Out of those 1423 deaths a day in the year 2000, how many of them involved video games? There was a few links provided in this thread, but that was a span over how many years? Clearly, it's not as high of a figure as you'd like many of us to believe.
I'm not the one going around trying to dictate what belongs in the General forum and what doesn't. If I ever did though, I would provide a link to the direct forum rule under question instead of spewing random bullshit. And I would also know to shut the fuck up if several other people were telling me that I was wrong. I didn't want to be blunt about it, but since you decided to question my logic, I'll return the favor and show that you're the one with a retarded thought process.
Counter-Strike was relevant to the murder. It was the trigger. Note that trigger does not mean the only fucking factor leading up to the murder. If you stopped acting like some kind of know-it-all, which would require a miracle in your case based on the numerous assumptions in your posts, then you'd realize I never stated my theory behind the kid's motive. I was merely criticizing yours, which brings me to my next point.
If you truly believe that Counter-Strike had nothing to do with the story except describing the setting of the story, then get the fuck out of here and any other English-based forum and buy yourself "Hooked on Phonics" so you can correctly learn English the second time around.
I perfectly understand your argument about how one's environmental upbringing and personality plays a part in the murder. But unlike you, I can also discern the difference between motive and capability. Counter-Strike played a huge fucking part behind the kid's motive to kill the 17-year old. His fucked up personality for whatever reasons made him capable of such an act.
And unlike you, Freud, Darwinists and a lot of other traditional psychologists, I take a more contemporary approach by arguing that there's a multitude of factors that lead to the development of a person's psyche. Some of the influences affect us gradually while some of them have instantaneous effects such as losing a Counter-Strike game 5 hours ago. But since you fucking fail at English, let me reiterate my point in a Q&A format so that even a simpleton like you can understand my viewpoint.
Is Counter-Strike part of the story? Yes.
Is it the only factor behind the motive of the killer? Based on the story, I'd say yes.
Is it the only factor behind the murder? No.
I doubt you'll bother digesting anything I wrote except for the sake of finding minor errors to nitpick on. If 4-5 other people disagreeing with you didn't have any effect, I doubt my post would either. So let's settle this like Russians and battle it out at an Internet cafe over a game of Counter-Strike. And seeing how you hate losing based on this asinine thread, I'll be ready for the brick after our match.
