What Tartan_Ninja says is true (damn it, didn't there use to be a "quote" button on here? I don't know shit about HTML). But it's not hard for kids to get hold of games without their parents' consent (through friends etc), and I think STUDIES HAVE SHOWN* a strong correlation between playing violent games and violent, disruptive real-world behaviour (maybe not mass shootings, but still). I definitely feel more aggressive after I've played something like Condemned 2 for a while, and it scares me a bit.

Indeed, especially if the medium is new. Video games only entered the mainstream in the late 70's/early 80's and a lot of people have never touched a single game (other than solitaire) in their life. 30 years after the introduction of television many people were also still seeing it as a brainwash device for children.Yooz said:

IMO less about games and more about people's need to ***** ***** *****. No matter where you look someone is whining about something someone did or blah blah! Look! I'm doing it now!!!

There are six more that come right after that one you should read.
That was so ignorant and stupid, I think I'm actually stupider for having read it.bernthalbob616 said:
Yes I notice them. I still find it really ironic that Germany's trying to start a ban by explaining that almost all violent crimes over there were in some way caused by videogames, even though the Nazis were around way before them...
Yes apparently more people get killed every year because of videogames, it's surely not television or lifestyles or family problems or work or school or war OH NO IT'S NEVER THEM AT ALL.
Even if some killer played like 10 minutes of Gears of War 2 in a store, the media is going to go all over THAT SPECIFIC DETAIL and somehow blame that even if say the killer had clear evidence of premeditated murder like an hour beforehand.
And the worst part of it, is the people who BELIEVE that shit. Who actually think that videogames are some sort of hypnosis tool that's been around for a quarter of the century FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of causing violence.
If that was the case, why not make a movie for less value, like Scarface encouraging you to gun down people and snort half of the world's cocaine?

Exactly! People will balme anything on the fact that they can't/don't/hate to spend time with there own children. The T.V is not a babysitter. As to inspiring violence, no just no. Power rangers may have made me run around the living room pretending to transform and play-fighting my friends, but it was distinct from reality. After playing Jason Storm (hehe see how many remember him) I didn't think that lazer wounds could actually be healed via a tasty hamburger. The real pychopaths, truly mental people who do go on killing sprees, they didn't need games/T.V/insert recent cultural phenomenon here, to go ballistic or direct their madness. These people should stop attacking their cyber-babysitting devices and evaluate their own parenting skills.Tartan_Ninja said:
