Oh for crying out loud. People keep assuming that kids these days shouldn't be responsible for their own actions. Up to a certain age they'd be right. But when someone is of junior high or highschool age they certainly should know better. Adn parents need to start taking responsibility for them as well. And teach them a little better as well. About things like this, manners, etc etc. I very rarely hear kids say please and thank you any more. As a matter of fact, one of the checkers at the grocery store gave my son a sticker and he said thankyou and I thought the poor guy was going to die of shock. When you teach your kids right from wrong and things like that they are less likely to go on a shooting rampage. Now kids are going to get into trouble, they're kids. It happens. But there is a huge difference between getting grounded for tp'ing someone's house and then shooting it up with a semi-automatic.

Video Games have come a long way from the days of PAC MAN and Pong.

What really bugs me is that people are looking to blame everything else but themselves for what happens.
