Comment #1 violence in video games

In ancient times there were Tragedies, which were good if all characters or most of them dies in the end, during medieval we loved to burn heretics, later we cut heads and hang people for public entertinement, in 20th century cinema provide violent movies, in 21th century violent games took lead. Probably nobody who played GTA became a gangster, but he loved killing cops in the game, just like he would love identify with Rambo, or whith Creon from Sophocles's Antigone. There is some kind of violent beast in humane soul which desire violence, better watch it or do it in the game than for real.What about a kids? I remember as a kid I always played war or ninjas, or some other preending to be violent, this beast is also in children's nature, I recommend you a novel 'Lord of the Flies'.I agree with most of what you wrote, this is just a different view over the problem: games aren't bad - we are;)

Drugs... hmmmmmm

...oh sorry, I wandered off...;)

I think most of us took drugs at least once. It doesn't matter if you were curious or friend persued you; you tried it, and your life won't be the same anymore. Drugs give oppourtunity to leave this sh-hole world, and go into another dimension. That's why many people who sufferd a lot in their life become drug addicts; they needed to get away from problems, reality and this world. I'm not pro-drugs, I wouldn't recommend crystalmeth, cocaine or heroine to anybody, but I admit that In my opinion some drugs could be legalized, and are worth to experiance with: lsd, ecstasy, and mostly marijuana (well, at least it's not crack!;)). And I don't encourage to do drugs, but Ithink that everyone should try (almost)everything in life, and experimenting with light drugs is one of this things. People like to experiment with drugs, there is a Polish wesite where people describe their experiances (https://hyperreal.info/), it's very helpful if someone want to try drug for the first time, he know what to expect, he can find reasons why to try it or not(if there is this kind of website in english, let me know, reading about 'trips' is very interesting).

What about addiction? I don't think that marijuana is addictive, but I think people should stay away from so called hard drugs(heroine, crack), and be aware that they are addictive. Being a junkie definetly is a terrible thing, but I doubt that ligt drugs can lead to it, if someone smoke crack, he has a lot of problems, and he didn't 'waste time' with ecstasy or lsd.

I know that all this sounds like I encourage to take drugs... well I think I do... Smoking kills, Alcochol kills, so why don't we be bad and smoke some dope and give ourselves big smile, which looks just like banana and see if marijuana kills to;)
