^ I think the same is true for many people. I doubt that video games make people violent.

Trump is either flatout wrong on this one or he's just scapegoating. Now that Trump has switched to the Republican side that means he has to abide by right wing political correctness.

Trump switches sides when it is expedient for him.

He is neither Republican/Democrat, nor Conservative/Liberal.

He is Flip-Flop Trumpian.....He has no "true" ideology---except for the Social Darwinist thing.

Either that or he's a deep undercover secret agent sent by the Dems to infiltrate and discredit the GOP. JK

This is the best post I have ever seen you make.
Perhaps you aren't so bad after all.

I miss the good old days when video games were just games and nobody took them seriously.

Nowadays, the world is full of games that are supposed to be "deep" and "cinematic" ... and I still just prefer Mario. :mrgreen:

They're really just games. They don't really shape people in any way.

People complaining about violent games is not a new thing. In the mid 90s the wowsers raised a big stink about games such as Doom, Mortal Kombat and Night Trap. It was on the news and everything.

Making a fuss over violent video games existed even before Mario. There was a hubbub over the 1976 game, Death Race.

That vast majority of politicians are like this actually.

For example, Obama invaded Libya without congressional approval and endorsed the Patriot Act. This is why so many people (including myself) deem him to be a false liberal.

Of course, most politicians will obey their corporate overlords. This is why "conservative" politicians side with Saudi Arabia and let Saudis bypass immigration laws. This is why "liberal" politicians support corporatism and war.

Most of this flip-flopping is really just corporate appeasement. Puppets tend to flip and flop. This odd, uncanny movement only makes sense when you can see the strings.

If the Democrats were serious about discrediting the GOP, they would have just let Sanders beat Clinton.

Sanders would have had no chance in the general election.

His ideas (while I liked some of them) were just too "out there."

Just like Barry Goldwater, in 1964, had some ideas which were too "out there."

Most guns are simiauto and any simiauto gun can take magazines over 9 rounds

The assault weapon ban people say they support without reading, bans any Simiauto gun that can fake a mag that holds 10 rounds or more. So all simi auto guns will be banned. Yiu sand support banning even a few guns then say your not banning guns.

Unless the Democrats have also been infiltrated by GOP agents such as Hillary and Obama. JK
