This is a perfect example of why video games are MOSTLY a bad thing.

"and you still have no idea what is going on"
Assume much?
Jack thinks I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I've spent my life cruising on the calm waters of privilege. You seem to think I'm some kind of Pollyanna who doesn't know about 'real' life.
Neither of you seem to understand I got where I am on my own, that I've lived in some very sketchy areas and seen very sketchy things courtesy of hospital work, especially the large county hospital I worked at. And for a large portion of my tenure at work I was also a union steward and negotiator and got to see up close the complete lack of ethics and total depravity of some of the people in power.
I watch as we're destroying the planet, and see people playing into the hands of the rulers, at the same time as they're going down in flames.
So, I guess I should just write off the entire human race, declare the situation as hopeless, and rail against anyone who says different.
Except - there are other societies that do things better. So it's not our fate. It's not our genetics. It's just that we've learned to believe certain things. And the interesting thing about learning is that new things can be learned that replace old thing that were learned.

The heroin addict and alcohol abuser later told authorities he didn't remember killing the girl but said his 'demons came out' that evening, Seattle Pi reports.
A defense psychiatrist claimed that Ibrahim's horrific crimes were a result of him becoming obsessed with popular video game Destiny.
'It is my opinion that he was in the throes of a psychotic process at the time that Nawal died,' Dr Seth Cohen said in court papers.
He was pretty scrambled, either born that way, or due to drugs and alcohol, or both. it wasn't just due to video games.

And pretending that things can be fixed while saying "look on the bright side" does just as much NOTHING, but at least one of us is livin' in reality land. Optimism is just denial in a less self-damaging form. It's happy state of delusionalism.
I don't believe this country CAN do better. I just spent ten minutes marveling at all the horrible hateful trolls that comment on that poor little girl that got shot by the uber driver. If people lack any notion of sympathy for a KID that gets shot, what chance is there for any meaningful change??

"I just spent ten minutes marveling at all the horrible hateful trolls that comment on that poor little girl that got shot by the uber driver. If people ..."
What percentage of the population do you think those trolls represent? 100%? 10%? 1%? 0.1%?
Let's see ... assuming that 1000 people trolled - and that's being generous to make sure I'm not being too optimistic ... and there are 251,200,000 adults in the US (2014 figures), the trolls represent 0.000398089% of the adult population in the US. But let's say there were 100,000 trolls, just to give your assessment of US 'people' a sporting chance. It's still just 0.0398089% of the US adult population.
I hope I've made my point - that your opinion of 'people' in the US is based on an infinitesimally small percentage, which for some coughdelusionalcough reason you think is a realistic representation of the whole.

Saying it's all because of video games is kinda silly, I feel.
