Default Blaming Gaming

All right, please allow me to apologize in advance, but I'm really sickening of all the whining, belly-aching and finger pointing about how games, movies, music, etc., are to blame for society going to the toilet...

This topic is utter nonsense and is just another excuse that we as a society seem to use to avoid admitting that we're to blame for our actions. I find it ridiculous that people are actually allowed to point blame in directions other than admit to their own instabilities. What's even more stupid is that our legal system (or lack thereof) even allows this to happen in the first place.

Thoughts?

i agree with you 100% but you probably already know that!

The biggest human fault is not admitting we have a few!

It is like a senior American blaming a presenter of a 1950's news show (who smoked) for forcing him to smoke.

Exactly.

Can't wait to see this one make it to court.

He's just one cog in a chain of stupidity.

I agree. Its being made a scape goat because society is going down the pan. In the 70's punk was to blame, in the 80's it was heavy metal, in the 90's it was Doom and Duke Nukem and in this decade is GTA type games.

Maybe if society looked at the reasons why people rebel and need escapisms they can better understand why people get violent and go postal or like rebelious past times i.e. punk rock or heavy metal.

Perhaps in the 2010s we should start a campaign, to blame Paris Hilton and her ilk.
