"What happens when he calls his father a bitch because the kid heard it on a tv?
The latter event actually happened with a few minor details changed."

I said this... because it happened to me. My point was that people learn from elders, role models, leaders, and, lots of times, media.

So, I'd rather you not rage at me if you don't understand something.


Edit: Holy crap, a triple ninja.

Personal testimonies are not a valid form of evidence.

Not really, it entirely matters on how one was raised and their surroundings.

Yeah really. Are you really that ignorant of basic biology?

Yes, they can.....Never known 2 brothers with completely different personalities?
A lot depends on genetic make-up. A lot also depends on how one is raised.

Psychopathy, for example, has been proven by Robert Hare to be a neurological disorder that's present from birth.

That's true most of the time. Lets get back on topic.


I wouldn't say entirely, but it definitely can be part of it.

Edit: Holy crap guys, a quadruple ninja? This is definitely a record or something.

Galt: Because we don't know much more of the situation, we cannot assume that he was a psychopath. That said, we can't assume that he wasn't.

I lol'd.

Anyway, this stuff is sad.
I read about some that kid raped a girl and opened up a bottle of Tabasco sauce inside of her afterward because her and her friends called him ugly or something on Runescape.
People take games way too seriously.

It's entirely true.
@Huck; which is more likely? The kid's a psycho or a game that millions of people play is the cause of his psychopathy and caused him to kill his parent?

After re-reading the article and seeing this: "The truly messed up part is that the mother then gave him the keyboard back in a fit of terror, and the boy calmly returned to his gaming session" I'm inclined to say that he was psychotic. Dunno why I didn't think much of it before.

Still, I don't think that he would've killed his father if he didn't take the video game away. That action definitely triggered something in his brain.
