Well, looks like this is my cue to go cry myself to sleep over the sheer stupidity of my species. Good night everyone!

English is not my native language, but is interchangeable being applied correctly here? Doesnt seem so from the definitions I read. Anyway in my old ethics and psycology classes in university, fear and respect are the opposite in relations of power between people.emeraldrafael said:
OT: Another fucked up kid. Now he will spend life in jail most likely without any1 to visit him. And I hope he is not allowed to play any videogame there.
That's my thoughts also, no one just "snaps" from losing a console like that, sure I'd get annoyed if someone took my console that I PAID FOR, but beatings and murder and burning your own mother? good god...dbmountain said:
Someone is going to invariably blame violent video games for this, but I'm guessing there's some deeper psychological issues involved here.
This is Awful! How could someone do something like that...
I didn't need those Images in my head, The sad truth is, The mother may be Responsible. She must have raised him or disciplined him wrong in some way, Maybe there was no discipline.
The Media is going to blame Video Games, When everyone knows the Parents Raise the Kid.

That all sounds really bad, but what is a claw hammer? I never seen one of those.
Well I'll put this down to bad parenting, if you never made it clear to your kids what ending someone life means then sh*t is bound to go bad.
Then again in US even cops gun down everyone they don't like so maybe there needs to be a "What it means to kill" class for that in school.

*avoids tasteless joke*
Thank god I managed that.
Anyway, it's sad and makes me terrified to have kids. Or even be married. My god, the people you should trust and feel safe around the most are the ones to kill you.

I'm just overly pissed about the intelligence level of the human gene pool, and it seems...8bitlove2a03 said:

I can already see that the pool has now become many puddles of sporatic brain activity. This story does nothing to stem that anger in me from rising.
An interesting note, it's kinda wild how no one in the media nowadays has taken to counting how many times they've reported on BLAMING THE TOOL without BLAMING ITS CREATORS first, you know? I wonder how they explained Billy the Kid's attitude and actions back then? Over-obsessing stickball? And what about The Crusades, or The Spanish Inquisition or tens of other religious based "activities" like that? But, the one thing that seriously pisses me off to no end, besides people who do not possess the mental capactiy to care for, let alone give birth to, children is...
<spoiler=The one argument I have YET to see made ANYWHERE>
Before any, ANY video game was ever CREATED and shown to the public, the human race has had TWO FRIGGIN WORLD WARS! And I'm pretty sure the cause of THOSE wasn't that someone got pissed over not seeing that striaght line block in Tetris for over 3 hours. Guaran-fucking-teed.
Urrrrrgh. *ahem* (-.-)>[~] Kirby has offered you tissues so as you cry yourself to sleep, you can make sure that no one can accuse you of wetting the bed.
Also, judging by the kid's statement, "she was the only person who cared for me," it's clear the he has some social issues.Ziadaine said:
I feel as if there are too many articles relating violent acts in real life with videogames (like this one) but they fail to clarify that the videogames were not the sole cause of the violent act in the first place. More people should familiarize themselves with the phrase "Correlation does not imply causation."
This kids an idiot and deserves to go to prison. Kids can't deal without their CoD these days and it's pathetic
"I couldn't stand the arguing," Lucke said, reading the youth's statement.
Arguing...
Not mom taking my stuff. So the Playstation links this to videogames when this disturbed youth would have done the same if it was to take out the trash, come home early, leggo my eggo...
Parents nag, normally wanting the best, and sometimes skewing a good intention...
But if -arguing- was the trigger, the console was not the reason for this... lots of pent up anger and obviously a mentally instability built on it...
It's like trying to say a murdering, rapist, child skinning, cannibalistic loon was only motivated to snap because he listened to Justin Beiber.
Bad taste in music yes, but you look at the other problems...that was the least of that persons flaws...

Thanks so much. You're really doing the image of the gaming community favours by doing shit like this. I mean, ffs.
Ugh. Dick.
Ugh. Dick.
Well that's something. Unfortunately I doubt many people will acknowledge that. Because it's easier to blame games than *Le Gasp!* actual family problems! :OCarlston said:
