The same could be said of gun owners, yes?

Yes.

Nothing wrong with his statement. Children who are abused are a lot more likely to grow up to be abusers than those who grew up in a non abusive, caring environment. It's where bullies come from. And he did say an undeveloped mind, which I'm sure he meant as one that's been subject to abuse and or neglect, is likely to be swayed by playing the games, because it does desensitize kids against violence. People who commit gun crimes against innocents are mentally unstable all of the time. It starts at home, or a relatively small few are born that way. Billions do in fact play these games, and yes, a tiny fraction are influenced by them and act out violently using guns.

Yes, I only object to video games in general being blamed for those mass shootings. The vast majority of people can diffentiate between a game and reality. I know numerous people who play those games and none of them go shooting people un real life.

I think yes, the games are a factor.

It is like people who grow up in abusive families sadly, they end up being abusers.  Being bombarded with the violence and death of these games all day certainly could cause an undeveloped mind to be swayed imo.

Literally billions of people totally contradict your statement. The number of people who play these games and commit these crimes, in comparison to the number of people who play the games and do not commit gun crimes is extremely small!

Not for 21 counts of murder!

Ok, let me rephrase that then, 50 years for using a a company car privately is fricking ridiculous!!!! This would result in a fine in most other countries! 

Just what the world needs, another donut shop! 

Pathetic, given the fact that murder, if you confess, will get you only 25! What's wrong with these people? 

Riiiiiight! Blame it on the weed! So believable!

When it comes to religion anything can be construed! I am an atheist so no axe to grind for any faith! Take a look at most terrorist organisations and tell me what there faith is? As I said Islam has a rather satanic twist to it, remember non islam believers are infidels! 

I'm an atheist, too. If you look at recent history it might seem that Islam is the most evil one because they commit the most attacks, but if you look at past centuries, you'll find that Christianity has more than enough skeletons in its closet. Inquisition, witch burning, burning down entire cities, raping and killing all in the name of the Lord. Look at the IRA in Ireland. Now one could argue that this is centuries in the past for the most part, but then again, a large part of the Middle East still lives like we did centuries ago. They live very primitive lives and education is essentially non-existent. These people are very easy to manipulate and are used by very evil people who twist Islam to get them to commit their evil deeds for them. But it's not the religion itself that is bad. It's bad people abusing it for their evil purposes. 

It's like saying guns are evil, when in reality it's the people who pull the triggers who are evil!

Exactly.
 

A normal person sees a child lost or in distress immediately calls a policeman, customer service in a mall or airport, looks for the parent. These demons hype out uncontrollable looking how to drag the child to a room somewhere. I have read there are peados who can control their foul urges due fear of capture. These are the ones INMHO  who end up in developing countries to buy or snatch because they think they can get away with it.  
 

Many of these threads are soon infested with them. The defense of noncery, equivocations and whataboutisms. 

For some it's an urge they can fight off for awhile, but eventually they just have to give in. A lot of them also genuinely regret it afterwards. Imagine you have to live with that! What a nightmare that must be. Others are just psychopaths who don't give a <deleted> at all. They just go do their thing! Those are the really dangerous ones. Either way, one can just be glad to not have these inclinations!

Everything that goes on in the Gaza Strip is controlled by Israel? Including yesterday's attack?

Also, the blockade on the Gaza Strip is maintained by Egypt as well. The Egyptians could life it and nullify Israel's efforts in a heartbeat. They choose not to.

Hamas has been infiltrated by Israel a looooong time ago. So yes, they do control what's going on. Plus, if you instigate <deleted> all the time, fully knowing that it won't go down well and that it will lead to attacks then you are absolutely controlling what's going on! 

The Gaza Strip used to be occupied by Egypt, but they lost it to Israel in the 1967 war. Since then its been occupied by Israel!

Maybe you need to familiarise yourself a little more with Islam before making these comments, whilst there are many good Muslim people as there are Christians, Budahists etc Islam has a rather nasty twist to its ideals which so often become apparent!

I'm very familiar with the subject matter! Yeah, it's public knowledge that the  Quran can be twisted to justify atrocities, but so can the Bible. You might wanna look into that. It's quite surprising who should die or get stoned or whipped or get an eye for an eye according to the old testatement! By the way, Islam is based on Christianity. They have much more in common than most people think!

Neither are true

You've got be trolling! Pretty much every humanitarian organization says the complete opposite and that it needs to stop immediately! They've built a wall around the Gaza strip that is controlled by the Israelis. Everything that goes in an out of the Gaza strip is controlled by the Israel. The Gaza strip is literally a concentration camp that is heavily sanctioned! They more or less reverted back to living in the Stone Age!

You are blaming Israel for this attack ?

Yes! Their actions lead to attacks like this each and every single time! They want this conflict and they're huge instigators!

I don't think you understand how dictatorships work. Of course the ordinary person doesn't want war and violence but they'll fall into line pretty quickly once the dictator gives the marching orders.

 

Why do you think the West is so keen to keep stirring up trouble in the Middle East? Once Islam reaches "critical mass" then it's game over for the normal folk. Just look at Iran where they're killing young women for not observing the "peaceful" imposition of wearing a black bag over their head in the hot sun.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. If you really believe that the average moslem is all for suicide attacks, bombings, hackins and slayings then you're absolutely delusional because it's them who pay the biggest price for it because they're the ones who get the dirty and suspicious looks out in public on a daily basis. They want peace and just go about their daily lives just like anyone else! Islam is not a bad religion per se, but just like any other religion it can be used maliciously. Just look at what went down in Ireland a few decades ago.

Paedophilic men are fundamentally different than standard humans in their reaction to exposure to the underage and it is incurable. Not saying life jail in cases but they need to be permanently separated from society. Perhaps a remote Thai island where they will never “ever” experience another chance to encounter a child for the rest of their natural lives. 
 

 

Yeah, their brains are wired differently. Normally when people see young children the part of the brain that is responsible for a sense of protection gets activated, but in pedophiles it's the sexual arousal area gets activated. It's quite strange, but it is what it is.

No delusion here. I'm an atheist reading the Qur'an for a third time at the moment (with commentary by Robert Spencer, if you know him), so I know very well what it contains. Do you?  It's certainly not a 'religion of peace', but I know many Muslims (most of whom have never read the Quran in a language they understand, much less the hadiths), and they don't have values different from you or I. You have to understand that what believe is different from what can be found in their holy books. Want a template for war and war crimes -- read the Old Testament some time (which is the template for Quran, btw). But you won't find many Jews today advocating the enslavement of war captives, the destruction of whole peoples, etc (all of which is in the OT) 

You're wasting your time on that guy! Trust me! I wouldn't be surprised, if he is Israeli because of his rethoric! Sounds totally brainwashed to me!

No, Islam was created specifically for nefarious ends namely a worldwide caliphate. It doesn't need to be "hijacked" because it is a template for war and the subjugation or death of the kufr. It must be resisted at all costs, If you believe otherwise you are surely deluded.

The only delusional one here is you! Most Muslims I've ever spoken to about this subject matter want peace and for all the Islamic related violence to stop!

Good luck then. Shouldn't be a problem to prove it then. Get a good blood splatter analyst!

they are drones...with 48 wars on this planet why would you not use drones?

They're not drones because they can do maneuvers that are simply impossible for anything man-made. We don't have objects that can turn in any direction mid flight at full speed at any angle they want. Every single flying object we ever made turns in curves. Also, the objects im talking about are much, MUCH faster. We're talking coverung 30 miles in more or less a second. Watch the David Fravor episode of Joe Rogan's podcast. Fravor is a military pilot.
