Yet it is almost fascinating how this new agression and rage of violence is growing almost simerlairy to the even-more-demanding society where te touch and show the youth the you only have once chance, and you better win. We show this through sport, tv, censhorschip, school and laws. The moralizing society. Criminal record ? you're finished. Maybe a more tolerant society would keep the brains of such children intact and prevent this kind of things from ever happening. You should wander why they burst ? Is it only the moralizing .. the constant finger .. or also the fact that most of it is pretty hypocrytical ? (in a country where even the president, in his youth, did things (amsterdam, summer holidays?) that would ruin any one's future in the named country. Dare I say it. Maybe the video games are a clear indicator that mentally you're making mean dogs out of the youth. Lighten up the law, get over the primitive have and have-nots, winner takes all, etc. ideas. They're sick!. If not even plain fascistic. Ralf N.
