Why Kids Kill

While it can be shown through statistics that a correlation exists between violence in video games and tv and real life violence, it can absolutely not be proven which one is a cause of the other. It is equally as valid to assume that a rise of violence in society is responsible for the existence of extremely violent games as it is to assume that video games cause greater violence. Everyone's looking for someone to blame; why not blame the two kids who shot everyone?
Aren't we all just trying to make money anyway? Why is it such a horrible thing for a business to want to make some cash? While i strongly support the idea of a distribution such as Slackware, i also am realistic enough to see that the average user and/or Wintel convert would become completely fed up with Linux if they tried to install Slackware. (unless they had a lot of time on their hands). That's why RedHat is the most popular distribution. Hey, i'm not a fan of major corporations, either, but if everyone's crying for the big guys to port their software to Linux, how can we fail to support the right of a Linux oriented company to make a few bucks off the distribution?
