Am I the only one who remembers MobWars? You know, the game Zynga carbon-copied before they started getting big in Facebook games? Their entire business is built purely on theft of IP. They've never innovated a god-damn thing.

I'm not saying motive is irrelevant; I'm stating what should be the obvious fact that motives do not cause the crime to occur.

"Price disagreement causes armed robbery"

The broken bone is directly, objectively caused by the fall. Human actions do not fit the same criteria, so your comparison is terrible. You're also contradicting yourself and proving the point I made in the first place.

And with that last sentence, now you're doing EXACTLY what I said was bullshit from the start, and you're contradicting yourself in the process. Congrats. STFU

You got that backwards.

I disagree with anything being said to "cause" a crime other than choices, since they don't. The headline should be "Teen shoots at, stabs 'friend,' suspected online game motive" or something like that. Put the crime at the forefront; don't say the motive "caused" the crime. That's just bullshit.

He may have used that as his reason, but that's not the point. The only thing that "caused" him to perform the assault was HIS OWN FUCKING CHOICES.

The important question wasn't always whether or not someone was offended/disrespected. It was whether or not it mattered. I was under the impression that it was answered over 200 years ago with a resounding, "No."

When the FUCK did this "caused" crime bullshit start? When the FUCK did perpetrators stop being responsible for their actions?

The crazed teen was the cause of the assault.

All answer to Caesar.

I use mods that make the game more difficult.

There is a difference between observing plus describing the mechanisms of observed phenomena and just arbitrarily pulling "a spirit did it" out of no observation or evidence. It is disingenuous and rather petty to lump them together under the label "done by man on earth," as if to ascribe guilt by association. Poor…

Those hacks can't tell Amontillado from Sherry!

You're a fucking asshole, and you've just taught your kid that it's OK to lie and manipulate people to get what you want. Congratulations.

So you set out to define "wonderful" as that which is unattainable in reality? You wish them to grow up and learn that life can never be "wonderful?" You can play the Santa game and stimulate creativity without actively persuading or badgering them to accept the fantasy as reality. It's not suddenly less fun or…

U mad, bro? Y u mad, bro?

I didn't say people don't protest; I said people should stop protesting silly things. This Killer Jesus game actually sounds pretty cool.

I covered that by including Christianity, a currently practiced religion, in the comparison. The point was that they're all myths, and, more importantly, nobody can copyright them or claim copyright on them.
