Default Re: Grand Theft Auto inspires Thai murder

I agree that it begins with the parents, and that they should be more aware as regards video games. Simply put, they should be involved more with their children (which I do hope is the trend nowadays), in which their children will be comfortable with their parents, and will be able to share problems, no matter how silly it may sound to the general public.

I remember this instance, when my uncle and myself would tease my mom. She would then jokingly reply that we came from an elite school, hence they should have taught us some manners. When I thought about it, I don't think they actually taught anything to that extent. I am pretty sure it has been drowned by all the subjects they flush in our heads. Either way, their focus is on a different path.

The same can be said with the parents. Sometimes people can be too focused on the big picture, when those little things are brewing up to smear the big picture.

I personally enjoy these games since they serve as an "outlet". From a bad day, or whatever-I-can-call-it-day. However, I am always for the betterment of everyone. I'd sacrifice my precious time for a friend in need, I'd try to be there for someone who's in need of an advice. Reason: I want them to feel loved, respected and listened to.

I know how it is to be alone, and I try as much as I can to let others feel that they always have someone to talk to.
