Fuck Yeah!
As a fellow video g4m3r, I whole heartedly agree with your message. Video games NEVER cause so-called "violence" in youth, it might be one factor but that is highly unlikely. Today's youth violence has to do mostly with the school systems in "lazy America" as you affectionately put it. With so many bullies, drugs, and other shit running around in a so-called "safe environment", it's a no-brainer why the media tends to place blame on games and not "school".
That Greek thing was ROFLZ! Ancient stone TV. Hell yes!
And that VT killer was a Korean, like me. But I'm not that violent. Although I could be...one day. *joking...I hope* Anyways, the US media placed his "blame" on a Korean movie called "Oldboy". The movie is basically a revenge flick...and how it is not worth it in the end.
If Cho Seung-Hui (the VT killer) had seen that movie, I doubt he would have carried out his killings.
But, alas, the world is a cruel place. We can only hope for nothing. Oh well, back to playing Red Orchestra for me!

PS: That Jack Thompson guy can either take his words and wedge em up his muthafucking ass or meet the muzzle of a bolt-action rifle from me! Get angry! >:)
