BeenHereBefore 1,332 Posted February 24, 2021 Video games are worse cause of the online play and we didn't have that back in our day. I get on and play COD multi player and all you hear is 8 year olds calling everyone the N word and then the F word to impress each other.

GobbleDog 816 Posted February 24, 2021 Probably some truth to it. Poor kids are more likely to a life of crime and violence and Grand Theft Auto doesn't help those kids. Glorifies gang-banging and particularly bad ... it's realistic and fun as hell. No other "violent" video game is quite like it... war games, sniper games, etc. Doesn't harm most of the population though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,311 Posted February 24, 2021 I wonder if it would work in reverse. We could end obesity by having kids play video games where the characters exercised and ate a healthy diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd randomly guess 60% are indirectly due to Mexican drug cartels. The cartels don't care who sells it, but the gangs do. Turf wars, retaliations, gangster life.

Link Quote Violence in Chicago and other cities across the country is the symptom of centuries of racism, an epidemic that has plagued our nation since long before COVID-19 Simple example, more are out there of course. MSM is the leading pusher of this drug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted February 26, 2021 https://documentaryheaven.com/chicago-at-the-crossroad/ I found this documentary on Chicago was really good overall. The whining was limited, does a good job obliquely noting that Democrats actively worked against AA people. And amazingly, AA people continue to suffer in any location where Democrats are the dominant political force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
