Its disgusting that anti sematism exists in this day and age... anonymous January 17 2006, 23:49:03 UTC

...and its almost as bad that people belittle this serious problem by using video games as a convenient scapegoat.

I dont know what the solution is, but I do know that it isnt shying away from the real issues to bash video games.

It's disgusting that ANY bigotry exists in this day and age. No matter what forms it takes ( ... )

Or it could just be hilaryduffgta January 17 2006, 23:53:07 UTC

We have screwed up people in the world who are just a bit on the unstable side.But im sure they will find a way to turn this around and blame some video game.maybe mike tyson's punch out.

Dennis quick question any way that you can set it up so along with avatars we can have banners that show up with our posts?

It's a web fad. People like having big, mostly pointless banners to put in their message forum "sigs".

Ugh hilaryduffgta January 18 2006, 01:58:12 UTC

It's bad enough they're on real forums, but for the love of God(dess), can we please keep them off of here? So annoying...thank god for AdBlock! http://adblock.mozdev.org/

Copycats sir_bissel January 17 2006, 23:55:51 UTC

Haven't those always been around? Wasn't that kind of what was with the rash of school shootings after columbine?

interesting... anonymous January 18 2006, 00:05:21 UTC

how people quickly blamed video games. Next they will be blaming toys. I hate when people assume something without any evidence (Jack)

I dont remember if theyve ever been "blamed" for anything as such but I do recall occasional rants from soccar mum type people about toy guns that kids play with...

Dennis, I wonder sometimes about you... anonymous January 18 2006, 00:06:32 UTC

The school shootings in this country were often copycatted because of news coverage. This is nothing new. Jack Thompson

Re: Dennis, I wonder sometimes about you... coldacid January 18 2006, 00:08:55 UTC

Because of the news? So they weren't video games after all...

(Sorry all, but I had to say it. My /. sense was tingling.)

Re: Dennis, I wonder sometimes about you... hilaryduffgta January 18 2006, 00:10:50 UTC

So Kids Go and Kill other Kids because they saw or played a video game and decided to copycat it.and when they see news programs they also copycat that.Ok that doesnt explain anything But Believe what you will.

So One Hour Left before the deadline Jack.

Now if you will execuse me im gonna go copy this episode of spongebob squarepants where he kept riding giant Fishing Hooks.I'll Be Back later

Thompson politely informed me that he meant EST. The deadline was over two hours ago.
