According to the christian community who's representative spoke out in an australian interview this morning on sunruse. Many opinions have arised defending and attacking the game that the mass murderer has admitted to using for 'training purposes'. Whilst most of us on here would agree that blaming a mass murder on a game and having it banned is on the same level of having a person of ethnicity attacking another and then banning that ethnicity from the country, I do think we need to point out that there are people who actually promote these pithy double standards. Of course we should try to understand where they are coming from to better our point of view, as per every argument. For example. They might see this as a case of a man whos so obsessed with playing shooting games, hes willing to try and close the gap between fantasy and reality by attempting to replicate the massacres shown in the game. Although that may be part of the reason, then you could not just limit the blame to video games. As there are often more gruesome and vivid displays of violence in other games as well as movies, documentaries and art.

The man appears to have absolutly no remorse for his actions. That is not a result of playing the game, but more so a condition of the mind which allowed him to perform his actions. Which brings me to my next question. In the media, they had mentioned that he said his actions were 'anti-muslim'. This leads me to believe that he attacked mainly muslim believers. They mentioned he was afriad of his country losing its national identity. Now, by 'his' country, I refer to the country he was born and raised in. Anyway, Does this mean to say that he was in fear of his country losing its national identity? Because if so, then that completely negates the so called 'fact' that the game was the problem. If so, his hatred for ethnicity within his own country was what lead him down the path of massacre.

After examining all the claims, this leads me to believe he is some form of a sociopathic psychotic. If we were to blame anything, it would have to begin at his state of mind. And those 2 conditions of the mind are not generated by video games (that I know of). The apathy of a sociopath could explain the lack of remorse for the killings and the reasons behind it, psychotic.

What do you think about the whole situation?
