Most of you are unfortunately not ready for this burden, MageofFire. You may find it acceptable to murder someone in Postal, but in Haïti they find it acceptable to murder someone for real. It is true wath Lintra said, TV is a more important cause, but I strongly and fully oppose one who says that he's not influenced by games. It's just like with commercials. Your subconscience is getting used to it. And when it comes to violence, I find this repulsive.

How then are countries without TV, or computers or with the lowest GDP the most violent? How many HAitians have a PC or a PS2? How many people in SUdan? How many people in Afganistan? You could easily say that religion is the number one source of violence, or money. Should wenot allow these filthy things. Down with religion!! Down with money!!!

WHiskey makes my father violent, should liquer be banned? Beer makes him funny, is that a good kind of alchohol? People that cruise in the passing lane make me homicidal, they are breaking the law and it seems to be rampant and excessive. I truly believe they should be shot. Do you agree? No, then driving should be banned because some aspects of it make people violent.

Just because a few retards do some dumb crap doesn't mean its the rule. Its the exception. Everyday I see people meakly accepting that some lawbreakers like to cruise in the passing lane, they are the rule. Me wanting to ram my car into them and strangle them until their eyes pop out of their skull is the exception to the meakly accepting that some retards have have never connected in their heads that the passing lane is for passing. Never should someone in the passing lane progression be slowed for any reason besides a speeding ticket (speeding tickets create large cash inflows for state and local government and are good).

If I ever acted out my fantasy of killing all the lawbreaking passing lane cruisers then I would be incarcerated. That is Darwinism, survival of the fittest. Weed out the herd, let only the strong survive. If you are dumb enough to start smoking because you see a camel or a cowboy smmoking then you are retarded and deserving of cancer no matter your age. If you play MArio brothers and then try to go fight Kupa by flushing your self down a tiolet you're an idiot (but a funny idiot).

If someone is dumb enough to do something that most people consider dumb, you would of done it anyway if you saw it in a game or not? Does it really matter what catalist set the idiot off?

We could have a much safer world if people stopped trying to make money instead of live in peace and harmony and hug each other and hug all the trees and pretty flowers but we wouldn't have any rpg's to play. If everyone would make love to each other freely and without discrimination there would no jelousy or rape. If there was no religion to fight over the world would be so much more peaceful, kind of like heaven on earth. If England bans guns then there should be no reason the cops should carry around guns, since none of the population would have guns, right?

The sad thing about my above post is that I proof read it before submiting. It also is not too coherent.

Perhaps we should change 'mental illness' to 'certain mental illnesses which are completely unrelated to Ammon'.

Seriously though, it would be a mental issue with the person that is acting violently. Possibly not classified as a 'mental illness' but either way it is still their thought proccessing(or lack thereof) that accounts for their violence.

Well, if you want to get technical then statistically speaking there are more "normal" people, otherwise they wouldn't be normal. With more "normal" people around then there is a greater chance that "Mr. Normal" will commit a violent crime.

I would like to interject and say that mental illness does NOT cause people to kill anyone. EVIL causes that, not mental illness. I dont think Hitler was schizophrenic, do you? Do you realize that when you say mental illness is a factor, that you are actually being ignorant?



Rofl.
Yeah, and whatever is keeping the sun stuck on the sky is magic, right? Then at night god takes away the sun, puts it in his pocket and replaces it with the moon?

Mental illness/disorder is often a factor for people to behave in an odd and often destructive way (either for themselves or for others). Wether its temporary and in itself triggered by other factors, or something more deeply rooted, either coming from a weak part of your brain, or is the result from a bad environment.

As for the rest, I think I agree with Roqua.

Is it just me or is he acting a little violent?

Sorry, Ammon, I couldn't resist. Please don't take any offense to that, it was just a simple joke.
