I think the bigger reason is the drugs people are on. Have you noticed pretty much every single one of these mass shooters was on some kind of anti-depressant or other prescription drugs, this is even a more serious issue leading to violence in my opinion.

I play Call of Duty but I don’t have an urges to go out and kill people, but I think these drugs can be the catalyst for that happening.

Just MHO.

Yes, it is the “culture of death”. The Supreme Court gave the U.S. permission to kill the unborn and thus we have had 55 million [1,000+football stadiums worth] babies destroyed since the satanic decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973. The right to die/euthanasia is now here. We live in a morally depraved culture. Respect for human life is at an all time low. Look at the no regard our government had for our own in Benghazi and Navy Seal Team 6. You will see more and more violence and killing until if/when we regain a high regard for human life.

I asked friends and family not to purchase anything for me for the holidays, but instead to give me $5.00 each so I could add that to my contribution to the local humane society (I’m a cat lover). They told me I was “crazy.”

This would be a great read if it weren’t for the hypocrisy. Yes I get it, we are a nation of idiots who buy things we can’t afford and don’t need. But I would make the very same argument about this site. Mike you have adverts everywhere! You yourself are showing your greedy nature! You can’t have it both ways Mike. Post your book for free and walk with jesus who said give up everything to be with me.

What I said was, “I don’t hate 12 y/o people.” It would be better if you read what was actually written.

When did I say I hate 12 y/o kids? I said the opposite, “I don’t hate 12 y/o people.”

Yes, I only hate some 12 y/o kids, probably not as many as you but quite a lot.

Right. Im not saying the video games are the sole reason. I do understand where you’re coming from. Placing all the blame on one singular entity in our society is foolish.

But what I am saying is that video games have now reached an unprecedented level of lifelike realness, and coincidentally, game makers are using this to depict the most realistic violence ever. And this is all happening on top of a mental health / drug epidemic in our country.

Im not saying video games are the reason. Far from that . The reasons for all of this violence have existed before they came along. But they certainly do act as catalysts. Very powerful catalysts.

Most people from India working here take a month off to go visit their homeland, annually.

Thank you, between their environmental slacking which hurts the whole planet, their exploiting their workers, etc, I don’t respect or want to do business with China. IF they ever get anything like Japan it would be better, but doubtful for a long, long time to come, I am NOT holding my breath.
