Current Events
 
Thats it. I had enough not intellegent topics here. Well, yets start talking about what happening in the world. :P

I personally think PC doesn't have enough of these TOK topics, so why not start creating them.

Remember, no flaming. ^^;

Arnold Schazann... bleah ... elected Governor of California.

I hope he doesn't change PE to 4 years O.O *shudders*

STURM!

This is a serious chat. And that post doesn't relate to the topic!

Video Games don't go right to current events... well... A new Governator - er - Governor is... ^^

Kairi October 19th, 2003 9:05 AM

Unless it the games were tied to an event, like Grand Theft Auto Vice City, for instance. However, this is not the case here. ^_^;

Haha, how ironic.

Anyway, on the subject of Vice City, I just read about some kids who shot one boy dead and seriously injured another in a drive-by shooting. It was somewhere in the US, although I can't remember where exactly.

When questioned, the kids said that they "were bored, so decided to mimic their favourite videogame, Vice City."

Clowns.

I bet in a few years, the govt. will get these games banned, with all the violence and all caused by these games.

Timbjerr October 19th, 2003 10:10 AM

I never even liked the concept of the GTA games...It only shows how violent today's society is when those games become as popular as they are now...

Kayleigh October 19th, 2003 11:25 AM

Yes, they give too many wacky psychos ideas... o_o *runs to burn all of her brother's 007 video games*

Haruka October 19th, 2003 11:27 AM

Well. Should children under 13 should play those shooting games.. I personally think they shouldn't

*Burns all those James Bond DVDs.*

and also...

BOO ya!

Kayleigh October 19th, 2003 11:32 AM

I don't think so. Any kind of video game that involves killing or shooting should be marked up to the 'M' rating. But anyone who would play something like that isn't really 'Mature' anyways. :tired: No offense to any teenage guys that love those kinds of games, but that's just my opinion.

Timbjerr October 19th, 2003 2:11 PM

I'm not into all those kinds of video games and I'm a teenage boy...I'm just not a big gamer (I play Pokémon, Animal Crossing, and SSB...and that's about all)

Kairi October 19th, 2003 2:26 PM

I'm quite the gamer but I do not own any titles with the M rating.

I'm not sure how much of an effect they really have, but some of the stuff you do in that game can really desensitize you to violence, and the abuse of women.

Lol, isn't it funny my example turned out to be the first current event? I'm good. XP

Timbjerr October 19th, 2003 2:29 PM

I'm tired of talking about video games...what else is in the news?

pokefreak October 19th, 2003 3:32 PM

i thought we were talking about arnold being governor of california.
does anyone here actually support him? i mean, even though we knew gray davis was bad, we didn't actually need to replace him with an actor, right? especially during the budget crisis, too.

Kairi October 19th, 2003 3:37 PM

Well, I know nothing of the situation, but that he won by a landslide, with some40% of the votes. I don't watch TV or do politics, so...umm..that is all.

Haruka October 19th, 2003 3:40 PM

Me nether. I don't watch any politics anyways.

:P

Rift October 19th, 2003 3:47 PM

Well, the schools of Oregon are in a budget crises and they fired alot of my favorite teachers (like my spanish and band teachers) and the only reason Swarzenagger won the Re-Vote was cause hes a big movie star and everyone (well a lot of people) love the guy...

(see, i can be mature when i want to be!)

Good idea Haruka.

I don't pay attention to Politics either right now, I might eventually allocate some time to reading news online in the future heh. :P

Timbjerr October 19th, 2003 6:27 PM

ehh...how many candidates were running? I heard that he became the governor-elect when they recalled Gray Davis, but when I heard that, I was thinking, "How did he automatically win the race when one of the candidates were dropped off the ballot?"

meh...I'm not from California, so none of this really will affect me at all...silly Californians are all doomed!

Miyu-chan October 20th, 2003 3:09 AM

<--- Is moving to California. x_x; (Is an idiot? ) I know nothing about politics... u.u

Haruka October 20th, 2003 12:37 PM

Well, I dunno how Swarzenagger is going to slove the 5 billion deficit.

:-\

Shining Arcanine October 20th, 2003 3:31 PM

The US Economy went up today.

Kyosuke October 20th, 2003 4:33 PM

Well even though I don't live in California, or even the US for that matter, I have been paying attention to what was going on with Arnold. When I first heard that he was running, I thought he must have been losing his mind, actully thinking that he would win, but in the end he did, and I think it was good, cause that means he might even put some of his own money in the economy being the richest male actor and all, and thats good news for California.
