@Gamer4Fire:
Yes! Waffles! The answer to the meaning of life indeed! :p
Honestly, how can anyone not like Belgian Waffles? They're too good!

@Uncle Kenny:
Nah, it's okay, no hard feelings there :).
I can understand how these make you think this :p They can mess with my general expectations of people's intelligence and criticism as well.
Actually I was trying to make the same point Rapid_Assassin made as well, only my choice of words was apparantly a bit off.
Glad to see we were able to talk this out though! Proves to both of us that you can still have healthy discussions on the internet :p

That's awful. Okay, the only thing that the video game did for this, was it led them to "fighting" like this. However, the alchohol did a big part too. And if a few drinks make you kill someone? Wow. I bet they were pretty messed up/unbalanced before this.

But people blame it too much on video games. People don't understand the significance (spelling?) of video games. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

Every day goes by and see less and less I like about mankind. What do you about people who do bad things? Jail time sure doesn't seem to work effectively. There are a number of promising cases that have shown otherwise, but they have been a small minority. Psychiatric help is impractical, as it currently stands. The only other option I see is... well, the death penalty. Extremely harsh, but the benefit is that you know this behavior will never be taken out by that individual again. I hate seeing poor parents, knowing that this behavior will likely be passed onto their children, and their children will be doomed to repeat their parents mistakes to their kids.

I'm a ridiculous misanthropist. I still feel humanity isn't inherently bad, but I feel like humanity currently IS bad.

2nd cardboard box to your right
I wrote out about a page of text just now, but i pressed CTRL+A and DELETE.

Because this is going no where.

I just want you all to PLEASE think about your judgements of others and your morals, and how you can change them.

And remember the ethic of reciprocity.

If you dont know what it is, google it.

...I really don't see how MK came into play here, it seems that they claimed they were acting that out to get a scapegoat going.
