You need to roll a LeRoach to understand LeRouche.

Hahaha, this is awesome. I was about to respond with "What about the movies? Are those evil too?", but the next sentence goes on about the immoral Hollywood industry as well. And to say that we're going to become facists for playing this game? Bit much.

The best part is the "literature" he cites as his sources. Classic.

I agree with the reported effects but not with the reported causes. A lack of leadership, especially in development, is the reason most "youth" today aren't proactive. That blame lays squarely on the parents' and the government's shoulders.

I think its due to the fact that civics and nationalism haven't been taught in schools since the 70s and 80s.

You know, how to love your country and be a good citizen.

I think LaRouche is upset no one's talked about him in ... oh, 20 years or so. Poor forgotten screwball.

When's Ross Perot going to issue a statement about Halo 3?

What is the difference between man and beast?

Opposable thumbs that allow us to work those Covenant killin' analog sticks.

And before anyone asks, monkeys don't count. They suck at FPS's. Trust me. Short attention spans and an embarassing lack of tactical knowledge.

I'll agree this country is in a bit of a tailspin but it's not Halo 3s fault. Kids are stupid because the schools suck. Prisoners have air conditioning, food and health care and the taxpayers often don't. We are a 21st century country fighting a war with a 7th century country and meeting in the middle ground, the 14th century won't work. If your kid created some kind of makeshift gravity hammer from a shovel and a cinder block to kill neighborhood pets don't blame Halo, get the kid in a straight jacket!

Are you ser.....

Wait, is he serious?

It's people like this guy who make video games something to worry about. The people not smart enough to tell the difference between shooting a simulated alien and shooting an actual human being. If he (or she, I suppose) were to play this cybernetic propaganda machine, he'd likely go home and kill his own family, immediately. The shock of finishing the fight would be too much for his fwagile wittle mind. F*ckers.

Perhaps Halo 3 will ruin our minds. But, what game was LaRouche playing when he should have been learning how to use a comma? It's as if he has seen a comma before and thought "Hey, I should use that. A lot."

" Are people being inspired in these areas, to conquer the difficult scientific problems, mankind has never been challenged by before?"

Seriously, why the commas?

"The most obvious answer to any thinking individual— is to dehumanize the image of human beings."

Why the dash? Not even a colon is appropriate here.

This guy's punctuation is turning me into 'a psychotic-mass killer'.

Naturally, gamers cannot be intelligent people. We have to be mindless zombies that simply play games and wait all day long to spend more money on games.

Being a gamer makes you less of a student, scholar, worker, or whatever it is you do. Because games is the beginning and end for gamers.

What a fucking idiot.

Some of the smartest people I know are gamers. Doctors and PHDs that I've worked with and gone to school with. True to life heroes that I've personally served with (when I used to be in the military) and are at war RIGHT NOW are gamers.

Then pricks like this idiot goes and passes judgment on everyone why? Because he is not a gamer. He, like the thousands of other drones out there, needs to blame someone or something for society's fuck ups. His bad parenting isn't this issue... It's Halo (or GTA, or Metroid, or MGS).

To you Mr. LaRouche, FUCK YOU. =)

With love,
The Mor

After reading this, it appears that this LaRouche character has just finished playing Bioshock, because his theory on what is going to happen to US is almost exactly like what happened to Rapture.

Damn, I guess Jack's son didn't go to MY Best Buy... I got carded buying Halo 3. I'm 25. I have a full beard. I don't get carded at the beer store anymore. The teen at the checkout counter remarked "sorry, but we have to card anyone who looks under-30."

As funny as it was having to dig out my ID, it just shows that policy enforcement, just like at the bar or liquor store, is in the hands of humans. I got served underage all the time, and that was a hell of a lot worse for me than teh Haloz!!!

Question: Is Nintendo or Sony paying him?
I ask because he never say nothing bad a bout Wii games or Sony games. They take time form young people too.
And Metroid is violent and Zelda too

This article lost all credibility when he put the VT killing and the Minnisota Bridge collapse on video games. His other comments about how video games turns young adults into psychotic mass killers is far from the truth. AS with VT, the killer didn't even play video games and what about the psychotic mass killers before there were video games. They must of had technology way before theire time.
LaRouche please get a life and try to solve Amerrica's problems instead of blaming video games for all that is wrong in the world. Most of your complaints should be directed at the failing education system which only teaches how to past a test instead of critical thinking skills and how to think for yourself. Also Corporations outsourcing jobs to other countries because its cheaper and they don't have the same labor laws that we have in the U.S. Stop blaming games and look in the mirror and ask yourself what is the real problem and how do I solve it.
