Check out this right wing tosser:

People who play WoW are just murderous, ticking time bombs apparently.
It seems the most dangerous thing in society isn't a raging meth habit or a loaded Uzi, but a level 53 gnome.
What is it with these right wingers that are happy to have guns in the house, but fear a PC like its a stoked hang grenade.
This is what right wingers scrawl when their childhood is chock full of unhappy memories of no one wanting to play with them. EVE shall be purged by fire - please Gods let them ALL burn in Jita. |

Gnomes are hazardous. We all know that. And if you think a lvl 53 is bad, wait till you meet a lvl 54.

stoked hang grenade?
You mean cooked hand grenade? I prefer milk chocolate
Also the PC is the nesting place of the internet, that horrible thing that mocks their mythology and shows no signs of letting up |

people like to latch onto an easy, safe explanation for why a tragedy happens. It allows them to avoid the real, painful reasons that would cause something like this. It just so happens that the one thing killers have in common is having a computer or video game console. What they refuse to realize though, is that most households in the industrialized world have these things.
tl;dr people want an easy explanation, and don't want to admit when they are wrong. (this actually could apply to a lot of forum people around here)
edit: alternately, some people just have an axe to grind and will do whatever it takes to grind that axe. much like forum people here. |

So, if WoW makes them murderers, that means Eve makes us evil geniuses trying to take over the world from our cages. Did I mention we are mice in this scenario? I dont agree with you saying it's simply because that guy is a "right winger", I believe it has more to do with an older population that doesnt understand, and basically fears, things that are "new" and "strange". That includes computer games, outer space, and other things they are ignorant about because they haven't experienced them firsthand or haven't grown up with them as a fact of life. It comes from right wingers, left wingers, any winger, really. It will also happen to you when you get older.

It's the same sort of mentality that imagines "gun free zones" actually mean something when in reality humanity can be pretty ******* base. It's a convenient explanation that skirts any real examination of the issue and eschews critical thinking. +1 in local |

If he was American, Andrew Bolt would probably be viewed as fairly mainstream.
But I can tell you that Bolt gets a lot of people here in Australia quite angry with some of his right-wing rants. And he's been successfully sued in the past.
Having said that, I quite enjoy his columns. There's only one thing I hate more than far-right nutters and that's anything left of centre. Bolt often does a tidy job of putting these clowns back in their boxes. Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana. |

Let me show you my gnome. "For example, if you are thinking about selling a Republic Fleet Firetail as a regular Firetail, be sure that the market volume is high on regular Firetails and that there are plenty of buy/sell contracts for Republic Fleet Firetails. [...] The players most interested in Republic Fleet Firetails are going to be players flying regular ones."-á -- PB |

The right winger Bolt who blogged that drool has a history of picking on gamers.

He also played modern warfare but for some unknown ******** reason the press zeroed in on WoW.
The worst fail of this computer game makes mass killers theory is one of the survivors of that sicko also plays WoW. Computer games dont make killers, twisted f@%ks make killers. |

You know, come to think of it, the actual fallacy in his WoW as a training tool for crazed gunmen argument is a matter of game mechanics. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to shoot a bunch of people if you don't even have a pet to draw their aggro? |

WoW makes people stir crazy thanks to it requiring very little if any conscious thought to "play", Eve not so much.
What Eve does is nurture the socio-pathic seeds we all carry with us while engaging us with complex math problems and various moral/ethical dilemmas.
Where WoW breeds mass-murderers, Eve breeds politicians, CEO's, lawyers and philosophers. QED. |

from actually playing, I would say level 65-68 is the point that would cause people to go on a murdering rampage. |
