When is it gonna be enough?

We only know the person you choose to show us.

At least I make the attempt. At least I don't think I perfectly know someone just based on a few comments. At least I attempt to watch how I'm behaving and then own my stupid behavior and flaws.

Some people have nowhere else to vent but online. A fourth of people my age have no close friends, including me. And it's not from lack of trying. I've reached out and tried to be friendly for years, and I got tired of people neither noticing nor caring.

I think you are correct.......Don't know that they are the ONLY reason for the sudden explosion, but one would have to be a fool to not know that they have served to desensitize our children/young adults/and even older adults who grew up playing them.

The "gun" is not to blame for these murders.......that is true. If every gun in the Country were to suddenly disappear, folks would just find another way to kill someone..........BUT....... semi automatic weapons that can be modified to fully automatic and the xtra large clips that are being sold DO make it possible for evil people to murder many, many more innocent people in a much shorter time.

Not too many instances of a knife wielding kid going into a school and killing 20 or so Students, Teachers, and others........or those wielding rocks/bats/or pretty much any other device that could be used to kill someone.

That is why the NRA and all supporters of the 2nd Amendment NEED to realize that the time has come to sit down and reach some common sense solutions to the problem. OR just KILL 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT.......

Mrs. Pacman was even WORSE!

I will be your friend. But please stop bad mouthing people. Go back and read how often you do that.

Maybe I don't want to be your friend. Why would I want to be friends with someone who's not willing to take their own advice?

Just can't IMAGINE why you would be struggling to find friends!



















Yes. That's sarcasm.

Regardless, be consistent and call out ALL violent media, books, movies, games, whatever.

Just can't IMAGINE why you would be struggling to find friends!



















Yes. That's sarcasm.

You have no clue what you're talking about. Kids didn't go out in droves and hound their parents to but them violent books and violent movies were nothing like they are today.

You have no clue what you're talking about. Kids didn't go out in droves and hound their parents to buy them violent books and violent movies were nothing like they are today. Those same kids would camp out at the local electronics store so they could get the newest shooter game. Anyway, done with you and this thread. Adios.

Oh movies back then were way more violent. Bonnie and Clyde. The Godfather. Red Dawn. Die Hard.

Have you looked at any movies from the 1920s? They're more graphic and violent than a lot of mainstream stuff today. And by the way, there's a difference between gun violence in movies and shooting guns in movies.

I've seen all of those. They were nothing compared to movies like Kill Bill.

Are they? Bonnie and Clyde's ending is one of the most violent I've ever seen. If that scene were in Kill Bill, they'd put it in black and white like they did with half the movie.

Again, watch more movies from the 1920s, if you can find them. And don't give me that excuse of "They didn't know what was acceptable yet!"

Tons of nudity, graphic violence, porn, smoking, drinking, all that stuff.

No one's going to watch bonnie n clyde or the godfather or any other movie and be inspired to do a mass shooting. The thing with video games is that it's the player that is doing the shooting and he/she gets addicted to racking up thier score and honing their shooting skills AND they play it when they want release from stress, etc.. It makes them feel good. That is the connection between shooter games and mass shooters.

Then why did these two kids in the 1970s read this book by Stephen King about a kid holding his class hostage, and then do the same thing? By the way, after those incidents, King put that book out of print. You know why? He knew it was inspiring people.

People can be inspired by anything violent to do violent things themselves. Don't blame it all on video games. If anything, the past was even more violent than it is now. Look at Prohibition Era America. Look up the Valentine's Day massacre. Ah, the good old days. When racism was at its peak and gangsters were killing each other over illegal alcohol.

Ok so you know everything and I don't even though I've lived here in the US all my life and remember when mass shootings became frequent. You obviously have something to prove and have no real desire for understanding and I've been stupid enough to play along. Well I'm done. You can continue your self-righteous, arrogant little game with someone else.
