Feel free to rip into his points at your discresion, This is from the Fellow who says that Games teach people to kill and turn people into murders(Yep all 7.8 Million of us with over a year of FPS games under us are Trained kills and we don't even know it! )

I wish assholes like him would shut up! I have been playing video games my whole life and i have never killed anybody and neither has anyone i know. Where do they come up with this crap?

Yes games can teach you some things about war and combat. Look at Rainbow 6, SWAT etc, a significant portion of the training in that game relates to training the user in paramilitary tactics. However all this training is fucking useless without real life experience.

I am proficient with fire-arms (know the safety drills and can shoot with passable accuracy) but just because I can play Rogue Spear on Elite doesn't mean that I'll be accepted into the SAS without hesitation.

The chief problem remains the availability of guns and deep-rooted social problems that the general public are unwilling do deal with. As such, they blame games. A convenient scapegoat.

Well you see, its a very complex process. Firstly, they manipulate one of their appendages so that it is behind thir torso. Second, they then twist the digited manipulator on the appendage's end so it is aligned with the nearest orifice. Then propel the manipulator through the opening, clamp the digits together to clamp on to whatever they may find, and then pull the manipulator out of the orifice. They now have the material in question available and ready for use.

In the news media, for example. They mention Doom as the game they found in a shooter's room.

You know what else they found in his room? Air. Oh no, now we must ban air. So nobody will ever kill again.

Stupid fucks, association does not mean causation.

I find it highly ironic that any ex-military officer would complain about anything that contributes to teaching our youth how to shoot and kill. I guess it's okay if the government is doing the teaching and when the killing is only taking place in a state-sanctioned war.

Fucking idiots...

Yeah. And by playing GTA I can now carjack a fire truck and use flamethrowers with the best of them.

Playing CS online has taught me so much! Did you know that real CT teams gun down anybody on their own side who takes an AWP for being a "sN1p3r F@g"?
And the late-lamented Jeepathon2k map has been resurrected by the US Army as a training aid for HMMWV drivers! DoD officials were attracted by the map's highly realistic simulation of jeeps cartwheeling off ski jumps into quicksand!

I played both the Apple IIe versions (again and again, I'm suprised the floppy disks didn't die horrid deaths in the elementary school considering everyone played it) and the Mac edition (hunting was a lot easier in that one).

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-11-02 10:31pm

Yep I remeber the super 1Mile/mintue Sqaure block of doom!

Thanks to just fifteen mintues of playing that game I can now pick off people at half a mile with a Pullet Gun behind my back and standing on my head!
