@Zorn
When I read “Im from Jersey…” I was expecting a defensive rant.
Phew! Glad the NJ residents (at least some of them) are of a reasonable mindset.
Considering the mass difference in a lego and baseball, you must be an excellent brick marksmen…bricksmen.

I’m from New Jersey, and I’ll agree wholeheartedly that it’s a shithole. Then again, that’s why I go to school in Philly (an upgraded shithole).
It’s no secret that the majority of Jersey parents have their heads up their asses, and that Jersey lawmakers almost border on Communist. Not a fun combination.
Next time some kid goes on a killing spree in Jersey, just remember: it wasn’t the videogames. It was living in Jersey that made him snap.

@Joel:
I dunno about you, but I learned how to kill a 14-year-old with a well-placed Lego (or baseball) to the throat when I was like six.

@JLR

I think the point Mark was trying to make is exactly what youre saying. Games in general dont teach kids how to kill anymore than baseball or legos. Legal fear/hate mongers like Jack Thompson would never go up against the America’s Army game, though, despite the fact that it is no different than other first person shooter.

Maybe thats the point YOU were trying to make. Either way, we all agree and we are all dangerous enemy combatants.

@Mark IV:

“America’s Army” doesn’t really teach much more about killing people than any other game does. Pointing and clicking at targets on the screen with the mouse and keyboard doesn’t really teach you anything about using a real weapon.

Even insofar as the military has actually used video games in the past to train it’s soldiers, it’s usually to teach team tactics and communication, not practical shooting skills.

@gonzo

#1 The Wii Zapper is a gateway zapper. Soon they’ll be experimenting with Laser-Tag
#2 Child abuse only effects ugly children so its a no lose situation
#3 The governor has deployed a Unicorn Task Force to eradicate the threat
#4 Its more of a Hell-Mouth, than a Hell-Hole. Big difference
#5 Super Hitler is only there to distract you from ROBO-Stalin!

LOL @ “d-bags”

Super Hitler? That’s old news, he didn’t make it through Newark. Some of the folks there don’t like white people too much.
Ironically enough the biggest problem Jersey is facing is an epidemic of rainbow defecating magical unicorns: who’s purity has tragically purified some of the state’s most precious toxic waste dumps.

The real sad thing is that all these politicians and other attention needy d-bags won’t even TRY and fight the real reason for child & teen violence: child abuse.
I wonder why that is?

Considering the hell-holeish nature of Jersey, I doubt the Wii-zapper is their greatest problem right now. The place really is a dump.
