Bleh, Barnacles to all of it. This is when I'm going to go on my conservative soapbox that people hate so much. Guess what, shut up and listen.
I just love how people say that video games make a violent child this, or that. Maybe television can do that too. By the way, where are the parents of these kids that are getting to be violent? I can almost guarantee that a good majority are a bunch of power mad stuffy liberal types that are too damn self absorbed with their political, financial, social agenda pushing they aren't even paying attention to their own children.
Then you will have the broken families that would be the single mothers that will have almost family backing to raise the children either. Many of these women usually set their kids off to the side and let the tv or video games 'babysit' them so they can either work or do whatever they do. Many usually sit in the social welfare circle because society tells them that no one will hire them because of their educational status, or this or that. Way to clip someones wings off before someone can fly.
I think more friends and families should get involved with problems like that instead of the so called social do gooders in most of the governmental branches. I think that too many people in the world give control to society for the responsiblities of our families. It's all about immediate and self control, not govermental control.
Too many people don't know how to raise their kids and let them run loose, the government steps in and sets ups rules. People have no clue how on how to pick out a healthy meal, so they whine and complain about "trans fats" and "Big Food". Bam, the government comes in, wrecks businesses, and forces them to do this and that. Since when has a greasy hamburger and fries been healthy anyways? Nobody was forced by gun point to eat it. Why do people do that, because of all the stupid things the society lets people get away with. A lot of these bans on trans fats and stuff are just agenda driven pieces of rubble. They are passed under the guise of "public health" concerns, but in actuality are in place because the general public is been rendered too incapable of caring for themselves.
With that said, lets talk about how society has made it so easy for people to shrug responsibility for things, including actually having a job, that many people don't have them. A lot of people get to have social welfare handouts. When you have a population that has families that thrive on this crap for generations, it would be like letting healthy people sit around in wheelchairs from birth, then trying to make them walk on their eighth birthday. They basically encourage the poor to get fat and lazy. Seriously.
I've actually seen people in my state get on our public transportation buses with no jobs, because they are too "poor" to afford a vehicle, just to go visit with other people. Yes, that is correct. These people that don't want to work because they are "oppressed", live in a terrible socially "depressed" conditions, are so bored they have to go visit people during the time they could be looking for a job. Eventually I will see some of these same people end up at the grocery store (that's if I even have ANY money to go) buying loads of of unhealthy food with their welfare benefit money (I rememeber one woman had three kids, a basket full of soda, meat, and almost no vegetables.)
I have personally known quite a few of these in the catagory too. I know it's sad. Some of can't "afford" to buy a vehicle to be able to get a job, but will have the money to buy McDonalds, video game systems and drugs. They live better then I do for some odd reason.
How about this. Why don't some of the governments of the world quit poisoning everyone with doomed to fail social policing, and actually get down to the real issues. Real life is more violent then anything that could be put in a video game. Dealing with spoiled with self entitled people that have no self sufficent skills are what would make me violent, not some character on a video game.
In closing, I would say it's not the governments job to babysit or force people into some semi state of psychological tryanny. The government job is to help uphold the social, political, economical structure for the common good of the people. Not just those vocal, agenda driven ones that are in the media all the time. Most of the time the media lies to you because that is what they are there for, a bunch of propaganda warfare. Tale as old as time...
