What if instead of video games he read books during that time. Would that be reported, I wonder?
Weeping Infant Killed For Disturbing Dad's Gaming

Plentyoffish.com, eventually, someone will go out with you man, I thought the same thing, I have been on dates with 5 diffrent people in 4 months, one went for over a month, but yeah, it works, be wary of those with multiple profiles though(they are crazy)antipunt said:
Well that's not... he has no right to kill a defenseless infant.The7Sins said:
Even if I agreed with your kid hatred, shouldn't he have to talk with the other person who was involved in the birth, you know, the mother, before doing anything?
Your in denial, one of the few things enviromentalists are right about is dwindling resources. They really aren't kidding about the rate at which rain forests (and forests in general) are disappearing, or how The Middle East is inevitably going to run out of oil at the rate of current consumption, never mind if it raises production to meet increasing international demand from nations like China. Then you have things like metals, and the sheer number of mines that are getting tapped out to meet demands for ore, leading to people trying to find more mines, and when that isn't possible literally tearing into the planet for trace elements that can be extracted, which also hurts the abilliy of the planet to produce new veins of ore and replentish what was tapped out to begin with.Abandon4093 said:Therumancer said:
We DON'T have an overpopulation problem and we never will. To say that we have or are going to have is to completely misunderstand how population demographics work.
What we have is a population distribution problem and in the western world, an ageing population.
Neither of which could be solved by a sterilisation program. And it would actually make the latter worse.
That's not to say I'm completely against the idea, I think there should certainly be some sort of standards test that has to be taken before being legally allowed to have a child. Taking into account mental health and monetary situation aswell as testing basic parental knowledge.
But that's not to solve some mythical population problem, it's purely for the well being of the child. Because far too many children are born into abusive, neglectful and incapable homes. And in all truth, some sort of agency could probably have predicted it in most cases.
Not quite sure how such an agency would operate. But one can but dream.
The differance between me and the enviromentalists is that they are concerned about the enviroment in of itself, where my point of view is more humaneocentric in how simply running out of these things is going to effect us.
The bottom line is more people, means more resources needed to support those people at a decent standard of living. Those resources don't just appear magically, they all have to come from somewhere.
I understand your points, and they would be valid if it wasn't for greater concerns. Rather the fallout of reducing the population as I suggest is one of the problems we are going to have to deal with to solve even bigger problems. Economics and the relative ages of people and their abillity to produce are big deals, until you consider that you need to have societies in existance for that to matter. The point I'm making is that we're heading for a collapse caused by too many people for the planet to support, a catastrophe far bigger than the one your talking about.
Basically, in a worst case scenario along with the birth control we might have to impose a policy where anyone above a certain age who isn't productive is to be executed, and keep that going for a few generations. You might be going "OMG, that's evil" and according to current morality you'd be right. It brings to mind all kinds of facist dark future fiction, "Logan's Run" being just the tip of that ice berg. However when your talking about the survival of the species you have to prioritize.
That said, I think the problem while a big one, is not something that would have to be handled by anti-geriatric death squads, that's just a worse case scenario. In short, your correct on things getting bad, but one sad truth of this sucky world is that things generally have to get worse, before they can get better.
Some people just can't put the needs of others before their own can they. Rather than take some time out from him gaming to give his child what he needed or at the very least give him to his mother he goes ahead and kills him. I'm curious to know what he did after he realised the child was dead.
from the sound of it, i don't think it was intentional. i think this dude is just a complete f***ing idiot.
If we don't want to think about the morality of it, it's a better policy to kill of the old people then killing of the young people and destroy our environment to get all the resources.Therumancer said:
Anyway I don't really buy that we're running out of resources, oil (and other vital resources) prices are rising not because it's running out but because it takes a lot of other resources to get to those oil, better technology will get us to those resources at lower prices, probably at the cost of the environment but we don't seem to care anyway.
Also if the production of something is reduced the market will (some say sadly) assign those resources to the ones who are willing (and able) to pay for it (even for vital resources, so yes if it does go that far some will die but not all) and in the end producers will enter that market to increase production again (having advantage through better technology or techniques). It has to be said that better technology and techniques will always be invented because it's in the producer's incentive to do so. Even if there's no way to get some resources there will always be substitution, probably shittier substitution but it's a substitution.
In the end it's impossible for us to all die without some kind of mass extinction event because no matter how much we destroy, there's always a system to allocate the resources available and most will always get the resources available to survive, some will get more than needed, and the rest will get nothing (FYI those people die). So we don't really need to preemptively kill people the free market will
thats it. am making a plan to make a big robot arm and going to shake that 20 year old to death. while that is working am going to play games
I wish you wouldn't have established a link between "disturbing dad's gaming" and "infant shaken to death". It's a sad fact, but children are shaken every day. It's absolutely appalling, but there it is. It doesn't matter if you're a gamer or not, if you're rich or poor, whatever, you are at risk of shaking your child. Newborns cry a lot, that's a fact of life, it's their only means of communicating their needs, their anxiety, their pain, you name it. Add sleep deprived parents in the mix, and everyone's at risk. The important thing is to be aware of the risk, and to prevent it. It's got nothing to do with video games.
That being said, he really shouldn't have been gaming until 4am, that's just ludicrous. When my little one was born, I took what sleep I could get!

In the last few weeks... yeah... I've heard of nothing but bad coming from Florida...DVS BSTrD said:

Well this is one broken individual who hates his existence... he's a shelf stacker... I'd hate that job too. Video games are his coping method with... life and he is not the sort of person who is responsible enough to look after a child... well dur, he just killed his baby...
Video games are not to blame. If not for video games it would be drugs or alcohol that drove him to ruin his child's life...
... shame our societies breed people who are just totally unfit to have kids.
Oh I am so there with you.Therumancer said:
We would of course need an effective method of reversable sterlization but that really sounds like the thing to solve many of our problems.
You could do something opposite to the pill. Have a pill which allows you to become pregnant via being the antidote to the chemicals in the water supply... hmm this is an interesting area to look into...
However it would do significant damage to the war on STD's...
I know a lot of people are thinking that this man is some kind of crazy psychopath right now, but he isn't. Death by shaking is actually quite a common cause of infanticide, because the little tykes won't shutup.
I have nothing but sympathy from the man. Seriously, I know it's hard to understand, but babies really can just keep on crying for almost a day straight, and sometimes nothing a parent can do will quiet them.
After 15 hours of non-stop screaming, parents get stressed.
They are also tired.
They are VERY frustrated, and they make really bad, spur of the moment actions.
So please don't judge this man, he's probably already punishing himself enough. And what he did was, though totally wrong, an understandable action in his situation.
