The Huffington post is more or less the worst often used news source on the internet.

Outside of posting bad articles, they will specifically copy other peoples articles just changing them enough to count as "commentary" articles of their articles.  Additionally despite being a liberal leaning aggregte they pretty much treat their employees worse then any other news source more or less making sure nobody can earn a real living while Ariana Huffington lives it up.

Hell, they post article s about alternative medicine pretending it's credible and then censoring actual medical doctors rebuttals.

True true, I don't want to give he impression that I read the Huffington post or consider it a good source of news, lol. I stumbled upon the article on my Google news feed.

@ps3-sales, I'm not sure why you got a ban either. I took no offense with what you said and understood it was aimed at the article itself. It's was a perfectly reasonable response to say you didnt want to read it after I prefaced the article by saying how poorly written and ridiculous it is.

this article makes me want to kill the author with my bare hands.

mental illness is somthing that can't be determined by thee selling of aa video game


How can you say that and not get banned???

The mods on this site are beginning to annoy me....

ok so you didn't see what i did. think about what this guy is saying.. i'm saying this guys stupidity, make me want to kill him like he's saying games and guns are doing in his article, and that's why i'm not getting banned.

it's giving reason why. it's like saying. stop saying stupid things. put regulation on guns. it's our cultur not the person. the article made me do it. you see what i'm getting at?

the article is the gun.

I know exactly what you are saying and I agree with you!!! The author is stupid and ignorant. Look at the first page of this thread. My comment got me banned. I agreed with the OP and called the article stupid and ignorant. The mods thought I was talking about the OP, so he banned me. Basically I was trying to prove a point that the mods need to be more fair.


well mods know i'm talking about the author cause i mentioned the article. give me a min to look at your post. also mod are subjective cause you are new, and i've been sarcastic a few times before, so the mods know my posting pattern.

 

amp moded you, so one part of it is you didn't read the article and commented on it before knowing anything about it, but hmmmm. i doubt you've established a pattern being new but. this is a tough one mate. amp care to clarify? 

I sent him a message a while ago hoping to clarify and letting it be clear that I aimed that comment at the author/article and not the OP. He hasn't responded yet. Very quick ban so no harm in the end, but still.

yea that may be what it was. i just read it again and i think could have been the reason for it. if it is then it may have been overturned.


Bans can be overturned? Does that mean it doesn't affect my mod history in a negative way? he still hasn't messaged me back

and @ joesampson yay a user that read what I actually meant ^__^ I've got to be more clear in the future though lol

"Finally, the ratings system and parental controls that the video game industry cites as evidence that the business is already regulated are only sufficient to ensure that their games do not make it into the hands of young children (which in itself is debatable) but does absolutely nothing to protect against catalyzing the psychosis of the mentally ill or the gradual and insidious blurring of the line between fantasy and reality for millions of adult Americans. Video game makers may not pull the trigger themselves any more than gun manufacturers do, but they potentially abet the act, and in that respect they are culpable."

No, they are not. You can NOT predict the motives and thinking of a psychopath. This line of thought is so insubstantial that it can be used to include any work ever produced. The simple fact is freedom of expression has always and will always have the possibility that .01% of any given population will interpret that as excuse to do something terrible they may well have done anyways or from a million other sources.

What's also funny is that they're wrong on the first part too.

 

  The ESRB isn't law, and any store can sell M rated games to 5 year olds if they want to.  They mostly just don't.

Gun control associated with violence, video games has been regulated among gamers/users to lessen crime events and unlawful incidents. Truly enough that the gun ban is being process and revised in the Second Amendment. Gun proponents in the U.S. argue vehemently that the Constitution guarantees their right to keep and bear arms almost without  check The actual wording of the amendment is somewhat vague, grammatically awkward, and leaves much room for debate. It reads, in full: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Moreover, we shall not exceed upon what the law of the land says about proper usage of weapons and power.Read more>>>
