There is no such thing dude, we have left the dark ages quite a while ago, in case you haven't noticed.

I can't believe they keep relating acts of morons to games, i guess it's easy pickings or something, maybe even a reason to drive the prices up even further.

Every couple of years they try to blame the act of some whack-job to dungeons and Dragons, or video game..... Are these people kidding me?

I read that article that Rickard posted, of course the guy admitted "intentional injury" he went to his house with a knife...... Is intentional injury a reallegal term?

Sure you can. The real link is between property and violence -- a link that's as old as time. It's like blaming lawnmowers for it if a guy gets angry and shoots his neighbor for stealing a lawnmower. It's not the lawnmower manufacturer's fault -- duh.

All this time I've been trying to cast fireball on people that tick me off when I could have just stabbed them. Doh! DnD made me fail to kill people!

Stratos · 03-30-2005, 11:46 AM

Yes, stabbing people to death is more effective than burning them alive.

OK that one is weird too. Like all these cases. I wonder when I will learn how to cast Limited Wish spell so I can say: "I wish to be rich.".

Morgeruat · 03-30-2005, 12:04 PM

and it would work too, for about 30 minutes (gotta love the "limited" bit)

I blame lawyers for our crumbling society. No offense Timber but some of your peers need a good smack across the head for coming up with crap like this as a defense. [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img]

One question though isn't the district attorney the prosecution? That would make it even worse so he deserves two smacks. [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img]
