I'm posting this as a blog because my clan mates have hashed throught the subject to their various conclusions. It is with respect for their opinions that I add my two cents . The endless debate of violence in video games and its impact in society is as futile as discussing faith or politics. Everybody has their own convictions, and as such, does not want to be be convinced or persuaded that they are ,' wrong '. Debate is effectively dead. Few people are capable of resting emotinally distant on these ' hot topics '. The tragedy at Virginia Tech. has fanned the flames. Well, the media has fanned the flames. A cheap holiday in other peoples misery, in my opinion. I won't start on the freakish voyeurism of the Press and the Public. As far as it goes, we will never know the truth about this troubled boy. That went with him to his grave. It's all speculation and second guessing now. Anybody who professes to know the why, and wherefore of the circumstances and the triggers for this, and any other act of seemingly pointless violence, is a deluded fool. A violent game may make a violent killer - but there are a lot of us playing shooters who could be said to be the proof to the contrary. Don't believe the hype, ( and I am sure most of you don't ).
