EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games
Spamicles writes "European Union justice ministers met today in order to discuss the regulation of sales of violent video games to minors. Europeans were riled up last year when a German gunman shot several people before taking his life at a secondary school. A European Union Commissioner is taking advantage of the shootings last year called for stricter regulations in the video game industry. A motion introduced last month calls for legislators to "put in place all necessary measures to ban the sale of particularly violent and cruel video games.""

And where were you when that person needed help? Raving and ranting against gun owners or playing WoW? Or smugly thinking how much darn SMARTER you are compared to Joe Sixpack?
University scientist my ass. I bet you're the janitor. Flunked out of college, didn't you? Couldn't take the strain? It must be hard, seeing all those people you despise having more success than you.
How does it feel being a failure? Does it hurt much? How do you cope with it?
