At least here on cbid we usually post a link to the original article. If you don't realize how trash your sources were, then that makes me question any other opinion you might have because I know you probably got your information from a similar source.
Dude, why do you hate video games? I'm way younger than most on this board, but I can tell you most people my age have played their share of Call of Duty or Battlefield at some point or another. That was like when your parents told your dinosaur azz that the hippy music was going to rot your brain. Maybe it did?
It is harmless. It's the equivalent of shooting some hoops, reading a book, or watching a movie. You should try one some time.
DMV's Frank Zappa post was right on the money. Fix peoples mental health, fix the problems.
Just like television, hippy music, Ozzy, and everything else that came before it... video games do not make people lose their sh17. To believe that they do makes you just as ignorant as those who came before you.
lol, dumb.
I regretted getting personal the minute I hit post. Sorry i went there.
My grandkids play violent video games here sometimes. I know they're fun. I've tried them.
But I know they desensitize kids to death.
Any intro course in college psychology will tell you that.
Plus I'm just sick and tired of all and any events putting half of us on one side of the issue and the other half on the other side.
It used to be that we were all at least trying to find common ground when we disagreed.
I miss when dems and reps lived and were friends in Washington. More good things resulted. Now, I feel like the country is at war with itself. And the truth is dead.
Obviously school shootings won't stop until something causing them does.
My aim, even though the timing sucked, was to research causes and brainstorm here, not to get cigar smokers to march on washington.
'Wtf just happened?' was my way of mourning out loud.
