"There are more of US killing US, than terrorists killing us. And in my community there are more of US killing Us than Cops Killing US."

Here's an idea...put your guns where kids can't get to them

Here's another...stop shooting each other

How about...put the ammo somewhere where the kids can't find them.

I like Chris Rock's take on guns:  “Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystander .”

That article has a point...  Only 2,974 died during 9/11.  Having almost 15,000 people murdered in 2007 just trumps that, and makes think, maybe we should worry about the mess in our own country instead of all of the crap going on else were.

Due to the 'war on terror' many more death have been tallied, which I am still trying to figure out how Iraq got into it, but I can not find consistent numbers on that, which would include troops in Afghanistan and all of the other countries related.

It will be interesting to see what Obama does...  The next 4 or 8 years or less will be interesting.  It sucks that so many idiots would try to kill him, but it is a reality everyone should be ready for at any moment, because it is more than possible.

Err... maybe its statement has nothing to do with GTA at all. Think about it, if you had message to spread, wouldn't you put it where people would see it, or at least be more likely to notice it?

It wouldn't have the same affect if just tagging a wall in an alley frequented by gangbangers. Also, you're probably less likely to be shot for tagging a billboard... and worse case senario, the author probably had rather risk a vandalism charge/lawsuit from the owners of the billboard, than risk his life by tagging in gang infested areas.

I'd like to pick up this short sighted logic and make a run with it:

   I propose that Nazi's are the most proficient video gamers in the history of video gaming. No one has killed as many people in as pointless a way as the Nazi's. Oh what? They didn't have videogames in 1940's? Don't bother me with your facts.

I kind of get the impression the artist is trying to say something, ANYTHING, that he feels is somehow "sticking it" to whoever "the man" is this month. Sometimes people are too busy trying to be some kind of revolutionist to take the time and decide what they're revolting against. They tend to be more self-righteous than they accuse the evils of the world to be. I'm not saying this because he wrote it on a GTA4 ad but because I really had no idea what he was stating until I read the link. Yes, American citizens kill each other more than law enforcement kills citizens. Yes, we have kill each other more than terrorism has in the last decade. How exactly is this new information? Spray painting a vague message on a billboard and hoping people connect the dots with your vague symbolism isn't how you create change. Get an education, get into politics, try to become a legitimate journalist, anything that involves more than pretending you're fighting some secret war that only you and your three blog readers know about.

A link I like to bring up when I see people talking about the odd disconnect between how much attention we pay to real problems vs high marquee ones:

www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/05/rare_risk_and_o_1.html

Capsule summary: people react more to unsual/rare risks then common ones, so thing that happen infrequently are elevated in the mind to 'real' problems while stuff that happens all the time is filtered out.

One way to interpert this is that ANYTHING that is talked about in the news is rare enough to not worry about since by being newsworthy is it not a real risk.

I dont trust the analysis of these statistics. Its coming just in time for it to be used by politicians and activists to get billions from the new Obama administration; they can argue that the lack of funding for government programs is the cause. In fact the lead researcher (Fox) has said that.. I think Ill wait to hear a more objective, less biased analysis of the numbers.

Whats odd though is that crime among all other groups (races) has dropped which should make it obvious that video games have nothing to do with it. This seems like a cheap shot at video games by this "artist" (he confuses his message by where he wrote it. Is he blaming video games or people themselves, you cant tell.) And the blogger is even worse. He bashes games too, then tries to spin these stats as a way to score political points about the Iraq War and the "War on Terror" Gimme a break.

thank you. Beatifull Archile !
