Call of Duty: Black Ops Now the Best Selling Video Game of All Time in US

It set the 24 hour sales record for any entertainment property ever with $360M, but Call of Duty: Black Ops has just shattered another record to land it the title as the best selling game of all time in the US.

There is a whole generation of American teenagers and young adults who are obsessed with this violent video game filth which glamorizes death, misery and destruction.

I took my sons copy and destroyed it. When he played it I could see a glazed, mesmerized, far away look in his eyes. Flicker Rate Hypnosis?

Kids are losing touch with reality.

I started your thread for you HERE.

It could go a hundred different directions, but maybe it will serve to pull some of the bickering out of this thread and focus on this specific incident, while discussing Guns and the US over there.

Thanks for the headsup on that article!

People need to fly from A to B.

People don't need to give money to Hoyts.

I see your agenda and raise you a loss of profits.

I think I know who to bet on...

I can't help but feel that this shooting, and the one that happened in that bar in Alabama a few days ago, and others, might have been carried out by sleeper agents.
Agents made and programed by our government, to carry out these gruesome acts.
Acts that are designed to put fear into the minds of the American public for their safety.
A fear that they hope will kick in and prompt the public into buying into and doing what the government ultimately wants and have been talking about for a few months now.

The outright ban of the right of the American citizen to own a firearm.

We have seen it over and over for the past decade. Our government is not afraid to break a few eggs in order to get the omelet they want. It's one big interlinked Psy-Op set upon the American public and the world, and it's working. Look at what they did on 9/11. The government did that to get what they wanted, and it worked.

A great man once said....
Anyone that would choose safety over freedom deserves nether.
I feel the same way..

Ha! That's retarded. The Tea Party doesn't go in blasting innocent civilians and I can't believe they would even insinuate this. Actually, I can. Get the Tea Party pissed off and people fighting about politics on top of everyone panicking about their safety. A wonderful maelstrom in the making.

We've already got everyone on the forum using this to try to push their pro/anti gun-control agenda.

report: suspect recently dropped out med school

www.huffingtonpost.com...

Spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery says 24-year-old James Holmes was a student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver until last month. She did not know when he started school or why he withdrew.

abcnews.go.com...

"The pictures we have from inside the apartment are pretty disturbing considering how elaborate the apartment is booby trapped," police said outside of the apartment complex today. The "flammable and explosive" materials could have blown up Holmes' apartment building and the ones near it, police said.

The apartment complex is home exclusively to University of Colorado Medical Center students, patients, and staff members, residents tell ABC News.

They said the same thing about Ozzy Osbourne and now his music is being used for family car commercials.

This place is a joke. So many insinuating "well, if someone had been a C/C fewer would have died." BS. It was a dark, smokey theater. I can imagine a few of you knuckleheads trying to play cop in there & far more would have died in the crossfire. Just like in a bank robbery... Very few actually turn into a shooting. But one of you bozo's pulls your weapon to play hero & people would end up dying. The love of guns in the US is beyond disturbing. More guns = More violence. FACT. The NRA is a money making machine for themselves & gun manufactures & could care less about the loss of human life. FACT. Get a more constructive hobby.

No, you’re wrong. For those that have been around guns our whole lives and use them often would not hesitate to take this punk down once the lead starts flying. Maybe crawling up into the fetal position, rocking back and forth, when something bad is happening around you might be your reaction, but I assure you, it would not be mine and many other open carry law abiding citizens reactions. The nut case would have hit the ground in seconds flat!

A person who lives in a country that allows the freedom to go to a movie when ever you want to, we do not know the 3 month olds sleep cycle and what difference does it make when a family goes to a movie?

The guilt is upon the guilty not a family for choosing a movie time YOU find illogical. It is not the parents fault a shooter tear gased their child, it is the shooters fault.

God Bless,

This person is assuming that these people just bought their firearm yesterday.

So the crux of your argument is, the government will now be forcing citizens to watch rubbish movies in the theatre. Where they will be forced to be strip searched, scanned, groped and manhandled by greasy hairy thugs in a blue uniform, and this is all due to a nutter who snuck guns in the back door after entering the premises legally, with a valid purchased ticket, and no weapons on his person.

He snuck them in the back door once he was in.

And this is what you're arguing?



I think the batman people should be looking to ATS for scripts.. this is gold!

Well let's hope he wasn't an ATS member ,Jared Lee Loughner was.
Just crossed my mind.

Now everyones going to see this movies just because 10 people got shot opening night,

what a way to boost ticket sales

no offance but i dont think this sounds to innocent, random, or of public making

Never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.

Forget the injured and dead. Smear your political adversaries.

Get out the silly putty.

CNN saying amongst the injured/casualties are members of the U.S MILITARY. Hhhmmmm....I think they are trying to say this guy targeted these peeps?? How could he see in the dark??? This was just released

I wonder if he just lost it or if there is more to it? It sounds as if his Mom had at least some indication...schizophrenia usually has an on set from age 15 through 25.

Just confirmed: TEN dead

this is just... horrible. Can't even watch a movie without worrying about getting shot up.

Horrible/tragic story for sure.

I do hope that before people applaud the forfeiting of more of their rights in response to this "domestic terrorism", they consider math first.

This was 10 people dead. A horrible loss no doubt -- I'm not downplaying it.

Are you sure it's 10.....and not 11? I mean, it was in theater 9. And, the last report i got...was 12. So, you got a report saying 10 dead, i see the report saying 12 dead. Hmmmmmm....what number goes in between 10 and 12???? hahahahahah

Also....that gunman had some pretty bad aim. He ONLY killed 10 - 12 people....in a packed movie theatre???

Maybe, Theater 9 was having it's own stage play. Hey, ya never know, and we shouldn't be so gullable to believe everything we see. Not all that glitters is gold....and i wouldn't put it past TPTB to stage something like this. Not during these crazy times. Desperate times calls for desperate measures....and our government, is getting pretty desperate.
