Things that can only happen in America ...

Posted by at 15:36 in video games , video game violence

Leo Meristation and many other media that a boy has been arrested in Houston to design a map for Counter Strike of the institute. I personally do not understand this is not even taking into account the shock suffered by the entire country for the recent massacre of 32 people at Virginia Tech is true that the map has designed the kid is in bad taste, but then to be arrested and have to be "reeducated" ...

This is something that can only happen in America, the site that is stripped of power to a president by a slip sex with an intern and nothing is done against another emprede illegal wars. This illustrates perfectly the hypocrisy and contradictions of a society that never get to understand.

    Man, it seems disproportionate arrest anyone for that, but the fact seems quite worrying. One thing is not to promote alarmism against video games and other not wanting to see that a society so accustomed to violence in all its forms does not lead to anything good. Make no mistake, what happened in America can begin to happen in other countries. And each assume their responsibilities as GTA games certainly do not help create a more balanced society.

    Man, stop me if I so pissed I catch one of three pairs ... There is no law that covers that.

    The problem is that the American dream crumbles. And there's a huge problem in the U.S. educational system, where if you get good fats notes crush you, put you in the head you'll be a failure.

    I think the root of the problems is not in the GTA, is in society, his hipocreasía and inhumanity.

    Not clear, of course, that was trying to say. The blame for all ills is not GTA or Natural Born Murderers, these are but expressions of society.

    But I think we should do from the sector an important criticism to be communicated to new generations. The most controversial films such as Clockwork Orange or Fight Club, had a major undercurrent of criticism of violence. And I still do not see that video games make any reflection. If plants are better and have more points if you are the pimp a few prostitutes are the coolest. Be very wary of messages that are sent and when the games come very diverse audiences.

    If we criticize the shit sell trash TV, we also like navel-gazing and criticize from the inside so they do not come out to criticize without knowing, as often happens with video games. And talk about violence as he could talk about sexism, xenophobia, ferocious capitalism, etc.. etc.
