Violence in Gaming Creating Violence is an Outdated Belief

Gamertag Radio writes: "I’ve been focusing my attention around the unfair label I am faced with of late. There have been so many shootings and bombings worldwide and in almost all instances, someone blames gaming.

Years ago, Penn & Teller came out with an episode on their show Bullshit covering the classical topic called “Do Video Games Make Our Children Act Out in a Violent Way.” If you haven’t seen it then I urge you to take a few moments out of your day and watch it on YouTube. When terrible things happen in life, it is way too easy for us to blame an outside source and not even consider a person’s state of mind. You do not blame an entire religion for the atrocity of a selected few and it is not in your right to blame a subculture that is populated by millions around the world for acts of violence."

Religion is pretty violent. Causing People blowing them selves up, causes some to want to have sexual relations with children. I wonder when the media will catch on and concerntrate on Religion.
