Good morning, I was reading the CNN web page and I saw a headline that caught my attention “video game caused death?”. It turn out two teenage boys mimicked Grand Theft Auto 3 which is a video game for x-box, Play Station, computer and so on. Now I have the same game and you don’t see me out killing people do you? No. so the 14 and 16 year old took turns trying to hit the sides of vehicles from a hill top over looking the highway. In the usual fashion the parents are suing the developers of the game, for the grand tune of $200 million in punitive damages and $46 million in actual damages. Take Two (game developers) said they would seek to dismiss the suit and further stated….

"The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit and are similar to lawsuits brought and uniformly dismissed by courts in other jurisdictions where the plaintiffs' sought to hold entertainment companies responsible for the violent behavior of individuals who used those company's products," Take-Two said in a statement.


Well guess what those teenagers were old enough to know better anyways, every one will lay the blame the games, movies and even music. But what I am wondering is how they got the game in the first place? Who bought it for them hmmm I would say the parents, they should also share the blame because do we or do we not teach our kids right from wrong? As well whose rifle had they used? I mean a teenager can’t just walk in a buy a rifle either. Then turn around and sue a game company for a ridicules amount of money? Get real and look in the mirror you kids fucked up. After a certain age if you bought them up with any guidance your job is done and they have to make decisions on their own. Bull shit like that makes me sick; I would like to know how they came up with the dollar amount for that suit. Now way did they do $ million in actual damages. Yes one person died and another was wounded but stop being insane. Anyway must get ready to go to work talk to you all later have a good one everyone.


Little Leroy was at home doing his Math homework.
He said to himself, "two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven.
Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine".

In that moment, his mother comes in and hears what he is saying.
"Leroy, what are you doing?!
Why are you saying that?"

Little Leroy answered, "I'm doing my Math homework, Mom".

She said, "And is that what your teacher taught you?"

He replied, "Yes"

The next day, the mother, worried about the education her son is
receiving, goes to Little Leroy's school to talk to the teacher.

The mother said to his Math teacher, "I would like to know what you are
teaching my son in Math?"

The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition problems."

Little Leroy's mother asked, "And are you teaching
them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?"

When the teacher stopped laughing she replied,
"Not at all! What I taught them was two plus two,
THE SUM OF WHICH IS four."
