You might as well ask Stevie Wonder to become a marksman.

That's right.

I forgot the "c" in front.

Excuse but does the fact that you claim that "Body Count" was not a crap band alter the fact that all crap music sucks massively?

Rap and crap might be synonymous...I won't argue. Body Count was neither though. Here is a hint: before compounding an error, take the 15 seconds it takes to look something up. You won't look as foolish that way.

So, you agree, your extraction of "Body Count" from the set of "crap music" does not alter the uniformly sucky sound of crap music.

Are you telling me that Body Count was disco?

And this promotes your views of Germany's pants wetting response to a minor crime in what way?

Of course they are no longer being rational but what I'm getting at is that their are other things present besides retards blaming video games.

A kid shoots up a school because he has reached his mental limit of crap.
Most of the kids who do this are the ones that are picked on, bullied etc.

Banning burritos would show just how asinine it is to ban crap that has virtually no effect.

Poor little things. We should feel soooo sorry for them.

Except that there's 100,000 other kids who've been bullied and picked on and who haven't gone on a killing spree for every little brat that has, so getting picked on isn't a cause or an excuse either.

Strictly speaking it wasn't rap, but a metal variant (think heavy metal meets rap in a dark alley).

And most heavy metal bands suck, too.

So what's that got to do with Germany blaming a kid's psychotic break on the video game equilvalent of a bad burrito?
