Because those in power don't want it known that their inability to solve problems and set moral standards are the real issue. It's better to blame games, music, and culture in general for the issues at hand rather than themselves, their failures, and the special interests they cater to in order to increase their own wealth at the expense of increasing those who are impoverished and/or out of work.
Roving "gangs" of teenagers appear when you don't include them in society. Teens rebel against their parents and then go... Where? The mall. Which we, as the adult community, then run them out of because they cause trouble.
The city I live in has decided that night clubs cause "degenerate behavior in youth". So the city is clamping down on the music scene and has successfully closed most of the underage dance clubs (definitely all the popular ones). Now the police are complaining they need more people because the crime rate with the same age demographic has increased exponentially. Hardly a coincidence.
*sigh* You can't expect to ostracize a group from society and then play by the rules that same society has put in place.

Posted 07/19/08 at 08:46am Paul T. Farinelli: To say that he did say it seriously, considering all of the rhetoric that he's spewed before.
Posted 07/19/08 at 08:45am Paul T. Farinelli: Apparently it was a joke on JT's part. He acts as though we all should've realized that, but it's not to big of a stretch
Posted 07/19/08 at 07:14am LuNaTiC: JT was not loved as a child. What jack ass forgot to pull out when creating this abomination??
Posted 07/18/08 at 10:32pm Paul T. Farinelli: Seriously, i haven't been so awe-struck by someone's sheer audacity in...ever!
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:45pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : And I can take "No" for an answer.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:45pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : JT is such a tool. He thinks he can have his way just because he's a Christian. Listen up, Jackie-boy, I'm a Christian, too.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:09pm Paul T. Farinelli: Also, I must say that Jack honestly looks like a serial killer in that pic. (not saying he is one, just that he looks creepy)
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:08pm Paul T. Farinelli: Jace was apparently polite.
Posted 07/18/08 at 09:07pm Paul T. Farinelli: I agree, it just seems like pure insanity that Jack would seriously say that to the man's face during an interview, one in which
Posted 07/18/08 at 07:48pm Jack Wessels: If not then... Damn...
Posted 07/18/08 at 07:48pm Jack Wessels: Hey Dennis, I know you can't share the videos JT sent you, but was there perhaps even a slight amount of sarcasm in his replies?
Posted 07/18/08 at 06:21pm tallimar: ... news story so much as a punch line.
Posted 07/18/08 at 06:21pm tallimar: breaking story: JT hates on game dev, news at 11... id find that interesting to watch only to the point that JT isnt a ...
Posted 07/18/08 at 02:50pm BlackIce: I absolutely refuse to read about that Wanker Cameron
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:52pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : BTW, anyone see the new JT story Dennis put up?
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:51pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : IDK about that, Grizzam. Who knows if it did or not?
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:49pm GRIZZAM PRIME: So yeah. E3 hath sucked ballz apparently.
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:42pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : @BlackIce: But I'm not gonna do it, because I have no reason to do it.
Posted 07/18/08 at 01:36pm BlackIce: No wait.. That's Beemoh that i'm thinking of. KN licks people too.
