Along those lines you couldn't possible dismiss the wild theory that it was actually toast or breakfast cereal that made them do it.

- hkolek 14y agoExactly, there is this joke in german that goes like this: "90% of violent acts are committed within 24 hours of the consumption of bread. Ban bread!" This kind of "logic" is just ridiculous.
- sageikosa 14y agoNow if it were: "after consuming bread, 90% of the time the consumer will commit a violent act within 24 hours", we'd have to worry.
- kahawe 14y agoIt is not "after playing a violent video game, 90% of the time the consumer will commit a violent act within 24 hours" yet people act like that and want to have video games banned...
- jack-r-abbit 14y ago100% of all school shootings took place at school. Clearly school is the problem, right? :)
- DanBC 14y agoNo, you could say it's very unlikely that toast or breakfast cereal is to blame, but that we do not have any research to say either way. And until someone comes up with a credible link between breakfasting and violence we won't have money to do any research.
- kahawe 14y agoExactly. sopooneo's claim is just as ridiculous, unfounded and manipulative because it puts the blame on the video game industry instead of applying "in dubio PRO reo".
