I'm sorry, I stopped listening right around the time you called the writer of the article a 'dumbass' just because he doesn't share your point of view. Ad hominems being thrown...recent join date...flurry of personal insults...if it quacks like a duck...
Also, at least four people in this thread think that you're trolling. I'm not alone in thinking that by any stretch of the imagination. Make of that what you will.
My point of view? The author [of the article] is a dumbass because just like the rest of you imbeciles
[snipped stream of 'you're wrong because you're wrong' ad hominems]
As for me being a troll, that might offend me if I actually had any respect for you or your seriously flawed point of view.
But
clearly, I'm the troll here. And the four other people who agreed with me are all wrong. All hail Fox News!
Grow up, your little Internet Tough Guy [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InternetToughGuy] shenanigans aren't impressing anyone.
You are aware that I actually do think you are a moron, based solely on your complete inability to comprehend the point of the FOX broadcast, and my subsequent commentary into the foolishness of bashing something just because that's what everyone else is doing.
While you have yet to raise even ONE valid point in the baseless attacks on FOX for this piece, I have been able to clearly outline, why the game is not for children, why parents should be aware of its content, and why FOX was correct in bringing it to light. I also derided FOX for their mis-informed linkage of video games to violence, as there is no hard data on the subject. That said, I also pointed out how ridiculous it was to say that violence in movies and video games( when exposed to already troubled children, especially those whose parents aren't paying enough attention to what they are doing) has NO impact on a child's behavior. I rebuffed the idea that FOX "isn't news" by pointing out the glaring similarities in the programming schedules of all of the major news networks. I back up my assertion of the games violence with my own personal experiences as an owner/gamer. And I pointed out the hypocritical nature of an entertainer like John Stewart, who bashes news stations for presenting fluff pieces while taking no responsibility for the fact that most of the idiots in his audience look no further than his show for their news.
You on the other hand called me a troll and joined the ranks of the "can't walk and chew gum at the same time" who's biggest contribution to this thread was to regurgitate the idea that FOX, by nature of having a contrary point of view to that of the other ridiculously biased media is some how worse, just because you don't happen to agree with their talk show hosts.
So please believe me when I say that I am in no way posturing for the internet and I would have no issue calling you a complete, straight down to the core, can barely tie your own shoes, moron, right to your face, over and over and over again.
Oh and you're wrong because, being right actually requires you to make a point and present some facts, neither of which have you come close to doing.
- FOX presented a piece about MW2.
- They asked the question if the game went to far.
- They suggested that letting children play the game where you can participate in a massacre might be bad.
- The placed almost ALL of the onus on the parent.
- The did not attack the game makers directly.
Those are facts. Argue with that.
