Yes, and it was a very peaceful sabbatical. I think I may have been suffering from "acute far left political views overdose", but I can't say for sure.
Moving on, I gave you a summary "like" on your prior post, as it's always enjoyable to hear what someone as long winded as myself, has to say.
If I may, I'd like to add a few points to the discussion.
1: Having lived through it sometime in the middle ages, I can categorically state, "puberty is a b!tch"!
2: The entertainment industry has become quite a bit more adept at portraying ultra-violence realistically.
3: Most violent themes conceptually place it incumbent upon the righteous but oppressed, to use massive amounts of violence in the effort toward good triumphing over evil. The message is, "might makes right", but only the good should be allowed to wield conquering power. Well, "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely", and we can't really have it both ways, now can we?
As antithesis to your absolution of guilt from parents with regard to them not being responsible for how a child turns out, I give you this turd:

A 3rd (minimum) generation dictator, overly pampered,and raised to believe his power is absolute, along with a well nurtured and even encouraged desire to rule the world, has resulted in a true sociopath with paranoid delusions of godhood. And yes, it's absolutely the parents fault!
Going back to topic, I'm of the opinion mom planted the drugs in the game, for future financial gain via litigation.
If that isn't the case, then Game Stop has a nationwide network of the worst, most vengeful, dissatisfied employees, which they need to purge in a big, big, hurry.
