Are these really the things people are point fingers at? Video games and metal music. Ridiculous. Obviously we have a serious mental health issue. But pointing fingers at things like this is just childish. Simply because he was wearing a The Acacia Strain sweatshirt. Sad times we are living in.

It's easier to blame that than the person for being an idiot!

The video games certainly can make the sick minds sicker.

So it's harmless to expose Godless, unsocialized, mentally ill to hours upon hours of unsupetvised shoot'em up/beat'em up/blow'em up gore and simulated violence and you expect something else?

Is there any form of study that has supported that?

BTW, the last one to raise this point on the national stage was second lady Tipper Gore.

Sure, it is a catalyst, but what is the root of the problem? What causes it gherkin?

What are differences in our culture now as compared to 50 yrs ago?

Saying things like target practice and hunting have no effect on people but video games do is a double standard.

More than we could name in hours

Sorry wrong! Do individuals spend 6 plus hrs using those terms or do many spend that much time per day on violent video games? Not a fair comparison.

What? Which comment are you replying to? My comparison of hunting to video games?

Companies spend 100s of millions of dollars on advertising that is probably less effective at promoting a product than the hours of video "play" killing does on young minds.

Go back in time to before this sort of thing was happening and ask yourself what the difference is between then and now and you have the answer but be honest. Don't put your spin on it at take a real look you will have the answer staring right at you. Remember the world then and now.

Yes of the 1000s of things that have changed in our world we can conclude that video games or heavy metal are to blame. Telling someone not to put a spin on things is pretty ironic in this forum.

Boar Coon. Yes. But here is a better thought . Recently I attended my 50th HS reunion. About 40 of us present. One thing in common amongst us with only one exception. Everyone was the product on a single income family. More parents around for young children growing up?
O “I work because I want a career “
No! You work because you need a job to pay bills and taxes. Maybe we need to simply tell the truth.
