Games VS Guns VS the GOV.
This topic has been thrown all over the place these last few months. So I figured I give my 2 cents in. BTW I might have many typing errors FYI.
Over the past months the Government has trying to lay down the law on two things. Guns and Games. Blaming the recent shootings and blaming cause on Violent video games and the weapons used in these shootings. For years this has been a back and forth subject. But in reality this topic should not be that difficult. The government is filled with unintelligent people who don’t see the real problem in front of them. I mean what is so hard to figure out why people do these horrible crimes. It quite simple actually and I can tell you now It has nothing to do with Guns or Video games.
For of guns, yes its a weapons but so is many other things. Putting harsher laws won’t solve a damn thing, Criminals ignore laws, hence why they break it in the first place. Putting harder laws will not solve anything. yes its true guns were used in these shootings. But why is the government blaming on thing. Many people have been killed by knifes, car, drunk drivers, alcohol, etc and yet they are never talked about. You can’t place a blame one just one thing. Because lets say someone goes on a spree with a knife, are you gonna ban my kitchen knife set at home?!? Think about it. Putting laws on something wont solve a damn thing, It will just make it worse, but that’s what our government seems to do in my opinion. They promise change and direction and making promises they can’t keep, They say they can make everything better, and years later it’s in worse than it was before.
Let me throw a quick quote out there of why these things happen. the Joker simply said “Some men don’t need a reason, Some just want to watch the world burn”
Now Government is trying to blame violent video games for these shooting linking the insanity of these people playing these games. Let me be frank that Neither Casey Anthony, and all these horrible people are actual gamers just saying. So where ever they are getting this idea, they need to rethink. Video games have been around for ages. Since the atari days. But back then you didn’t see people saying pacman was bad influence. People didn’t walk around trying to eat people. I mean come on people using games a scapegoat wont solve your problems. It is true some games are violent, but that is the reason the ESRB was invented in the first place. But blaming video games is not the answer. Because other forms of entertainment exist music, movies, theater. How can you blame games when we dish out violent music, movies, tv, and a day to day basis?!? A senator said “I think video games is a bigger issue the guns, because it affects people.” Now I won’t say who said that because its bad enough he went full retard and said that to the public.
Now I can go on forever about why guns and games are not our problems. But I can easily give tell you where the problems are.
The government spends so much time trying to study why these things happen. They spend funds and such to figure out why people do the things they do. They look for an answer and blame everything in sight. But where is the problem?!? Well easy they need to look at themselves.
Our problem is within our own government. And sadly it’s the truth we are to blame for these things happening. Because we do nothing to prevent them.
Firstly These criminals obviously fear nothing. I see our legal system as a complete joke. Cough cough case like Casey Anthony. People need fear. When you evoke consequence people rethink. When parents gave a spanking or grounded you for something because you did something wrong. You learned a lesson right. True some of us may of done it again. But lets face it. Out system is not feared. These criminals are not scared to go to jail, they are not afraid of a little needle going into them if they happen to get the death penalty. That is the basic truth. People see our system as a joke, and therefore ignore it.
Secondly we the people are to blame, we the people need to do our parts to pay closer attention to what goes around us. But most people will not take action or do anything, which why these things unfold. Bad parenting is also to blame. If you want to blame games go ahead but its reality its bad parenting. No one plays a video game and says ” I feel like going copying this” No, these things happen because these people are unstable. They feel unloved, hurt, worthless, and those problems come from everything from being poor, rejected, bullied, etc. We the people need to love more as people and show more kindness to others and these things won’t happen as much.
Third. Much like our government and us. the media is highly to blame. The media needs to learn to shut up Seriously. Like I mentioned before we can prevent everyone from going crazy. Like the joker said some people just want to watch the world burn. Now The media still and always does the wrong thing. When these shootings happen what do they say? what do they talk about? Let me answer that. The Person who did it. Almost all the time when these viscous crimes happen the media spends all day talking about the person who did it. They go into hours of why they did it, tell stories from their past, why they think they did it, shows pictures of them as a kid. Let me be straight. Talking about the person who just committed a horrible crime is not a smart thing. By doing this you make this person a negative Icon. You give them what they want. People do these horrible things for payback, and to have people remember them. When you talk about them continuously over the news and such, You are giving that person exactly what they were looking for. Every time the news say this is the most horrible person in record history hurting this many people. Another crazy person out there is thinking how can I outdo this person so that can be me. Instead of not talking about them and just saying who did it and nothing more. The media feels like giving a whole back story. How about instead they talk about the people who perished, the people we actually cared about. During the Colorado shooting, the media spent more news time talking about the shooter over the people who were lost. The news didn’t spend much time on people who were hero’s that day, People who lost their lives protecting those who they loved. Yet if I asked you to name me one person from that shooting could you?!? probably not, whose name comes up instead? the person who did it right? Bingo So how about the media stop giving these criminals their infamy they crave so bad and instead, don’ talk about them let their name be forgotten in history. let their name die and not be remembered. Instead focus on the real story the people we lost and those we loved. Because I can tell you one thing. Mostly only family and close friends are the ones who remember these men, kids, and women that were lost during these horrible events. Once we see it we move on with our lives. The general public forgets it and goes on with their lives.
Its the people we lost that need to be remembered in history not the person who caused it. Get it right media
On that side note I leave it at that. I can’t understand why our government and the people who talk about this are so simple minded that they can see our problem. Even a 5 year old could tell me the problem with America. It’s Us. It is as simple as that. It’s not guns, not video games, it’s not what the Government keeps trying to use as a scape goat.
A quote I heard from a wise man.
“The world is not fucked up, it is we who are fucking up the world”
