This story got me down, but this comment picked me right back up. Bravo, sir.Radeonx said:Well, that sucks.
We should probably keep him away from Bulletstorm, though. We don't want him turning into a murderer and a rapist.

nothing wrong with a good sense of humour but I 100% agree with you, parents just dont have as much control as they used to. I remember seeing other people swearing, threatening and even hitting their parents and wondering how they weren't just beaten down.ShadowKatt said:Never apologise for having a sense of humor, even a twisted one.Riccan said:I apologize for laughing at that.ShadowKatt said:People can fake being sorry. It's much harder to fake being dead.
OT: This is pretty sickening, but it seems obvious that this kid wasn't completely in touch with reality.
I'm just getting tired of hearing about these stories over and over again, "Mom/Dad takes Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo, Kid Kills Mom/Dad." seriously, what the fuck is up with people these days? Blaming it on video games is silly. There's no evidence to support it, and video games are no different than movies in terms of violence. But lately there have been a shitload of these cases of violence OVER games, and I just have to ask what the hell is wrong with people and where are we going wrong?
I tend to believe that it's because we stopped beating our kids. This kid should never have even THOUGHT about hitting his mother with a hammer. He should have been thinking about how if she caught him how HE was going to die at her bare hands. What happened to the times when kids feared their parents? I remember being afraid of mine when I fucked up. I got whipped with a belt on more than one occasion, but I learned my lesson. I think it's time to start beating these kids into another incarnation, and then all these parents they killed can be waiting for them in hell to kill them again when they get there.
THIS ALL THE WAY (btw running out of sprite is the best comparison ive seen yet)Nearing9 said:The thing that sucks about video games is that they're an easy target. When other crazy murders happen (take Jeffery Dalmer for example) it's hard to pin down what caused it. Jeffery could of been pissed one morning that the local 7 11 was out of Sprite. The fact is, it has no relevance. Making these irrelevant connections draw no conclusions about why these horrible events actual happen.
The kid didn't kill his mom 'cause he was raging about his damn video games, the kid was mentally ill and had serious problems rooted far deeper than what we will ever know.
I agree with this post. It wasn't because it was a Playstation, it was because this kid has severe (and I mean severe) mental issues, and it was only a matter of time before he did something like this anyway.teh_Canape said:fuck the playstation, man, the kid was a walking timebomb

my point still stands, the kid was a fucking psycho, taking away the playstation was not what angered him and made him kill his mother, it was just the, uh, "give me a reason" thing
like a trigger or something like that =P
