Sweden is a very democratic country.

In most aspects.

Women can vote. Immigrants are widely accepted. Elections are held regularly and it's been like this for a very long time. Sweden is OK.

There is however a swedish organisation of "know-it-all'ers" called Fair Play. Without being too harsch or too biased as a gamer I would instantly call everyone involved in this organisation as close to retarded as you can get without a doctors note.

They go on TV and talk to the media about the dangers of gaming.
After every disaster that's even remotely close to gaming they're there telling every mom to smack their kid in the head if the child dares to play anything but The Sims - Random expansion 52.

Columbine, Fair Play is on national TV discussing Counter-Strike.
Virginia Tech, Fair Play is on national TV discussing GTA - SA.
Finland, Fair Play is on national TV discussing GTA - SA.

I've played these games and I really don't feel like I'm going to shoot anyone, but my mom sure does.
After she's seen this organisation talk she instantly calls me to ensure that I don't believe that I get an extra try after walking into the bank with a prostitutes head in my left hand and a shotgun in the other.

No, mom. I know. I won't do it.
No, mom it's not the games fault they shoot everyone.
Yes, mom. I swear it isn't so.


The thing with Fair Play is that gaming is very unorganized. There is no group of people that isn't retarded who can debate these people.
In my opinion. Noone in gaming is old enough to get the geezers going.

A final word from a prominent feminist Maria-Pia Boëthius:

All men are potential rapists!

And I counter with:

Idiots... Everywhere...

I remember in one of Eminem's song ( I know that's old but read it ), he says something like this : They say it alters moods, but can it load a gun and shoot for you ?
The thing is, there will always have some idiots to follow what they do in games or music. After Columbine, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot have gone to court because the two stupid kids were listen to it. Music and Gaming can't alter mood if you are normal. If you aren't, then go see a doctor :P.

I actually had a big debate in my class about this exact issue. My teacher even said "this is aparently a touchy issue since it has started fist fights in my class" and the debate was
Do You Think Media And Entertainment Alter Our Minds To Go To Drastic Measures"
I was 1 of 6 kids on the side that said no and to put it briefly this is what i said to defend my side

America always looks for something to blame, when ever a tragic event occurs, we look for something to blame. As soon as Columbine happened, Marilyn Manson was immediately targeted as a key to this shooting. Same thing for all the other shootings, such as the Virginia Tech shooting, they blamed the company that made the shooters depression pills. Look at the shooting in Canada, (i forgot his name) the only person ever blamed was himself, and look at his life he was a goth, and some sort of vampire or something. So kids who listen to somewhat of a unique music, or a guy who is a vampire. American's will blame anything to get out of trouble, or make it seem like its not there fault and thats one of the major reasons why i think America is such a horrible country

Here's one that most people dont know about
A girl who was apparently a mind reader, had an MRI (brain scan) done on her. After about 2 weeks she had the MRI she sued the hospital saying that the MRI took away her mind reading abilities, and guess what she got, 2.5million dollars


Like i said Americans always blame something to get out of trouble, and they get money for it
