Yes, I know I sholdn't have replied.
No, I don't he's being serious.
Yes, I am aware that I am encouraging this kind of foolishness.
No, I don't really care - cretins (I mean that in it's technical 
capacity...) deserve socialization too.
Yes, I am including myself in that last statement.
No, This post isn't just a big Yes/No tirade.
Yes, I do intend to start the actual post soon. Right now, in fact:

>> Doom is a game that created a wave of violence, turned kids into
>> serial killers and raised the number of murders worldwide.

No, what you're talking about here is called 'mental instability', or 
'anti-social pathology' - I think you'll find that's the purview of 
religious/social fanatics and undisciplined authorities. Or both.

Doom is an entertainment software apllication that helped popularize First 
Person Shooters, and is responsible only for awesomeness.
And maybe the term 'Deathmatch'? Not sure.

If the graphics from Doom or DoomII have ever inspired anything, it was the 
inclusion of true 3D models and level architechture in modern games. And the 
Doom novels, of course. And the recent movie.

>> Most kids who enjoyed to play Doom in the 90s are now murderers,
>> rapists and cannibals who may be in YOUR house right now, ready
>> to eat your ass!!!

I don't own any livestock (including donkeys) so I guess I'm safe.

Most kids who DID ANYTHING AT ALL in the 90s are now mostly bored (NOT 
pyschotic) workers, with the occasional hobby geek, or hardcore gamer. The 
90s really was quite lame. I state from experience that the 90s felt like it 
was just the tail end of the 80s. The only real difference was the amount of 
hairspray.

Where the hell did you get your statistics? Well, at least you used the 
correct YOUR, I suppose. Which is, for some reason, more distressing than 
your actual premise.

>> Doom should be outlawed worldwide and all data destroyed, or the
>> world will become a living hell!!!

No, idiotic, unserious 
trying-so-damn-hard-to-be-shocking-that-they-are-just-funny-really-lamers 
should be outlawed and destroyed worldwide. Yes, that includes me. However, 
seeing as I will no doubt eventually die naturally, I'm just going to "wait 
it out".

Re: Living hell: Waaaaaay too late. For instance: Have you bought fuel (FOR 
ANYTHING AT ALL) recently? I can see Mad Max on the horizon...

Sigh.
