Very interesting, he sums up the whole "gameres are violent" crap brilliantly
A lot of what he says is the reason I don't watch/read the news (scaremongering
)

That is a nice article. Annoys me how easily people pick on something they don't understand rather than looking for the real cause.

Exactly. As he says, they're playing on peoples fear of new technology.

Alternatively, just visit Glasgow for that kind of behaviour.

No, no, Edinburgh is way too civilised for that! Well, depends where you go....where's he taking you (ok, that sounds like you are going on a date the two of you but you know what I mean!)
Ask him to take you to his home town.....that'll be an experience for you!

I'm going with a group of girls, one of whom is my girlfriend, so like any guy surrounded by girls and his girlfriend I have no free choice.
