    lol, so you won't be bothered to go hijack cars if you're too busy playing Grand Theft Auto...
    But it does make sense. if people have violent tendencies, maybe getting their frustrations out in games means they don't go do something violent in real life, and I'm sure we all know how much time gaming can suck up, so who has time to play and join a gang as well? Rather join a clan and pwn some noobs

    Yup. Now we should get Bheki Cele to distribute some consoles to lower income communities with some solid ADSL connections, and you'll be able to sleep with open doors at night (not implying that crime just comes from lower income communities)
    That's what she said.

    "Increase in legal abortion in the 70’s lead to less poverty stricken young adults"

    that accounts for the most part.
