A Graphic Speaks A Thousand Words..

FACTS. We don't need no PESKY FACTS...heh

Look at that, the correlation between video games and massacres... ONLY in the USA...hhhmmm I wonder what the causation could ACTUALLY be...

1. Ammosexuals will go through exhausting mental gymnastics to reason away

the clear truth. Guns don't kill people...you don't outlaw cars when people die...video games cause violence...lack of prayer in school...it's mental illness. And every time you refute each of these claims with clear facts they dig up some other ridiculous reason.

I think ultimately we are going to have to say "Sorry, fuck you, we ARE taking your guns. If you want to die on that hill, perhaps literally, so be it. But the sane people of America are done with your sorry excuses."

2. The rabid right is hoping they can have an excuse to actually fight en masse.

I doubt they could manage a huge uprising but they could cause numerous deaths from sporadic mindless attacks.

6. They already are, right? But ultimately 99.9% of them are fucking cowards when

they don't have element of surprise or aren't hiding behind their keyboards.

3. Thanks for the good information and perspective.

This post is worth a lot more than 1000 words would be.



(Although it raises peripheral questions too. Assuming the revenue figure is for consumer purchases, not business revenue, how on earth does little Canada manage to spend almost as much as us? )

4. Per capita expenditures

Canadians spend nearly as much per person as the U.S. does. The raw sales figures would put total expenditures on video games by the U.S. way above Canada.

5. Oh, of course. NOT the climate.
