No...not bullshit. What's bullshit is you being asked to point out specific errors, but refusing to do it. What's bullshit is you getting all butthurt because somebody speaks out against the video games you beat off to. Grossman's lecture is given based on scholarship and research. Your nonsense is based off years in your moms basement playing Halo in your underwear. You're an idiot.

Grossman is by far the most respected and popular trainer of this stuff in the world. Pinker is quite good, but to reccomend him over Grossman shows a lack of acceptance of reality.

LOL WUT? while I agree with Lt. Col. Grossman's mindset initiatives, his ability to "see the future" as it were is absolutely terrible and beyond misguided/stupid, aggravated assault's have been DROPPING for 7 consecutive years, so much for his prognostication. While he brilliantly understands tactics and mindset impeccably, his inability to understand that exceptions are NOT the norm is quite troubling, as is his beyond ignorant statements on the the topic of video games are concerned.

@shawnjohn0369 he doesn't push fear. He pushes the fact that there are people out there who want to kill you. Just because you feel safe doesn't mean you are. And if you feel scared because of that, he teaches you how to overcome it.

@zeldadog76901 I wasnt asking for an apology. I expressed my point, as far as religion is concerned.

[zeldadog76901]

@disciple68 This isn't a religion thing, I just wanted to express my profound respect for Lt. Col. David Grossman and I thought that it was an appropriate parallel. All the same, I'm not about to profess faith in something that I don't believe in. My apologies if the disclaimer bothered you.

Well, not really an apology, because I don't care...I just don't have a better way to express my sincere gratitude for Grossman's work.

[disciple68]

@zeldadog76901 While I agree with you about Dave Grossman I don't think this is an appropriate venue for your Atheist ideas, with which I heartily disagree. What does that have to do with the subject matter?

[zeldadog76901]

This man is not about fear. He is about UNDERSTANDING it. Just like Richard Dawkins doesn't teach you how to evolve, rather he teaches understanding of evolution.

David Grossman is one of the men who opened my eyes to intellectually understanding killing and fear and human behavior without having to put myself in the situations that he has been in.

If I believed in a god, I'd ask him to bless this man. Thank god for David Grossman.

@shawnjohn0369 He is not asking you to live in fear, he is asking the people that protect you to be ready and how to be ready when the time comes that there are people that try to hurt you. If you think that all is well in the world and violance will never be in your life you are in denial my friend and you and nothing more then the sheep he talks about.

I just watched this man speak to hundreds of highly educated officers and they all seemed awe struck by this man's words. I'm surprised that some of these officers didn't find him a bit odd or off topic . His facial gestures suggest unstable behavior and possibly mental instability. I hope I wasn't the only one who caught that tonight.

[shawnjohn0369]

This guy pushes fear he wants people to think that the alCIAda is under your bed at night. Dont live in fear.

@OhTaxGuy your right! Video games are used by corporations, law enforcement and military in every aspect of simulation training. They are a PROVEN means of training a person to fly a plane, drive a tank, or kill another person with a rifle,knife etc. The fact that kids are now playing VERY realistic sim games that embrace combat and tactical situations is real and can not be overlooked. People often tell kids that Call of Duty is not teaching them shit but the Army even disagrees on that one!
