Analyze THIS!

"Finally, Counter-Strike players resemble a youth subculture (Hebdige 1979, 1988; Thornton 1996) that can enter "liminoid" or liminal-like genre that promotes a temporary "limbo" of statuslessness, flow and movement (Turner 1982), a refashioning of time and community (Bruckman 1996; Bryce and Rutter 2000). This creative re-shaping of everyday life through play is an example of what Brian Sutton-Smith describes when he speaks of play and games as "anti-structural" occasions for "experimentation with variable repertoires" and "making free with a given social heritage." Sutton-Smith notes that "we may be disorderly in games either because we have an overdose of order, and want to let off steam, or because we have something to learn through being disorderly (1972)."

... ya know.. what happened to.. I like to play games and own people? I think society tries to over analyze things sometimes. Here let me anaylyze this and show you what I mean.

When things like Columbine and all that happened.. people blamed video games.. violence in movies and tv whatever.. did anyone once stop to consider.. damn maybe those kids were straight dumbasses? I hate to be the bearer of the bad news but yes.. there are sometimes just straight crazy people in the world and people who just should not have been allowed to live at birth. If the human race had it like some of the animals of the world, not everyone would have made it. Think about the little sea turtles. They hatch, then they have to run like Forest Gump to the water before getting picked off by birds and other random predators. Man. Now THAT'S stress and at such a young age. It's not like they're jacked into the Matrix while in their eggs learning kung-fu and the ways of the ninja.

So yeah.. that's all I got for right now.

Holla.

Oh. And the spellcheck for blogspot sucks. How does it not know what a NINJA is??
