You would post this, wouldn't you.
there's someone inside me that softly kills everyone around
they don't know they're dead to me 'cause intent never makes a sound

Look, if I didn't, someone else would, and I wanted to feel special today.

Hmm, maybe I'm an idiot, but... What did this guy do besides dissing everything related to gaming to be so hated?

Old ladies may complain a lot but they don't bring it to court, which is what he is exactly hated for.

Go look up at some of the shit he's attempted to bring into court and you will see why everyone is having a party over this

Oh, I just read about it... not just dissing videogames and bringing it to court, also the way he does it and the fact that he can't keep it in his pants...

well this is good news indeed.

BTW: Its this jerks fault that I couldn't get an M rated game at gamestop despite you know having a beard, a college book bag on me filled with textbooks, all because they said my state Id was too scruffed up, it wasn't that bad but I got a new one now, and my drivers license( I don't drive at college) was 2 weeks expired Im like are you serious, then these 2 14-15 year old kids had to get their parents just to buy the strategy guide for COD4, well Im just going out on a limb here but I think that if they are getting the strat guide they have the game, OOH wait no they just wanted to look at the violent pictures probably all 5-6 of them.  Its his fault cause he would go around to gamestops and sue the hell out of them if they sold his son a T or M game without requiring identification.  Then he goes to court saying the violence in video games is the root of all evil despite the fact that we have it in movies, Tv shows, the internet, and before that plays, sports, the arenas in rome.  Idiot.       *shakes angry fist.

Didn't he say microsoft was training terrorists on xbox live or something?  I think it was halo related.  Could have been fabricated, I didn't care enough to check it out.

No, he claimed it was training snipers, because a kid, whose dad was a sharpshooter in the army, sniped a couple students at his school, I guess.
