You know what really pisses me off? These idiots who try to bad videogames to violent acts. Like, for instance, the Viginia Tech shootings a few years ago. At one point, they were trying to link the shooting to his playing of Counter-Strike. It just pisses me off that they ignore the millions of people who have played the game and haven't cracked and shot 30 people, but go for the one who has, and then blame it on the game. Videogames are a possible factor in what happened, but what we know happened was that the guy used real guns, which brings me to my point. We need stricter gun-control laws or something. The media needs to stop going for videogames, which have never been proven to send someone over the edge, and go for the constant in all of these shootings. Guns. You know, I don't know a thing about guns or the laws surrounding them, I just know the media needs to get their heads out of their asses, stop speculating, and go for what we KNOW was a factor in these shootings.

You're not the only one who hates the new "blame video games" trend. It's idiotic and illogical. I had to write an essay about the effect of video games on kids for writing assessment last year; had a lot of fun with that topic.
