The shootings in Colorado have NOTHING to do with Doom.
Doom is a game. Everyone knows that. Even the people in My workplace Readiness Class know that.
I play quake regularly. And yet, I can barely stand teh site of real blood.
The best way to realize, and remember teh fact that Doom and quake are just games, is to break it down. Learn about how it is made. It is just programming and animation. Like movies.
The difference between movies and Games, is you have control over one. In movies, you have no control over what you see. That is why movies are rated.
They shouldn't have gone to see teh matrix if it was rated R. Nor should they have seen that movie with leonardo [D!] Caprio. If they did see it, they might've turned gay.
The reason this happened, is because of their parents. One, A doctor. Clearly too busy to have time for his son. So, in order to get his fathers attention, he turned to crime. Soon, he was too far in. He couldn't see joy in anyone else's life, but his own. He only wanted to see their fear. He took his rage from his father, on others. It is no one elses falt. Not even the kids.
THAT is why I am scared of the future. If I had kids, how will I know when to keep my distance from them, and when to comfort them? How will I know I am doing a good job? Parents are sometimes blinded to the fact that their kids may be doing wrong.
It's never the kids fault. He was either taught too well, or not taught at all.
