He played Grand Theft Auto
He murdered three cops
Therefore, playing Grand Theft Auto caused him to murder cops.
Hmm... Am I missing something?
I played Grand Theft Auto for a month and though Bellingham and the pedestrians walking around kinda looked like toys for a while, I did not murder anyone.
I played Grand Theft Auto
I did not murder anyone
He played Grand Theft Auto
He murdered someone
Conclusion: playing Grand theft auto does not necessarilly lead to murder.
Could it be that there are more than one or two variables in a person's life and that all those countless and unique experiences in one's life are what make one an individual!? And as individuals do we not have to take responsibility for our own actions? Choice, free will: the foundations of self, of soul, and redemption!
PS... Same goes for the story Micheal posted a few days ago about a Korean man who dropped dead of a heart attack after a four day gaming binge. Perhaps he ate one to many Big Macs.

I can stop this feeling, deep inside of me, that I am living in a land of ro-o-bots. Oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm hooked on advertising la la la la-- robots and spam. I-i-i-i-i am hooked on a feeling.
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can spam at will on blogs. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred.
It brings me back to 1997 when unexpected email was like receiving Christmas presents... only to be disappointed by viagra, special offers and get rich quick scams.
My life has been destroyed by video games...
I have an uncontrollable urge to jump on all mushrooms and turtles that come near my feet, as I seek all the pieces to the triforce of wisdom...

God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say `I'm pleased where man has been'
Or tear it down and start again."
