Parents! Teach your children how to use an image host! Lest they bestow gaping anuses upon all of us.

A realistic toy gun is a goddamn stupid toy for a toddler anyways.

And I don't mean in the OMG A GUN sense, I mean most toddlers would probably prefer a neon ray-gun thing (preferably with flashing lights and loud noises) than a hunk of black plastic.

It's like giving them a copy of Slaughterhouse 5 instead of a copy of "Mickey Mouse and Goofy go to School!" to read.

I love it when people say that videogame violence doesn't effectg people, and guns don't kill, and all the other jazz that I have heard.

I understand that guns, in their own self, are completely incapable of killing someone unless they have a manufactoring flaw, but no one should leave a gun in a loaded-and-ready-to-shoot mode anyways. I heard that Singapore has the lowest crime rate because everyone has a gun, so no one messes with anyone with a gun. I just hope these anyone people don't just cap people they don't like. Or kids trying to see how many windows they can shoot out.. Or anything along those lines.

Also, violence in video games effect people on a very minimal scale. They HAVE a rating for a reason. It needs to be the responsibility of the parent to monitor what their kids decide to play. What good respecting parent would get a 6 year old kid a copy of manhunt, anyways? I am saying this from experience, I love to play shoot'em game in 3d (you know, with the dynamic lighting and HD-style rendering where you can see hairs growing on the moles of the bad guys from a mile away.), and yet, I find myself a very mellow guy in 'real life'. (Unless I am playing a co-op game, where I have 60% of the kills of ALL players in the game, and my allies start to shoot me.)

Oh well. What can you expect? I don't think its right for a parent to justify blaiming everything on the 'things' of society, just because they are 'too busy' to supervise their own children. How dare they make excuses!

Yeah, got a little pissed off when i seen what they did to the image - as noted by my edit.

As far as my kids are concerned, i am not worried, they are all straight 4.0 students, and are huge for kids their own age. My oldest boy is 13 yrs old, 6'2" tall, 186 lbs, and is already wearing size 13 size mens shoes. No one to date has screwed with him in Jr High. I suppose, the baby with the gun, would have thrown him for a loop too.

Sorry metric system people. Not sure what the conversion is for pounds to stones, or feet to meters be for my boy. Actually, never understood why Europeans smoked fags, spent pounds, weighed with stones, or called guy's blokes? All i really know is that the metric system is one screwy language.:confused:

actually for heights, feet and inches is still a very common thing.

Also stones aren't metric :confused:

You conceived him in a nuclear reactor, didn't you.

Stones? Someone's stoned here, I think.

maybe toy guns are big news in whatever backwards pussy communist euroshithole you're from, but here in god's land (america) we don't cower and wet ourselves over the mere sight of a cap blaster. We smile, pat the mother on the back for standing up to liberal tyrrany and light our cigars off burning korans, usa #1

No, here in America, most wet themselves whenever the President yells "orange terror alert" whether there is an increased threat or not. We submit to having to carry stupid little 3 ounce bottles of shampoo thru airport security because by god that will make us safer. as if.

Bullshit.

Most people have no idea what level of alert is even announced at any given moment, nor would they take the alert seriously even if made aware. First responders are practically the only people who pay any attention to this shit after 7 years of hyper reactive policy, and even that has loosened up somewhat.

Airport security is most certainly a joke though, I will heartily agree with that much.
