Why? Won't? Jack? Learn?
"Anyone in law enforcement who does not understand or care to understand the direct causal link between violent video game play and these types of random killing events is living in a dream world of his or her own construction"
Okay, Jack, two things:
1) It is you who is incapable of understanding the "direct causal link". Specifically, you are unable to understand this about your cherished "direct causal link": THERE. AIN'T. NONE.
2) SOMEBODY is living in his own dream world, all right. And no, it's not the Omaha Police Chief; it's actually the person I'm directing this message to.
Please, Jack. Just quit on your "crusade" while you still can. There's no way you can win. We all know that. Well, except probably you.

Posted 08/07/08 at 06:03pm Muninn: it was not my intent to offend, nor to come across as patronizing as i now realize i must have. it was a poor attempt at humor.
Posted 08/07/08 at 05:59pm SticKboy: No, I was merely apologising for assuming he wasn't British in a previous retort. But hey, if you're spoiling for an argument... comments like yours make me think otherwise.
Posted 08/07/08 at 05:17pm ZippyDSMlee: Muninn:fanboyisim FTW!! :P
Posted 08/07/08 at 05:16pm Muninn: @stickboy: are you trying to say that you can only be reasonable with people from the UK?
Posted 08/07/08 at 01:56pm SticKboy: @ beemoh - I apologise profusely for assuming you were North American all this time. It makes half of my replies to you ignorant beyond belief. In future, I'll take a more reasoned stance.
Posted 08/07/08 at 01:54pm beemoh: You're coming to the UK, GP? Awesome- let me know when that happens :D
Posted 08/07/08 at 01:14pm SimonBob: You should swing up to Ottawa sometime, the Tories don't bite (much) ;D
Posted 08/07/08 at 01:00pm GryphonOsiris: @GP, you should take up Black Velvets when you are there 50% Guiness, 50% hard cider. They are heaven.
Posted 08/07/08 at 12:56pm Pominator: GP there is a pub opposite my college, bad planning I think, Stuart reckons it is genious!
Posted 08/07/08 at 12:10pm gamepolitics: never had that before with an embedded video here
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:45am Dark Sovereign: @GP: I suspect for the same reason that youtube videos do. They're on autoplay.
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:42am gamepolitics: omg, why does this video start when you load GP?
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:41am gamepolitics: pom, I go where the Guinness flows... LOL
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:38am Pominator: a bit early for me to start creating your itinerary then?
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:34am gamepolitics: I think my first stop should be a college in Miami...
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:16am Pominator: Hey GP, you should definitely speak at my college in the UK! it has been rated the second best college in all of England! N&CC
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:12am gamepolitics: LOL... So much history!
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:09am SticKboy: Ah well, hopefully at some point in the future then. Although, why anybody would want to visit ol' Blighty for a holiday is beyind me... I suppose you have a thing for bad food and worse weather?
Posted 08/07/08 at 11:05am gamepolitics: stickboy, tourism, I'm afraid on this upcoming trip
