I totally agree but we are short in number 

People may apply to become Mods at any time they meet the criteria.

Actively recruiting people has proven to, more often than not, be a bad idea. There is a post, (Moderator's Oath I believe), that elaborates on the prerequisites and duties of the position. Also, any interested parties may also ask any staff that are current at that time; especially myself or Loki, since all applications will come to me or Loki anyway.

 First video game I ever played was Super Mario Bros... and I can remember playing for hours and hours on end. When I'd quit, I actually did have trouble adjusting back to reality. I kept wanting to jump on ppl's heads to get rid of them! 

 More seriously though, I think it's a general weakness, physically and mentally, that causes people to do stupid things like that. I play violent video games, love them in fact, and I have no desire... well, wait.. that's a lie... Sometimes I think about shooting someone (like some of the ppl that have abused me thru my life) but I would never actually do it. I think it falls back on parents today. They don't instill a solid set of morals in their children. Children are innocent and should be protected and kept that way. Introducing them to those violent video games too early could seriously damage their perceptions and cause them to act out in a bad way. (shootings at school, bullying in school, or just being a jacka** online) My grandparents raised me, my father raised 2 of my 1/2 brothers, and my mother raised one 1/2 brother and one 1/2 sister. Of the five of us, three turned out (and are turning out) as decent individuals that do/did well in school, don't cause or get into any trouble. The other two have both been in jail at least once and both have children. They're both under 21 also; so mere children themselves. It's the parenting. I could have turned out like that; that could be me with a kid on my hip and another on the way, but my grandparents would have beat me purple if I would have pulled some of the behavior that led to getting in trouble and jail time. Same with my dad and the two he has now. He'd beat those boys black and blue if they ever tried that. But my mother had other things that she put first, and put her kids last. There's the difference.

You cannot blame society for personal choice.  We begin to make choices at a very young age.  Why some people make bad choices and some make good is unknown.....just like the example of kids from the same family turning out so different.  They are raised the same by the same parents and some see jail time and others are good upstanding citizens..  Personal choice my friends.  Don"t blame your choice on someone else.

        Violent videogames and movies can affect someone's mental health but I hardly think it can't even be half the main cause, it is mainly the education and social life the kid has, along with psychological problems due to many things (major depression, any other mental illness you'd like to include here). And on some cases a person's belief can interfere with their choices, regardless to the 50-50 chance of a kid to become a criminal if they dedicated a part of their childhood to some type of religion that can prevent them of taking the wrong path. Taking me for example, the first time I touched a bible was when I was turning 12 and I didn't even knew or cared who g-d or Jesus was, so I suffered prejudice from my peers and I eventually felt guilty - they believed that by my lifestyle I was likely to become a bad girl... but things have not been what they seem to be - on the contrary of everyone's guess, I didn't choose THAT path yet many others had seemed less likely to did choose to ruin themselves.
         Compared to criminals that had many opportunities at childhood learning, they have their own definition on what to consider "bad" and what they think is "the right thing." Observing one's behavior, you might notice that sometimes children would like to do exactly what they were forbidden to do, ignoring what could be "the right thing" entirely and depending on their personality one part of them enjoys being rebellious and doing what are not suppose to do and another percentage will be pressured by the society. I mean, what do you think was inside their minds when they had decided to shoot everyone up? Was it for fun, or they hated everyone's guts? All I know is they don't give a damn of what happens to them, sometimes it might be suicidal behavior. Movies, games, TV might at some point encourage the little ones to commit crimes, being the source of the ideas, but it isn't where it all starts.
