", "video games drive people to violence".ScrubberDucky said:As terrifying and sickening as that was, my first thought on the situation was "Oh shit, shitstorm inbound."

That being said, we can now properly /thread.
Although on a side note, I don't think many people will come to this thread and say the kid is awesome for being raped with a will remote.
