Grand Theft Auto made me murder! D:

There are some things that I run into a lot, since I am a video gamer. I always hear about how they're teaching kids to kill, etc. etc. etc. . I hate it when I hear idiots barking about how video games taught their kids to kill, when in actuality it is just their bad parenting and their kid's lack of any moral conscience. The same goes for suicidals. I'm sure some might find that last comment untasteful but in actuality it is quite accurate. You see, suicidal people are in fact, suicidal because they are having some problems in life that they just can't handle. They listen to some music, play some video games, and it does nothing to help. So then they just end their lives and the parents put all of the blame on the video game companies and record companies. Hey parents, how about instead you try and get a quick buck by suing a multi-million dollar company, how about you actually talk to your children. Get them counseling, a theorpist and just be there for them if they get suicidal or homicidal. At least if he/she still pulls the trigger, you know that you did your best to help the situation.

But even if some parents take the above advice, there will still be ambulance chasers trying to blame everything on something totally irrelevant to what they're talking about. Let's look at an example, shall we - Jack Thompson, the most infamous lawyer ever is no rookie when it comes to ambulance chasing. He's done it for years, and his prime target has been videogames. Now I could take a stab at religion and say that Mr. Thompson is most likely insane because of his Christian Conservative faith, but it's too easy. He is clearly so insane because of his extreme - and I mean so extreme that it makes anti-evolutionists look good - lack of knowledge on the video games he is fighting against.

But before I get to how Yack Hompson, knows nothing about video games, lets look at what I was mentioning before. He makes baseless claims that are irrelevant to whatever is happening. For example, on the V-Tech shootings, Wack Sompson predicted that the killer "trained" on the immensely popular Counter Strike. How you can train to kill someone on a video game is beyond me, but that's nothing compared to the fact that when police got a warrant to search the killer's room, they found no video games. The roommate of said killer had even stated that the killer only used his computer for writing fiction. The fact that Sad Sack Thomson can go on national television and make completely baseless claims to further his war against video games is repulsive. Especially like on a day like that.

Wack-Job Thompson doesn't even have a clue about what video games he is fighting against. Recently, he was protesting (not literally on the streets with pick-it signs or anything) against Grand Theft Auto 4 because you could kill cops, and because you could chainsaw people, etc. Thompson doesn't even understand the genre of the game he is most against! Yes you can kill cops, but you can also follow the law! Yes you can run over innocent bystanders and fuck hookers, but you can also just be a pedestrian and explore the game. It's an open-world sandbox game, Jack. SANDBOX! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT! WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YES YOU CAN KILL COPS, BUT IT ISN'T REQUIRED IN THE GAME! STUPID SHIT HEAD LAWYER THAT KNOWS NOTHING, I SWEAR!

And there isn't a chainsaw in GTA4, either. Perhaps you should learn something about what your against so that you don't end up looking like Ben Stein, Jack.

This is the first time I've posted at 3:00 in the morning, and I hope when I read it this morning it still makes sense and makes coherent points.
