[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2026429, member: 8373"] Sorry, but if you think mentioning mortal kombat in the context which it was discussed makes the NRA out of touch, your are blind. He listed several games and movies that are still popular. His point was that the media demonizes the NRA for gun violence and then the same channel airs advertisements to go see Jango and for video games like wolrd of warcraft and Assasin's Creed. That is true hypocrisy. I was so pissed when I heard Jamie Foxx blast the NRA and say that the media needs to stop glorifying violence through video games and movies when his own damn movie that opens this weekend is about a former slave turned vigilante in a Tarantino shoot-em up. That is hypocrisy and I don't even know if he realizes what he was saying. He basically said don't go see my violent movie, it has guns and guns are bad but please go see my movie, I need to get paid. It is ridiuclous. I grew up playing 16 bit shooting games, played cops and robbers, shot bb guns at squirrels (Felt bad when I hit one), and I carried a knife to school every single day of my school career, and not just penknives, I carried a 6" Gerber in a sheath on my belt in the early 90s in highschool in Colorado Springs. Never once did I stab anybody. People didn't mess with me too much either, but when they did, it was fisticuffs, not shanks to the kidneys. We had a lot of wanna-be bangers popping up and kids were getting shot on the highway by retired air force colonels (google it, 1993) and kids getting killed walking down the sidewalk by bangers. I carried everywhere but I never killed anyone. Most of on here played shooting games and cops and robbers and watched Red Dawn and Rambo. We didn't kill anyone. [/QUOTE]
