  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

As much as I hate to admit it, Maher makes a great point, and one that needed to be made.
He didn't go so far as touching on the first-person shooter video games out there, but those are just games, right?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, if one spends decades extensively advertising for something, one will eventually get more of it.  Hollywood and the gaming industry have been extensively advertising for violence as a means of solving every problem for decades.

Maher, the boring windbag that he is, who really listens to anything this fool says?  He was once a comedian, funny, and now, he has overstayed his welcome, is never funny, and is a political hack!  Maher is an idiot, and I would tell him so if we were dining together.  His beliefs are part of the liberal lunatic insane.
