Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.

Hey, after taxes, insurance, and gas money, that's like five fucking pay checks for me.

Trust me, I just had to buy a new Xbox. Luckily, EB totally rocks and they traded in my broken Xbox for $30 off the price of a new one. Sweet.

Pchaw... damn your non-emoticon-using posts.

I don't visit the internet to think... dammit.

But seriously, that new Xbox did cost me like five pay checks after other expenses and whatnot.

Thats sick. I'm sure there had to be more to it than the Xbox and some clothes. But I guess it will help the video games cause voilence thing.

Obviously those guys are screwed up. But I wouldn't say the Xbox caused it. Xbox didn't make them do it. I think anything could've set these guys off.

Finally something a little more interesting, I'm sick of all this terrorist/anti-america conspiracy bullshit. Everyone I know hates america, big fucking woop that people in the middle-east do aswell. And I wouldn't put the fact that Xbox sparked them up past me, after all, if someone pisses me off but I'm couth enough to not crack their skulls open, I pretend I am a video game character and blow them to oblivion. These guys simply had the actual chance. Hey, I'd do some weird shit too if the equipment was open to me. First on my list: Kill George Bush and use his guts to fertalise Martha Stewart's lawn while she is 'away on vacation'. Second on my list: Watch Martha's plants die.

this whole thing is such a beat-up. newspapers know they'll sell more copies if they put Xbox in a headline instead of "Drugged up weirdo goes psycho and murders well meaning but stupid girl and her friends".

Yeah, the normal "People beaten to death w/ baseball bats" isn't as juicy as "Massacre caused by Xbox!"

Blah.

Except for money. I would like it if money fell on my head.

Well, paper money, not coins.

Really, I'd rather the money fell into one of my pockets.

Well, the back left.

'here in scotland two warped bastards killed cos of manhunt.sick bastards'

What actually happened is -

Two guys were in a gang. One guy owned 'Manhunt' and was alledgedly obsessed with it. He then killed the other gangmember and stole some money/some random possession. Parents of victim then acted like utter wank postules and started ranting and raving about how the game caused the death of their son when in reality it's inbreeding which caused the death of their son because if the parents of the murderer were higher up on the evolutionary ladder, their son would have been also, and thus their son wouldn't be stupid enough to get involved in a gang and go around killing people.

Now Game, Dixons and Curry's have taken 'Manhunt' off the shelves because they don't want bad press, and the Daily Mail is asking the Government to, and i quote, 'Ban these Evil games'.

How about we cut out the middle man, and ban the inbreds from having children?
