Right, but they didn't follow through on what the real world consequences of their actions might be either. The humor in those shows comes from their inherent "unreality" (at least for me). Remove that division of fantasy and reality and there's potential for harm through emulation. The spectrum of questionable content for minors has gotten broader, but the core concept is still the same.

The news media is a thousand times more to blame then any video game.

If you want to go looking for who to blame look no further than your politicians who let the ridiculous Gun Laws remain as they are... You give guns to hormonally imbalanced ****-ups and then you wonder why so many americans die daily from gunshot wounds...

One day with luck there will be a US president with some integrity - until then we have to put up with an arsehole, arsehole constitution, and idiots spouting shite on international TV.

i love the idea far-right keeps proposing about "allowing people to have their guns on campus (in regards to the no-weapon zone)"

have people, F*&#ing lost their minds? are we in the middle of an episode of Deadwood? If you have to go to a language class with a glock strapped to your hip, then the end of the world must be really f*&#ing nigh.

Seriously folks, this is a symptom and not the problem, as tragic as it is that 33 people died, the problem is not people like Cho (although I hope he burns in hell for eternity), its a system that allows someone like that to develop/exist. Is that a difficult thing to change? Yes, probably harder then making Iraq peaceful, but its the most important danger facing the western world. If ones own citizens are capable of such an act, why are we even worried about foreign terrorism? we are just going to do their job for them while they laugh at us.

Going back to the original topic of the thread; people need to realize that crazy people with guns will kill people, crazy people playing violent video games will get excited about killing people, crazy people with bombs will blow stuff up..... doesnt it make more sense to try and help crazy people rather then arming everyone to compensate for the crazies with guns, banning video games, and requiring a license to buy fertilizer........
