I love Mario Kart.

Some of the newer games are a lot of fun too though. I love Rachett & Clank and Little Big Planet..

I'm not talking about old fashioned video games. You blamed video games for this particular incident. I'm telling you that the teenagers in Canada are playing the same games that the teenagers in the US are. Why aren't they being impacted so negatively like you believe the US teens are?

Could it be that perhaps video games aren't to blame at all?

You win a blue ribbon for being right..Hint..it is not guns either

We used to love playing those table top hockey games when we were kids. We used to have tournaments.

Everything you describe about growing up was pretty much the same for me.

I've noticed that too. We've lived somewhat similar lives.

(I'm sorry if I repeat something already posted - I read 30 posts & skipped to the end)

I'm a John Locke - Blank Slate believer = We are all born empty of ideas.

These thugs should be held accountable & punished to the full extent of the law (btw...I'm okay with corporal punishment) BUT- What a travesty perpetrated on 2 young boys born empty of knowledge. Their innocent brains were obviously corrupted by.....

I blame in this order -

1) Their parents

2) Their environment

3) Their Black community

4) Black leadership

5) Black entertainment industry

6) Media

7) Non - Black entertainment industry

These 2 thugs were born babies & those 2 babies were made into monsters & IMO - the entire Black community is responsible one way or another.

Just as all Whites have a duty to society & are paying for slavery, segregation, discrimination, oppression & race hate.

Time for the Black community to shoulder the same duty to society & start paying into the system. Period.

Otherwise - release the White community from obligation & let evolution run the show.

(I'm a little more flexible than that might read.., but not much)

If your logic is true, where is the outrage when some white guy guns down a school full of children, or a movie theatre, or a marathon? No one from the white community is saying sorry for that. Heck, a white dude just walked into a school with an AK and was thankfully talked down from killing children. What's the deal with that?

White folks are not paying for anything. Last time I checked I haven't recieved my slavery make up check in the mail.

The black community shouldn't have to shoulder that responsibility any more than the white community has to when one of your own goes on a shooting spree.

Agreed.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Why is the black community to blame when a black person does the unspeakable, but when a white person does the unspeakable, it's probably a mental health issue?

1st) Slavery make up check - That was good.

2nd) This was a Race Hate crime. Big difference from the crimes you listed.

I try to add some levity.

Once again, if you want to go the hate crime route, we'll pay restitution for these two men that were killed this week. Do you want to foot the bill for the 1000's of blacks that were killed and the ones that being killed right now?

Hopefully someone other than me can answer this question for you Penny. You already know what my response is.

How do you know that? Beating up or killing someone of a different ethnic group does not make it a hate crime. You have to be doing it because they are of a different ethnic group. It may end up being that but I don't think we know that as the motive currently.

Now Marvin, I'm sure there has been a few instances of black people being scared of white people in general as a result of what some white people have done nay?

Fair is fair = IMO - the white community is evolving. Trying to take the needed steps to eliminate race hate & lift up the Black community. Btw...you have heard of Affirmative Action...right?

What is the Black community doing to assimilate into society? Put out lots & lots of racist misogynistic rap songs. make a thug life the end game goal. Good Job.

Seriously - give me a few examples of the Black community / leadership trying to assimilate.

After Dr. Martin Luther King - no1 of significance. Wish the man could be resurrected. He would make a difference.
