I'm not much of a gamer, but I think it would be fun to experience one of these LAN things.

They just HAD to jam that videogame violence crap in there, didn't they. Most LAN parties include kids at least 15 years old, and I think that by that age even America's youth can separate fantasy and reality. Attending LAN parties is possibly the most fun I've ever had, and that's not just because I r00l the UT field.

If you think about it.. How many people have died because of video game fanatics?

What, they blame Columbine on it.. is that it?

I've been playing violent video games since I was about 5 (23 now), been playing hockey since 7, listen to crazy music and metal, and you get me on the road I am the nicest and most patient driver out there, one of the nicest guys on the ice, and in person, I'm probably one of the most passive people you've ever met.

I think a south park quote, another show they love to bash, had a great quote in the song Blame Canada. It has all the parents singing and at the end they say

"..cause a fuss before someone thinks of blaming us." My parents paid enough attention to me that I didn't need to bring a weapon to school to get it.
