V-Tech Shooting and Don Imus

This being my first post, I shall say that who ever knows who I am, keep it secret. Life is more fun that way. And if someone does tell everyone who I am, I'll knife you in your sleep...Moving on. ~~~~~~~~~~


This V-Tech(sorry Honda owners, not you) shooting is a case of mental illness, psych-problems, and depression. NOT video games and desensatized youth.

If you read(if you CAN) the paper or look at Cnn.com, you'll see and hopefully learn, that this kid had a few screws loose. He stalked girls, wrote disturbing stories in his creative writing class, despised the rich kids(who doesn't), and was recommened for counseling. His roomates told the news, that they would come back, and find him staring at walls. He rarly spoke, and when he did, it was about his imaginary gf, who was a supermodel named Jelly. His nickname, that his 'gf' gave him, was Spanky. See anything wrong with this kid yet?

The bomb threats, which came earlier in the week, were also linked to this kid.

Now that that point is across the table, lets move to point #2. Video games and "desnsitized youth."

As a gamer myself, and friend to many, I know what virtual violence and stuff like that does. Just because I go on a 5 hour rampage in GTA, doesn't make me want to go out and steal cars, rape prostitutes, and kill people. Because I play Need for Speed, or Inital D, doesn't make me want to go do 95 down some backroad, and drift corners at 70mph+. I know people who spend hours playing Halo, and Counter Strike, you don't see them lobbing grenades into hallways. Also, the statement, "shooting games teach you how to shoot", is bullshite. Killing zombies in House of the Dead, is not like firing off a Baretta, or anyother handgun. There is no recoil, a plastic gun weighs far less than a real one, and the sound, feel, smell, and sight is far much different, than pulling a plastic trigger to kill some evil demon dog creature.

People who do stuff like that, killing, robbing, etc, should NOT be playing video games. They shouldn't even be members of society.When you don't have the mental capacity, to determine fact and fantasy, there is something wrong, that needs to be fixed, and quickly.



While I'm on a rant, lets hit up Mr. Imus too. I'm gonna go over this one quickly, because it's getting old. Mr. Imus should not have been fired. What he said what stupid, yes, but other radio stations don't do the same? Ever listen to Hot 97? They rag on white people all the time. He aploigized, end of story. It should not have gone as far as it did. As O&A said, two guys who knows the rules of radio, saying what he said, is not an offense against the F.C.C. rules and regulations. It was just stupid, and stupidity isn't an offense.


To come to a close, I leave you with this. Being stupid isn't illegal, but letting mentally problamtic people have guns, and stay in society should be.
