Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES

Alcohol kills like what, at least 80,000 yearly in the U.S? Interesting ain't it, morans?

I have seen kids start to get that bad in my presence. I have plain unattached the mouse and keyboard and walked away. Didn't care if it was in my house or someone elses. Tuff shit.

Its not just the communists, its also the socalists and the fascists, and the nazi. Any that are tyrannical, even Kings and Queens.

This guy's an idiot. I grew up in the Gi Joe, Transformers era. Watched all the violent 80's action movies, saw the Faces of Death series, played shoot-em up video games and I have no intention of killing anyone.

These governors always look for a scapegoat when something like this happens.

Let's see...in 2009 you had 9000 firearm murders. In 2010 you had 11,000 deaths via drunk drivers.

Why isn't he calling out beer companies They are clearly more deadly then Call of Duty.

The human imagination is in fact hardwired to have a limit.

Exactly, I have personally seen lives destroyed by alcohol.

That's because the big game companies don't like to take risks anymore with games. The managers, marketers and developers don't want to be on a team with a game that flops. So what do they do? They take the same successful games and regurgitate them over and over because it's less risk for the developer and management. The game may or may not do as great as the previous, but at least it won't be a big flop and they won't get fired for doing it.

This is not just happening in the game world, this is happening everywhere and it's costing us huge in technology. No one wants to invest into anything revolutionary because it's too much risk now. And quite sadly, the only big risk takers now is China who are actually starting to surpass everyone in technology. Get rid of or limit all these lawyers and law schools who demand millions of dollars for one tiny mistake and we may have a chance again, otherwise we are screwed.

Mental health is not even the issue. Bad Drugs for use in treating mental health issues is the issue.

Pull the 'its all a mental health problem' thing going around, and before long the place will be like old Soviet Russia, the political dissident is 'mentally insane' so we have to put them in a 'hospital' and through away the key.

And since the Psychiatry now has labeled all humans to have one form of mental illness or another, it just makes it that much easier for the governments to very selectively snatch the ones they want to be disappeared... anyone they don't like.


Its these particular damned DRUGS people.

My husband--pancreatic attacks started at 14 years old--he started drinking when he was 13.

Lost his driving license numerous times, almost died twice as a result of auto accidents caused by his drinking.

More pancreatic attacks led to him taking painkillers.

Now, it's not just alcohol, it's drugs too.

He was not a Christian, I did not know him during this time
.
Fast forward a few years, he becomes a Christian.

Stops his drinking, still smoked cigarettes and on occasion, had to take painkillers for pancreatic attacks.

We met, we marry.

First year of marriage--major operation for cysts on his pancreas.

After first 5 years of marriage, he has a drink.

Tried to stop, but couldn't.

Drinking caused much friction in our marriage, more illness and more addictions.

Eventually, he died on the operating table during his liver transplant--he had cirrhosis.

My father--started drinking very young.

Won't get into all the history, but he died one year before his retirement.

Alcohol, drugs and stress--lethal combination that took his life.

Uncle died of alcohol poisoning.
Aunt died during heart transplant--she was an alcoholic.
Another uncle died--he was homeless and found in the woods with a bottle of booze in his hand.

My family life is filled with painful stories all related to the ill effects of alcohol.

Isn't that a South Park episode?

You work 8 hours a day, perhaps, and sleep 8 hours a day, so what DO you do with your time the other 8 hours? Somepeople use 4 to 5 of those 'extra' hours to home school their own children. Not everyone has it in them to homeschool, which is the reason that thousands of years ago people hired teachers and tutors, and formed collectives called schools so they collectively could use intelligent smart, and skilled teachers to teach their children, and share the cost of that teachers wages among the families sending their children to that teacher. Private or Public or Parochial schooling has been around for a very very long time... simply because there are in fact only so many hours in a day.

One of my great aunts was one of the last single room school houses k-12 in my State. She had only 30 students total. in a one room school house. 90% went on and obtained their advanced degrees in colleges and universities.

Our Schools are now way too fucking big.

I have not read through the thread...But I had to stop on page one to respond to Eireann.

BRAVO!!! You hit the nail on the head. Society forced mom's out of the home and into the work force leaving children to fend for themselves or to be raised by strangers.

Then they took away recess, gym, and music in order to produce the student grades needed for federal funding. They immunized our kids with poison creating autistic spectrum disorders. Then they turn around and medicate them creating a life of drug dependency. Its a vicious cycle.

My personal experience with they system is...When my daughter was in kindergarten they said she was ADD and needed medication. OVER MY DEAD BODY! I told them that there was nothing wrong with my child, she was brilliant and bored in school.The teachers were not challenging her so she created havoc in order to entertain herself. I had her IQ tested (Wechsler IQ for children) and the results came back she had an IQ of...162!!!

