Correlation Does Not Imply Causation

Back so soon,

I have been meaning to address this issue for a while now, but this article does it better than I could hope to. However, like any self-respecting blogger I need to add my two-cents.

Counter-Strike, whatever you-know-who would have you believe, is far from a murder simulator. It takes much more than pointing and clicking to prepare someone for the experience of actually killing. Cho was calm because he was a psychopath. I, and millions of other people, play CS and other violent games yet have never felt the urge to commit such an atrocity. Gaming did not make him who he was.

In conclusion, Jack Thompson is an opportunistic, self-important hack who has made a name for himself by exploiting tragedy. Unfortunately, however unsuccessful all of his numerous lawsuits end up, he never seems to go away.

Perhaps more at a later date,
Nowhere Man
