hopes

My hope for my country is that we become a more safe group of individuals. The shootings that have been going on in the news lately have been showing that people all over the country are killing others for some unknown reason. Killing others is a rather messed up thing to do. If you want to kill yourself because you don't love how your life has turned out well then that is fine, but you don't have to kill others in the process of killing yourself. If you started to kill other people 99.99% of the time you will not survive the shooting. I think there is some blame on how video games present killing to the people that buys the games. Seventeen years is a long time that you have to wait to be able to purchase a rated M game, but not all seventeen year old guys are ready for it. A lot of them find pleasure when killing others and the next step after killing people in a game is to kill people in real life. Media portrays violence as something that its not, killing others is a lot worse than movies make it out to be. In the real world the main character doesn't have the ability to take a large number of shoots to themselves without  a fatal outcome. In most cases they would end up in morgue.
