I think most of you heard about the shooting incident in Germany by a 17-year old teenager.
You can read the whole story here.

Yesterday evening I watched a discussion on TV about this tragedy and like always after such incidents, the issue of shoot-‘em-ups (like Counterstrike) raised.
One person in this discussion said: “These kind of games are matter of taste.”

But I got stuck with the question: Why would someone actually play these kind of games?

I estimate that about 90% of the people who will read this already played such a game or at least know such games. I am no exception. But as I mentioned, I was pondering about why somebody would buy a game with the aim to kill people.
Ok, it isn’t real. You really don’t kill anybody. It is a virtual reality. But through these games a murder is simulated because the game is a simulation. We say: ”War is such a terrible thing.” But war games like ‘Call of Duty’ are fun, because they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality seems to be a cool thing – You as the protagonist can do things that you would never do in reality – leaving your morality behind.

Games simulating war, simulating bloodshed, are considered to be entertainment.

But still: Why are people enjoying the simulated act of killing others?
Does it come from the satisfaction to decide over life and death? Meaning, is pleasure felt when someone presses a button and a virtual bullet hits a virtual head? Because now the player feels more powerful or mightier.
But is this sane?

A Quote comes to mind:

"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it."
Mark Twain

Let's start with Prince Philip of England, it seems he has to say a lot about this subject:

"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."

"I don't claim to have any special interest in natural history, but as a boy I was made aware of the annual fluctuations in the number of game animals and the need to adjust the "cull'' to the size of the surplus population."

"For example, the World Health Organization Project, designed to eradicate malaria from Sri Lanka in the postwar years, achieved its purpose. But the problem today is that Sri Lanka must feed three times as many mouths, find three times as many jobs, provide three times the housing, energy, schools, hospitals and land for settlement in order to maintain the same standards. Little wonder the natural environment and wildlife in Sri Lanka has suffered. The fact [is] ... that the best-intentioned aid programs are at least partially responsible for the problems."

"What has been described as the "balance of nature'' is simply nature's system of self-limitation. Fertility and breeding success create the surpluses after allowing for the replacement of the losses. Predation, climatic variation, disease, starvation--and in the case of the inappropriately named Homo sapiens, wars and terrorism--are the principal means by which population numbers are kept under some sort of control."

"I suspect that the single most important gift of progress to conservation has been the development of human contraception techniques."

"So long as they [birth control methods] ... remained taboo subjects the chances of making any impression on the human population explosion were that much more remote."


Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the UN Earth Summit, June 1992:

“Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialised civilisations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?”


Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, 1953:

“At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars…. War … has hitherto been disappointing in this respect … but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full…. The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other peoples'….”


Dr John Reid speaking with Robyn Williams on ABC radio, 10 December, 2006:

"One human way to reduce the population might be to put something in the water, a virus that would be specific to the human reproductive system and would make a substantial proportion of the population infertile. Perhaps a virus that would knock out the genes that produce certain hormones necessary for conception. ... A triage approach will be necessary so that scarce medical resources go to those who can contribute most to the long-term viability of the planet. Consequently, many middle-aged-to-elderly people will die uncomfortable deaths. Not every problem is solvable."


Jacques Cousteau(Co-recipient in 1977 of the International Environmental Prize awarded by the United Nations for outstanding contributions in the field of the environment),quoted from UNESCO Courier, November 1991:

“This is a terrible thing to say. In order to stabilize world populations, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it.”


David Brower, first executive director of the Sierra Club; founder of Friends of the Earth; and founder of the Earth Island Institute:

“Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. …All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.”


John Davis, editor of, Earth First! Journal:

“I suspect that eradicating small pox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems.”


Dr Lyall Watson, anthropologist, Commissioner for the International Whaling Commission, as quoted in the Financial Times, 15 July 1995:

"[Cannibalism is a] “radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation."


Dr Lamont Cole, Professor of Ecology, Cornell University, as quoted by Elizabeth Whelan in her book, Toxic Terror:

“To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population problem.”


Merton Lambert, former spokesman for the Rockefeller Foundation, quoted from Harpeth Journal, Dec. 18, 1962:

“The world has cancer, and that cancer is man.”

For those of you who still believe in global warming: I encourage you to watch this docu, which was broadcast in 1990(!). Almost 20 years later the debate is still going on and children are learning about the big problem of "global warming" in schools. Well, for some there isn't even a debate about it.

Detailed description:

"This documentary is a good companion to the latest documentary,"The Great Global Warming Swindle" recently shown on CH 4 UK and is available on Google video. The hoax of Global Warming / Green House was exposed 17 years ago by CH 4 UK in this documentary entitled Green House Conspiracy. Those who subscribe to the rubbish trotted out by Al Gore and his mindless followers are not new they were the same arse clowns who were telling us we were all going to freeze to death 30 years ago."
