Boy, 8, 'intentionally shot his 87-year-old grandmother in the back of the head after playing violent video game Grand Theft Auto then tried to claim

[Crashed~N2~Me 970]

I kind of agree about the video games. I don't feel they cause the behavior; but maybe they help make the kids just not care. And maybe playing a game like that at such a young age has something to do with it as well.

But what do I know, for me its World of Warcraft or nothing.

I think Parental Advisory / Guidelines certainly have merit.

I also think evolution works it's magic in spite of our best efforts to prevent it. We humans can slow it down and maybe lessen effect ...prevent or postpone some needing to be (as I like to call it) evolutionized...but..1 way or another...evolution get's it's job done.

Does that seem...insensitive?

& I took this game for a test drive... I learned = I don't have W.o.W skills & to get skills would take an immense amount of time (at least for me). I don't have the patience needed to master this game.

It's kinda like Shrimp - if I have to peel it to eat it...I ain't eating it. I like to keep things ...simple.

(I know that last sentence left me exposed...but...I'm a risk taker)

No you are right on target

By subsiding the dumbest and least advanced to breed, by taking resources away from the brightest among us, we are reversing evolution, and breeding those

that in a primitive culture would die out,,ensuring the best genes are proliferated.

That has a little bit of a crazy Nazi scientist ring to it but all in all - agreed.

agreed, but unlike the Nazi's I advocate a hands off approach to natural selection

Kind of like the prime derictive

You two really do not understand evolution at all do you?

Well yes I had a minor in Genetics

I actually understand it quite well

In nature, when a species can not adapt or thrive ,it is called natural selection..

Kind of like modern man, taking over and neanderthal man becoming extinct.

Do you have anything factual or substantive to add or did you just come by to earn a

C. I have no idea idea how to respond to the overwhelming facts you presented, so I will just call you a derogatory names with zero reading comprehension insult you and move on, and claim I already answered the question. ( this covers the tin foil hat stupidity)

You are failing to demonstrate that you do understand it, in fact you are demonstrating that you believe in fatuous urban mythology as apposed to a scientific understanding of how natural selection works. An 8 year old killing his grandmother is not an illustration of natural selection at work so the last 4 or 5 posts that you two have made are ignorant and irrelevant. You are simply making yourselves look stupid and somewhat callous.

Your actually twisting what he said and taking it out of context. He didn't state or imply that the shooting was natural selection.

Instead he made a general statement about society that made it sound like he supports 1920s/30s eugenics. Another poster called him out for it, and he replied that he actually supports natural selection without interference.

[Darnell 8,479]

I miss the interference. Bring back legalized dueling !

No, no point, If that's what you think was said, fine, run with that.

[Crashed~N2~Me 970]

I was a little taken aback by the word twisting, condescending attitude, argument void of information & insult delivered with the clang of a rusting chastity belt....but then I thought...wait...this person's posting style seems familiar.....I took a look at the profile & realized...it's Madame Cleo...duh.

I seriously thought MC was off with this guy on some foreign peace mission....happily married & raising 8 children in a Rain Forest Tree House...

You are 100% correct.

Wow. You're very perceptive.

Thanks! I have a moment of clarity here & there. Not many but still....

The above sentence (and I use the term sentence loosely) makes no sense. "No point"?