From that day forward she was put into gifted programs and through my insistence, was kept challenged throughout her entire education. She graduated from college with honors and has gone onto become very successful in her career.

This is a kid that the "system" said had ADD and wanted to medicate!

Parents need to ask more questions, stand up for your children, buck the system and stop letting the so called "experts" run your life and destroy your children's lives.

For both of you:

Liberal logic:

Stoned drivers = OK
Video Games = BANNED

I said this yesterday, in another forum post. It's not the game's it is the people that are playing them.. If you want to ban game's or tone them down, then you might aswell do the same to film's/music.

Why do game's always get flamed.. why not films they are far more graphic.. why not the media for showing violence and war on tv??

Nah, we gotta ban FootBall games too because they cause murder/suicides, don't ya know?

Bull. Games do not make anyone do anything violent. What is needed in this Country is less crap out of their heads, and a Big, really big, tranquilizer gun. Now Bears and Cougars have more Rights than Humans, and Evil is Evil!

Works for me. We somehow got along for years and years without dosing our children with buckets of mood altering medication. Maybe we should look into how we ever managed to live before these meds...

Sorry, But I would fight with many guns drawn to get away from the tyranny of any Theocracy... until the Lord returns.

Who came up with that asinine slogan anyway: "Taking God out of the Schools".. must not have been a Believer in the one true Almighty God that made up that catch phase. WHere the Almighty God is concerned, no one, absolutely no one, has any ability what so ever to keep Him out of what ever He wants to being in.. You all much have some weird ideas of what an Almighty Creator God is all about. You' all would so limit the shear power of such a being by your puny imaginations that you could keep Spirit out of things?

Besides, its the individual person himself that would be the one trying to 'take God out of their own life and heart'. There is no way in hell or heaven that anyone else even can begin to put that distance there.

ban video games and see me on the 10 o clock news

Its starting to go that way, yea, much more like the Paint Ball 'war games' and Air Gun.. Team work... but there is still that lack of what we did in the 1950s, Video Gamer players don't get physically HURT except for banging their tables and keyboards.. unlike what happens in the ole 'war games play' we kids did back in the 1950s or those that do the Paint-Gun or Air-soft gun team vs team play.

I agree.



and for the thread.

Adults (that are not mentally ill) have a developed enough brain to distinguish fantasy from reality. That's not really the problem here. The problem lies in parents wanting an easy way out because they work 2 or 3 jobs just to have a standard of living anymore; so they let simulated violence in video games babysit and raise their kids for them.

If they actually wanted to solve this issue, they'd address the hyperinflation that makes 2 parents working a job or two necessary just to feed their kids. They'd reinforce the traditional family value that a parent stays at home to teach morals and cook good food.

Heck, my SO has a pretty good job and can probably keep it up; but just to be able to buy healthy food for our eventual kids at these insane prices will require that I also have a decent career. I'd love nothing more than to be a housewife, but I can't.

They paint Feminism with the brush that the main tenant of it is a woman having a societal career, and anything less is dehumanizing these poor, oppressed victims that would otherwise be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. This means I get called misogynist by my 20 something year old female friends that insist, "I AIN'T NO BABY INCUBATOR" when I merely inform them that yes, that is their biological function, whether they like it or not. They scream this label at me as I try to explain that society is making pregnancy and childbirth look like some point in your life where, "Everything is ruined!" They call me a misogynist just for expressing that I'd like to be a housewife, and here I thought feminism was about choice and empowering women! We certainly won't do that by completely ignoring our biological and social functions as mothers.

These are the kind of women who grow up to go to college, have a career, and despite their insistence they aren't babymakers and never will be, biology inevitably catches up with them. They want to care for their children and they want to do good for them, but society and the tenants of modern feminism has completely left them in the dark about such knowledge. So instead, these women, often not unfamiliar with video games themselves, find no problem with an electronic babysitter. Easy peasy.

Well most video games, movies, and music today are all about killing, drugs, and sex. Some of the kids today find this things cool and normal now, when I was a kid seeing someone die in a movie disturbed me, now I see people like my little cousins which are 9 and 8 seeing this things and they don't get disturbed but might actually laugh or find it cool.

look at this mess some of this kids have become all greedy and disobedient, if that was me my parents would of whoop my donkey.

This.

This is what the media is glossing over in this story. The only references to mental illness and medication is to say that sometimes they don't stay on their medication, as if THAT could cause a problem, but being ON the medication is ONLY a positive. Guess again...

Fake

What were Adam and Eve doing about Cain and Able? Where did they mess up Cain and end up getting a dead son? Oh, that's right...

Think brother, think.

Only a part of that, not the most important part either.

this video is part of a freak out series they are all fake, they admitted it, was just for views.case closed
