Child of Flame Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I came across this while reading about some more of the hilarity surrounding the honorable Jack Thompson. Click--> I especially like the last sentence about how even though this generation is the most non-violent generation of Americans ever, they're the ones being subjected to the harshest, most tight security in schools and such, as well as faced with the most suspicion.

The statistic that is hidden in those graphs is the Roe versus Wade result. Because abortion was decriminalised, the sad reality is that there are fewer unwanted children (because there are more aborted ex-humans) to grow up and commit crime; it is the children of poor economic and social backgrounds that commit most of the crime, e.g. drug-related larceny and assault. Statistics are a wonderful tool to prove anything (I notice there were no raw data listed, like the size of the sample space, standard deviations, marginal probabilities, etcetra, etcetr OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking all factors into account, violent crimes are down. Since the crime rate has fluctuated since RoevWade, and since those fluctuations it has seen a steady decline in recent years, it seems to me that we can, at the very least, entertain ideas other than the RoevWade argument. On the other hand, more abortions combined with 3strikes laws might be the biggest factor. Since there are fewer unwanted children and a huge number of the population in prison.

metadigital Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Latest issue of The Escapist: ... Once computers and graphics processors are able to mimic reality, watchdog groups will learn that the Grand Theft Auto titles were mere warm ups. They'll be called upon in record numbers to protest video games with more hysterics than ever. Contrary to what they expected, the more accurate and realistic violent video games become, the less entertaining they will be for children. Instead, parents will be in an uproar over Grand Thought Identity, a virtual reality game that will instill teenagers with the ability to think for themselves and make sound, reasoned arguments using the dialectical method. Lawhunter, a game that teaches you the functions of the government (local municipal offices on Easy Level, state senate on Medium, and Congressional Filibustering on Legendary), will break all previously known records despite Madam President Clinton's efforts to make it illegal to create a game documenting any of the legal process on the grounds that giving "anyone" that sort of knowledge poses a security threat - of the mauve level. Yes, once games are truly lifelike, gamers will discover that the only thing worse than 8-bit graphics are 8 trillion-bit graphics, complete with nauseating liquids, disgusting squishy sounds, and truly offensive smells. ... :cool: OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
