Are Video Games to Blame?

Of course not! 

Im posting this after reading this news story from MSN.



In summary, another tradegy has happened, where a teenage kid has gone out and shot classmates and then himself. This story however is about how Jack Thompson always jumps infront of a camera blaming video games influence for the crimes commited.

This exposes some real facts about the struggles the young offenders were under, and Jacks exploitment.

head over and read it yourself.

"It’s easier to say, ‘Oh it was those video games that brainwashed him.’ That’s much easier than saying our society is messed up, people don’t take care of each other, teachers aren’t in control, there’s rampant bullying, and there are no parents at home because they have to work two jobs."

- Jason Della Rocha, executive director of the International Game Developers Association
