yea.. but do you think a 16 year old can be mature about it and live with the fact that the damn thing is a bloody game and has violence in them..Killing bloody so on.. if a 16 year old can drive a car and be responsible can they do the same thing with a game.. just a thought!

Correction:  I hit three pedestrians and did a drive-by by the hospital on my way home.

Are you trying to say that a 16 year old would have a guilty conscience for playing a violent game?

You're 17, do you feel guilty after killing a pixelated character in-game?

I hope not. It's just a game.

I'd say the real reason why most kids are the way they are, but most of you wouldn't look at it with an open mind, and turn it down right away like a couple did with the WTC hoax thing.

Never mind.

I wrote a large and detailed explaination, explaining that I don't get angry and that the "you" in your second and last sentences should be directed to the masses rather than me as I don't suffer from those conditions.

Rather than taking my post as an attack... take it as a warning, as I have seen many a community become devided over some simple topic like this one breaking a few people or everyone up.

Peace.

If this is a discussion of the said topic then you should post it, or you are holding back possibly valuable opinions from the grand understanding of the topic.

But if you aren't posting it in respect for the community... then maybe your choice is best left the way it is.

I never mentioned names, and I wasn't insinuating anyone in particular, either. I was talking to the "masses", post of the time. Reading my post again, it does seem convoluted. Sorry.

I think the reason some kids are the way they are is because their parents haven't taken the time to teach them any better.

Well, as time goes on, our society gets more and more numb to the values that 200 years ago, seemed like murdering someone.  200 years ago, people would be amazingly angry/disturbed if they saw the things that are happening today.

As time goes on, peoples morals and values become more and more devoid of meaning..  in the end, peoples consciences won't even matter anymore, and everyone will do what they want.

It is kind of funny you mention that LW.

It does seem today that the more people there are, the more difficult it is to maintain peace and some sense of clanhood (if you will) as there was long a go.

They always compare us to our ancestors and refer to our ancestors as barbarric, but I see many more barbarric things we do every day.  Taking so much as granted things these days, no longer taking care of our tools, our old people, or our homes.

I wrote some paper in 8th grade about wanting to live at least 150 years earlier, just so that I would have a better sense of family, frineds and workmanship.  People hardly take pride in their workmanship any more and I feel undereducated because of that aspect, as they no longer take the time to truly show me the ways of their working.  When I tell people I would have liked to live longer a go they point to disease, famine, and not having electronics as a major dusadvantage to life.  I point to the un-needed things, the cramed spaces we try to live in, and the places we can't go with out permits any more because of people fearing one an other more than asking them questions and accomidating them as visitors.  Disease and famine are natural parts of life.  If I could have lived in a time where I could take pride in my work, be in a better shape than I am, and have a closer community I would much rather spring for that with some disease and famine rather than this crazy place we are in now.

People say I should move back to the old world.  I don't know... I am not especially good with foreign languages and I don't know if they would accept a lonely looking US resident. ;-)

But enough of my musing... on with the show!

That's really scary to think. Look at how things were 60 years ago, and then look at how things are today.. I think you'll see a major difference. At this rate like LW said, people will be without morals and values very soon.
