10 million people play MMORPGS. How many have been killed as a result? Like three?

How many people play videogames total? How many of them become killers?

Only when those numbers become even noticably close you can say that this correlation does, indeed, imply casuation. (not completely true, but truer than current arguments)

How is this level of violence any different from any age in history? Name one where gladiatorial matches, swordfighting, kids joining the military, kids playing cowboys and indians, or something else didn't happen.

Over one million warriors are battling it out in multiplay on the X-Box Live servers as we speak. That's more than five times the number of armed troops doing battle in Iraq. Which is resulting in more deaths?

but I think the motion is awesome. There have been many complaints about one government undermining another. I say fuck the Chinese government. We all (even the former Communist Party propaganda minister) agree that China's censorship laws are way out of line. The government isn't democratic, and the only reason the US government should care about upsetting them is that it will weaken trade, which will slow China's economic and social progress. But why the fuck should individuals all around the world not help out the Chinese? What is their govt. gonna do? "Um... you guys are nice and all with these trade deals, but it seems your citizens are helping undermine us." "Oh, sorry about that. You know how it is, can't keep those damn hackers away from illegal activity. First it's stealing music, then movies, then software, then company secrets, and well, you just can't stop them. It's like moths to a flame. Besides, your guys keep stealing Windows from us." "..."

I don't know how well it works in China (it is Chinese, so it should work) because I haven't been to China in a long time, but my favorite proxy is https://beijing999.com/ . Just scroll down and hit the google link or put the url in the box.

https://beijing999.com/ - spread the joy.

just to have basics like ROMS, torrents, pr0n, and other important info, including legitimate info. Well, the only good that may come of this is a generation of 1337 h4x0rz. https://beijing999.com/ https://proxify.net/ https://pimpmyip.com/ proxyswitcher, etc. are your friends and filters are your enemy (because filters are freakishly ineffective at hitting their target, but good at getting everything else).

Can you really trust any studies that show up on TV or the newspaper anymore? Pr0n, weed, videogames, global warming, indooor pollution, and everything else under the sun are GOING TO KILL YOU or MAKE YOU KILL OTHERS. Jesus H. Christ! (as if people haven't killed in His name...) 40 years ago scientists were worried of global cooling. The Earth has naturally warmed and cooled many times in the past - and things died, but that's nature. We're still alive. Today's youth are, according to the FBI - the least violent generation in American history, maybe, maybe, because they are inside playing videogames? Oh, and now masturbation may prevent prostate cancer - that's what I call wanking now, cancer prevention. I really just wished people weren't so ready to believe _everything_ the media, a Nigerian email, or a politician (all parties, Libertarians too) tells them to. There's a reason what you watch on TV is called programming...
