Hahaha yeah, the seasons in Canada are sometimes almost a little TOO distinct :P

I find here, as long as you get out and do things in each season, you get the most out of each :)

My wife hates the winter, she doesn't like the cold, she hated skiing when I took her so the winter is longer for her than it is for me.

Dang. I personally fkn love winter. It's my favourite time of year.

The older I get the more I love winter. I used to hate it, but now I find it nice and comforting.

Fall is still by far my favourite season though <3
I don't believe you're that old?

I'm older and still prefer summer.

Mildly annoyed with people.

So, people are really ramping up the argument that video games cause gun violence. Personally, I think mental illness (or lack of available mental health related care) is more likely to cause gun violence than a game.

Hell, a crappy internet connection unrelated to games is more likely to cause violence.

Anyway, because a recent gun violence related incident was premeditated, a few people on my fb are insisting that the guy has zero mental health issues.

To my understanding, isn't even psychopathy considered a mental condition??

It wouldn't surprise me if it's in the political agenda to try and regulate/monitor gaming activity on a whole. They've already begun to try through the "Loot box" investigation which although it is a fair point and does need to be addressed I feel it is for another purpose rather than bring justice to those being bottle-necked into pay-to-win scenarios by game develops (not you Jagex, we love you).

We'll have to wait and see how things pan out from here, but the first thing the government should be doing is trying to establish support groups for these clearly troubled individuals and help prevent these atrocities as well as reforming and supporting the perpetrators before they commit violent acts. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

According to stats, 1/4 of the causes for mass shootings are due to mental illness, the other 3/4 are because of perceived political opponents - and that some people just want to watch world burn and cause the maximum possible carnage they can muster with what options are available to them.

I saw a man lose it the other week, police called, taser used, he dropped right in front of me. The man fought right to the very end <- if he had a gun it could of ended very differently.

@Sal - That makes more sense than blaming video games.

Sounds pretty fanatical. Could I ask where you got those stats from?
