@twztid13 No worries, I feel the left & the right are 2 sides to the same failing (and falling) coin. I feel its time for assessing the last 200 years, and make the best system according to that, because the one we currently have is obviously not cutting it much anymore. As it isn't just who is elected, the system (overtime) has become inherently corrupt.
@twztid13 Wait, are you seriously going to deny that for every shooting that happens there isn't a (considerable) collection of right wing nuts that want to blame everything on music, movies, video-games?
Of course the left is censory, which is why I don't support them, Though the right is too caught up in its traditional views & faith, and want to force them on everyone (and reason is a stretch for them).. It isn't just the left that is forceful my friend.
But the NRA is far from left! That is a collection of right wing followers, where the leader is all but blaming the above.
And for shits and giggles.
Patriot Act (republican)
National Security Act (republican)
Money = speech (republican members of the supreme court) Corporations are people (republican members of supreme court)
Invasive search on any arrest including wrongful arrest (republican members of the supreme Court)
But like you say, I guess Yay, for willful Blindness!
The right wing (the ones who worship, and for the majority comprise the NRA) will blame games, music, movies, books (when it isn't the bible)... yet when you point out to them that with that logic, the bible is one of the most violent, and sick books you can read. They say that's different....
The left will blame guns. Even though around the same time, on the other side of the planet, a similar thing happened, but with a knife.
Either way what will result, is a banning of something, a law passed for something, that they claim will fix the issue. Yes it is a tragedy that it happened, but with every tragedy like this, they will use it as a convenient excuse to remove rights & liberties, in the ILLUSION of being more secure. Instead of getting down to what cause all these issues, and what could fix them.
Not just shootings, but a lot of this crap. Take the fiscal cliff for instance.
This country has a real bad problem of lack of accountability, and responsibility, its literally been taught to us through various institutions. Religion, and Government being the biggest two.
I, and several of my friends have grown up playing all kinds of video games, including many violent ones.
I can account for at least 4 of us that are not only non-violent, but we hate to see real world conflicts resort to violence. But we can enjoy a game, or movie just fine if it has violence in it, as long as it is good regardless of the fact. Its different than seeing it in real life. Even though I have been gaming for over 25 years, I think I still have a pretty decent grasp on fantasy vs reality.
I know I have an anger problem personally, (the worst of the 4 of us) but I do not leash it out in a violent manner, and never to a living being (human, or otherwise)
Want to look at the real problems, the reducing of education... Family matters... The volatile economy... A debt based infrastructure, where money is the highest valued incentive. Now those are guaranteed to lead to real world violence.
Getting a PS3 soon, getting a lot of the collections.
Metal Gear HD
ZOE HD
Splinter Cell HD
The Ratchet and Clank HD collection.
I never got to play Ratchet and Clank though, its why I am starting with the HD collection. I loved games like Gex (the gecko) Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie. I am guessing these are kinda like that?
I was also looking into trying that Jax HD collection too!
