Swedish Study Says Videogames Do Not Cause Aggression

Excellent! Now I've got to show this to my Social Psychology teacher....

Hahahahahahhaha. Did you just spend half an hour writing that up?

I always love when people try and mock me for writing longer-than-average posts in short periods of time. It reminds me of how good I am at writing when people exclaim "There's no way you could have done this in less than X amount of time!"

Yes, I did think you took those two completely at random. I got a few reason as to why such an anology is silly stillo, but I CBA to write half a thesis-paper on a forum.

Oh, yes, "half a thesis-paper." Let's see what Microsoft Word says about the length...apparently, I wrote 353 words, which to you is "half a thesis-paper." Boy, are you in for a rude surprise when you get to university.

Also, love the rebuttal: it takes a certain something to think yourself victorious when you only respond with "I have plenty of counter-arguments, but I'm not going to write any of them."

Did you think I honestly would, or do you just want to flaunt your preceived intellectual superiority by posting an overly long explanation that is mostly beside the point?

Actually, I was wondering that same thing. Did you actually expect me to respond? Because your post is practically screaming "Oh God, I'm in over my head. Damage control!" The only thing left is for you to try and nervously deliver a "Yeah, and don't come back!" line in the hopes that I'll wander off on my own volition and you can delude yourself into counting this is as a victory.

Still, don't even answer. Have a nice day.

Ah, nevermind. There it is.

I thought that was common knowledge. It is to me

Recently on TV I saw an interview with an old media celebrity (I can't remember exactly who now, but I can remember being surprised that this was coming from their mouth) and even they said something to the extent of "...and then I go play a couple rounds of Modern Warfare to get rid of some of that aggression...".

If anything I think (and always have) that violent video games can be a great outlet.
Taking it out on virtual entities is always better than taking out on your real immediate environment.
