Don't Blame Games, Blame Pants

You know, my friend named his one of his Turians "Pants" in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, and I thought that Turian was an okay guy. How wrong I was makes me feel very sad.
You and me both, my friend. You and me both.Queen Michael said:
This is not even counting the fact that great intellectual figures like Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates all thought pants were symbols of barbarism and in their enlightened perspective abstained entirely from the practice of wearing pants.
Hang on a second... I'm wearing pants right now! I better fix this before things get too dangerous.
I solemnly swear that I will never wear pants in public again. I never knew that my khakis were discreetly nudging me towards going "No Russian" every time I entered a public space. Thank Akatosh I've never worn full-length leggings under my pants, or I may not have been able to restrain myself.

This is just ridiculous, not everyone who wears pants is going to kill someone. Adults are generally mature enough to be able to wear them without incident.
The real problem lies with irresponsible parents buying them for their kids without educating themselves on the dangers. That and the way that they've been marketed towards children. You know they make these things in children's sizes now?

I've always argued it could be something on TV, or something they do in their free time, like taxidermy. Maybe too many Law and Order reruns leads to bloodshed?
Fortunately, I'm glad this discovery has been made duly broadcast. I know I won't be wearing pants ever again.
Satire is delicious. This man could be the next Stephen Colbert.

As we know from another popular Escapist series (found here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/7045-The-Whole-Story-Pants ), pants were developed (or should I say redeveloped) for the purpose of war. So their involvement in shootings is not all that surprising.
Hah, I can proudly say I spend less time wearing pants than playing videogames, and I never do both at the same time, which must be the real recipe for disaster.
The supposed "dangers" of Hydric Acid are completely overblown, I drink it almost every day and I've never murdered ANYONE who didn't deserve it. As long as it isn't inhaled or taken in large doses, not only can it be perfectly safe, but it even has some health benefits that most people are unaware of. Perhaps you should do some research before you start trying to cause fear and panic.Alakaizer said:
Excellent article - you make some startling points. I have a proposal and a query.
Proposal: That we introduce international legislation forcing the Governments of the world to record trouser sales and keep track of those walking ticking time-bombs who purchase and wear them. We need to know who these dangerous people are, where they are and what they're doing.
Query: What of sagging? Are violent tendencies reduced by way of the trouser covering less of the body, or does it not work either by way of the uncovered body being at the wrong end of the leg (Shamus said trousers should be rolled up, after all, not down) or because the same amount of trouser material is involved; it's just that it's bunched up more? We must investigate, with science.

I find this article rife with inaccuracies, did not the Romans, one of the most militaristic empires the world has ever seen, give preference to wearing tunics and if trousers cause violence explain Scotland. In fact the invention of violence far pre-dates the discovery of trousers, the modern trouser only becoming popular towards the end of the medieval period, people before relying on brais and hose.
The romans didn't have firearms and they quickly adopted pants after crossing the alps. Sure, they made fun of the German tribes before that. But once they fought them in the harsh conditions north of the alps, they quickly realised why the Germans wore them:Noswad said:
Because of the pure ferocity provided by pants.
