My last post is - as my others have been - posted to be "thought provoking" -- not argumentative -- just stuff to think about.
How many of you own these killing games for the video play stations? How many of you have bought them for your kids...
Do you think that making a game out of killing people / monsters / other army's is a good value to have?
I have NONE of these at my house. Every time I see an Ad for these - I shake my head in a WTF kind of way. What are we teaching kids with these "games"?
If it's the weapons etc that do all these crazy atrocities... We should have a mass murder like this every single day. Why? Think about all the "ex" and current, Navy Seals... Marines... Army Special Ops guys etc that our government has trained year after year. These are some of the most lethal human beings on the planet - maybe in the universe... Personally I'd feel the safest on a bus full of them... over a bus with normal people and one "street urchin"... I can't remember ever reading about one of them committing something as heinous as this. Nothing would stop them if they wanted to do mayhem. What stops them is, they are SANE. The "street urchin"? I'm not so sure about him.
There is a current instance of this on trial now - where the guy shot up an entire village in Afghanistan.. The guy has to be insane. BTW -- there were dozens(?) of other troops around this guy with weapons and training etc... but it didn't stop him. Just saying - there was plenty of "deterrents" around. It just didn't help.
