Anybody know if the new Costco 90 return policy applies to Video Game Hardware?  If not, I will just return my old 360 for 100% of its value and get a new Elite.

You know what, I keep telling myself that it's just dumb to believe in a curse...

Yet, I will probably have second thoughts if I have to pick that person on the cover to be a player in my fantasy league.  Guess I believe the curse!

Either situation could potentially sway somebody to go psychotic. It's not always their home life/what they play or watch that pushes these people over the edge.metallica_fan42

 Agreed. We may never know exactly what goes on behind the mind of a person who snaps and go on a rampage.  Yet, so call "experts" out there are trying to pin this on violent entertainment or video games when they should perhaps look at the bigger picture.

 I suspect that they don't want to because quite frankly, it's not politically correct to blame bad parenting or other social factors.  It's so much easier to point the finger at violent media or video games....

Hypothical #1

A loving parent who teaches his/her kid the differences between right and wrong, to be kind to your neighbors all the while letting the kid play the most violent of video games.

Hypothical #2

Irresponsible parents who let the kids do whatever they want, be rude to their peers, teachers and society in general and suffer no consequences for their actions no matter how terrible yet are not allowed to play any video games at all.

Question: Isn't it obvious by now that hypothical # 2 is the scenario where that kid is the one who is most likely to snap and go on a shooting rampage?

Yet, if we add everything together, bad parenting, anti-social behavior, loner, likes to watch violent movie or play violent video games, all the media outlet and *ahem* Floridian lawyers starts pointing to video games as the most likely culprit.

Discuss.

Happy Birthday!

A hermaphrodite Cannabis Indica plant that is ready to produce lots of seeds and babies.

I'd make clothing, rope, hunting tools, and anything that can be made with super strong fiber from the fiber in the stems.

I'd use the buds for entertainment to keep myself from going insane.

I'd use the leaves as a "spice" for my food so it wouldn't taste so plain.

 

And for a book I'd bring the encylopedia Britannica...if I could only have one volume I'd take the largest one.

LOL!

I'm at work. = )

This is the funniest thread I read today.

Forget the game, it's all about the plush sheep.
