Why does this sound like a two edged sword, if in fact , regular exposure to violent concepts possible cause the average game player . To become innured to violence ? Old saying : "Like begets Like .".Caused, Things on TV and movies had to create a rating system. To disallow Younger veiwers to veiw these type of More permissive vids. but then right wing craxies are forcing media to show these veiws .Of terrible expose's of anything his lackies can cherry pick of of any monitored media, and has his own "media story spinners" who with presidential authority to dictate what gets shared on the mainstream media broadcasts around the entire country ,So it may paint his persons of choice,to be targeted in one way or another. And in turn these people whom may or maynot consider this as influence of violence. But it is now being shown as real life things. Regardless of whether they engage in action gaming or (. Insert your choice of media types here) . Visions of violence , could possibly , ? be related to a rise in crime. But as the size of the the human population grows . Violence may be a home grown thing.As a side effect of too many people living in tight ,more confined spaces to live in? . And yet the arguement of vids and games provide for a outlet for anger ? or entertainment? , So we do not have more mass murders or infamous,so called asssinations . So perhaps some care should be ratings things again? And some attn: be paid to various types of individuals, with " what" ? to qualify or disqualify those of some rights ? 2nd amendment?

And if you take away the violent video games, will that put an end to violence or will young people find other ways to act out their violent impulses?

When a speaker likes to stir the stick, There are consequences. The media has a bit to do with it. I also think it has to do with the way that today's generation has been raised with no consequences for their actions.

And frankly do you truly believe that the MAGA lunatics crying for liberal blood are going to care if we try to take the moral high ground and muster up sympathies and condolences for that piece of work?

I make no apologies for saying that. The only thing I'm truly sad about in all this is the fact that this country has gotten this unstable.

Do you have any evidence at all that he would have applauded your death? You clearly have never seen any of Kirk's speeches or events.

Gee, why don't YOU show me evidence that he didn't feel that way towards my kind? And I mean ACTUAL evidence.

Here, I'm capable of doing a bit of detective work myself on his views towards homosexuality.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/wo ... 24580.html

Quote:

LGBT+ rights

Kirk adopted a traditional Christian conservative stance in his approach to many contemporary issues, telling an audience at a Trump election rally in Georgia last fall that Democrats “stand for everything God hates” and adding: “This is a Christian state. I’d like to see it stay that way.”

He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”


Yeah, try me again.

This just shows another extreme example of the differences of the right versus the left. Unlike the left, the right doesn't believe that disagreeing with someone means they should die. Yes, Kirk was against those principles, but that in no way means he wanted them to die.

I call bullsh!t on that one. And I despise the leftist nut jobs as much as I do the ones on the right.

Do me a favor, when both you guys finally get your little "civil war" in the name of the Orange Antichrist do me the kindness of leaving me the f**k out of it. :skull:

Robinson was heavily into guns like his father, I suspect he also wouldn't have minded killing furry animals. Recreational killing of animals for fun is something that's deeply disturbing. Gandhi said you can judge a country by how they treat their animals.

Most males like playing war games of one sort or another. I suspect testosterone may be one reason for the aggression release.

That is the story I have been hearing, though I know next to nothing about him.

Just because someone makes kill shot doesn't mean they are on the left.
Those on the right often have the training needed to execute a kill shot.
