Honestly, sometimes I wonder what the fuck is wrong with people.
At this point, I’d like to share a little gem of a quote regarding stupidity: “I say we just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.”
With that out of the way, I was reading an article about some or the other group getting all flustered about the upcoming Grand Theft Auto DS game, because it contains a mini-game which basically amounts to a version of Dope Wars. The inclusion of this now causes the glamourisation of drugs.
Right.
So, considering the games I played and the music I listened to when I was younger, I should’ve committed suicide (Marilyn Manson), blown out the brains of my classmates before offing myself (Doom), stolen cars and indiscriminately murdered innocents (GTA1), slept with, robbed, and murdered prostitutes (GTA3), killed a number of policemen (well, fuck, pretty much all of the GTA games), et cetera.
It’s retarded. Just because some people have problems distinguishing between fantasy and reality, and the concept of actions having consequences, doesn’t necessarily mean that all people are going to go out and have a GTA-inspired crime spree.
But, lest we forget, in the apologetic society we live in, we always have to cater for the lowest common denominator, and good grief, is that denominator ever so low, and ever so common.
Nyak.

Yup, the society we live in is so obsessed with not being offended and not being hurt that we’ve become a species of lilly arsed weaklings. People need to HTFU.
I also listened/listen to Marilyn Manson, played Carmageddon, and Doom. I have yet to kill someone, though I do have some road rage issues…
