House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday pushed back against the argument that violent video games are responsible for mass shootings in the United States, pointing to other countries where similar games are played but rates of shooting deaths are low.
Well hey, someone over there seems to get it.
Title is a complete misquote. She said games may not be the cause, but still wants to study them.
""As part of your plan, you call for more scientific research on the connection between popular culture and violence. We don't need another study, respectfully," said Wallace. "I mean, we know that these video games, where people have their heads splattered, these movies, these TV shows -- why don't you go to your friends in Hollywood and challenge them? Shame them, and say, 'Knock it off?'"
Pelosi responded that Democrats wanted concrete scientific evidence in order to write the best legislation possible, and countered that Wallace's assumption about violence in the media could be incorrect. "
For once, I agree with Mrs. Pelosi
Remember the days when videogames didn't exist and the world was at peace? It wasn't only until videogames appeared when the Percian War, French Revolution, American Revolution and World War 1 & 2 happened.
Pelosi 2016? No? Too soon? Ok.
