If this wasn’t so tragic, it’d be hilarious. The irony of it all… Man dies of heart failure in the middle of a 50 hour video game binge. Game he was playing?
An online battlefield simulation…
If this had happened in the US, you know what would have happened don’t you?
“Ban violent games…they’re killing our kids!”
And a lawsuit…

Of course, because Americans are so eager to pin fault on anything except for where the fault belongs. Remember the kid who killed 3 cops and the parents and lawyers tried to blame the Grand Theft Auto video game for it? The courts wouldn’t hear it, and now the families of the victims are suing the makers of the video game for wrongful death… well, let me see here… first of all, no one is responsible for the actions of the kid except the kid himself. Secondly, who let the kid play the game? His parents probably bought it for him. Thirdly, Americans need to realize that whether it’s a video game, movie, alcohol, or guns and knives, that there are MANY more people that own these things who AREN’t committing these crimes than the few who are. Stop blaming the makers! Here, someone would blame and sue an automobile manufacturer if it was used to run down a pedestrian. Get real! When do we hold an individual responsible for their own actions… FREE WILL remember? Didn’t God give us that? So what’s next, sue the Almighty? Sorry, I ranted… just snowballed from your lawsuit comment.
