    Doing this wont solve the issues. It's a matter of changing people's hearts and maybe regulating violent video games. I dont think that it's a coincidence that these issues have happened since video games came out.

    Well over the years I have come to respect your opinion, and I understand what you are saying, I don't necessarily agree or think it will last but I do hear what you are saying.

    In the end, I believe you are right in that the Rox won't be able to do a trade at all and will be forced to cut him. That is, IMHO, the likeliest scenario.

    And I used Gun Controls and school shooting as the most extreme example of PR Images not lasting (and IMHO, that just sucks) if it did last we would be a better society and deal with our problems.

    I'd feel better if you'd learn something from this and put some serious thought in formulating well thought out opinion. People who are capable of rational evaluation are not haters because you have a knee jerk brain. You get piled on over and over on this forum by a lot of people yet still think they are the problem.

    I get piled on by the same anonymous nobodies....over and over (Not that many TBH) - but have many quality discussions with those who don't call names and attack....you can't sit here Pete and call someone a "STAN" then whine about it when they call you a "Hater".....

    Capeche?

    My philosophy on the web is that none of this matters, it is a place to vent, you give respect to others that give it back - and you are not going to please everyone.....ever....nor should you try. Conversations are hard, at least those WORTH having.....

    It probably would reduce frequency. Limiting access definitely can limit the frequency of these incidents. Confiscation of weapons from people who obtained their firearms legally will not lower gun violence.


    And I doubt video games have a large part in any of this. A large spike in gun violence today is from individual disputes like road rage incidents. The case of a isolated video game addicted teen going on a ramage killing spree is a very miniscule portion of gun violence in this country.

    So this thread has brought up pedophilia and school shootings. Has anyone brought up Hitler yet? I think that's next on the checklist.

    I'm not whining. Problem that you have is the shoe rarely fits when you call people haters. Quick tip.... If you find yourself agreeing with a troll like Bobby, rethink your position.

    I am still flummoxed in how that moron can gather people to vote for him - such a criminal and crook - how anyone can be dumb enough to believe anything he says is beyond me.

    The same could be said about Biden (in my mind to a much much lesser extent) that’s what happens though with only 2 choices, both that are awful.

    That’s one reason. There are others as well.

    Oh you won't get me to argue here - I really wish we had someone more dynamic - but we don't at least Biden righted the ship and kept the economy from going into the tank after Trump's horrible GIVEAWAY to the rich.

    Anyway, we should take that stuff to the D&D ......

    Ok you're right, it's just a coincidence that the school shootings started about the same time that violent video games came out.

    The Biden ADMIN has done a fine job, and you can’t argue with the results. Results that even Ted Cruz is showing up for ribbon cutting ceremonies to act like he didn’t vote against the thing he’s taking credit for. If Biden is doing such a terrible job why is Ted Cruz trying to take credit for it?

    We gotta stop talking about presidencies as if they are cults. There’s a whole team of people and Joe Biden has one part of that team role.

    Anyways… I’ve been in meetings all morning. Has there been any news yet in the KPJ case?

    This is a talking point by the NRA who are trying to focus the people prone to following propaganda away from the real issue which is the ease of gun acquisition. There are tons of studies that show video games do not lead to gun deaths - here is what the APA says.

    "The American Psychological Association states that while there is a well-established link between violent video games and aggressive behaviors, empirical research finds there is little to no evidence connecting violent behavior (extreme physical aggressive behavior) to video games."

    So stop watching propaganda - start reading what scientists are saying - they are telling you the truth, they aren't lying because they are paid to do so like other TV channels.....

    Back to your regularly scheduled KPJ programming.

    Yes, That’s it!

    I’ve searched the Internet and could not find instances. It’s either beating women, or throwing food in unidentified direction, or being b****y and hysterical at the scene of Sterling Brown’s fight…

    Like, JR Smith threw soup at Damion Jones, he was clearly looking for a fight with another man. Who did KPj throw food at? seemingly nobody… Just throwing a hissy fit…

    Then there’s a story of Sterling Brown being cut and bleeding outside a strip club. KPJ is there, but unharmed, just gesticulating and being hysterical around the cops. That’s what the story said…

    No stories of getting into a fight with another man, maybe someone else can find any, I couldn’t…

    Which probably means that he won’t have a very enjoyable prison time, IMO… Wife beaters are just a notch above ChoMos in prison, and we have one here that is seemingly a major puzsy, unwilling to start fights with men…. The future is not very bright for KPj…
