Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Did you know that some psychiatric group put out guidelines on respibly reporting on mass murders to avoid copycats?

They suggest the following:
Don’t start the story with sirens blaring
Don’t have photographs of the killer
Don’t make this 24/7 coverage
Do everything you can NOT to make the body count the lead story
[and] not to make the hero some kind of anti-hero
DO localize this story to the affected community and make it as boring as possible in every other market."

Oh well...


You expect facts sir? facts don't sell newspapers, assumptions, speculations, bodycounts and violence do, there's a reason you rarely see feel good stories on the front page, other peoples misery is much more profitable.

Dammit another snipe missed

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Computer game addiction can be as destructive as any addiction so denying that as a cause is just wrong. It may very well be the primary cause of shootings or a combination of things only time will tell. You can't say that shooting people in the face 300x a day on a screen does not slightly de-sensitise you to it especially if you lose a grip on reality.


Try reading some of the actual research that was done post 1990 that showed quite conclusively that desensitizing is BULLSHIT plain and simple. It is a buzzword from a generation that was scared of everything and to busy to find out if the psychobabble they were spouting even made sense.

If a video game makes you lose the grip with reality you were already a ticking bomb waiting to explode. I blame the country music.

Video games are not the issue. It's like blaming hamburgers and ice cream for making you fat.

Mental health is.

He dyed his hair to look like the joker you bunch of drooling fools.



How in the holy name of Jesus on sacred roller skates can this be pertained to MMORPG's? How can it even be pertained to Batman for that matter? 10 years ago they blamed the Matrix for columbine, a movie that is no longer relevant in the mainstream, unless you are a fan (like myself) it is more or less out of sight and out of mind. Today the new thing to cast blame on is batman. Well how about this little bit of wisdom you bunch of shortbus wikiwarriors?



How about he is just crazy?



Did crazy somehow remove itself from the English language? Why must there be blame cast on anything? How about he is just nuts and would have eventually manifested his crazy in some form, one way or the other. Why do I keep posting here? You people are like at grade school level cognitive perception.
