I really don't believe that video games should be held responsible for a serial killer's actions. Video games are purely for entertainment, and just because some sick-minded man used video games as inspiration to his murders doesn't mean that everyone would do that. Many people enjoy playing video games for fun. It would take a seriously messed up person to use Call Of Duty as training to kill people. There are serial killers all over the world; Most of which do not even use video games as "training". Serial killers are just people who are not right.

I don't think I could live without my cell phone. I could live without my laptop and ipod, purely because I can use the internet and listen to music on my phone. So, I don't think I could survive without it.

I think that Ozzie Gullien was very wrong to say that about Fidel Castro, because Fidel Castro is a horrible man who has done awful things to many Cubans.
