violent people tend to play games BUT ITS DEFINITELY NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND..... there are billions of gamers out there and its only stupid to blame all the worlds crime originating though gaems
We all know it. They just don't want to admit it because they're making money off doing something that's allowing crazies to kill people. The only thing video games are guilty of is making people sink large amounts of time into not going outside and raising hell with all the bullshit going on right now.
Whole article is pointless because I DARE THEM TO SCREW WITH OUR GAMES. They'd make things 10x worse because you'd have more people out on the streets protesting freaking everything they are getting away with.
So they will just continue to use videogames as a scapegoat while ignoring movies and t.v. I love how a deep/fun game like Dragon's Crown gets criticized heavily by the media for its artwork yet we can have dumb sluts like hanna montanna whore out on public television and get showered in phony congratulations.
First off when you have a 8 year old kill his grandma I think the real question should be why the hell does an 8 year old have access to a firearm. My second question would be: how did a background check stop this type of incident?
C0mmon sense would say that gun owners should be required to PROVE they have an adequate way to LOCK UP their firearms so that they can't fall into the hands of those who did not purchase them. DEEET DEEE DEEE.
Gangs. Drugs. Bad parenting. Lack of understanding. Bad social influences. Bad lifestyles. Not seeking help for issues. Not seeking help for others' issues. Bullying. Not seeking help for those bullied and the bullies, themselves. Abuse. (Verbal and physical)
Not issues:
Movies. Books. Music. Video Games. Sports. (Hockey, Football, and Rugby are all incredibly violent.)
Pretty much. It's easier to cause a moral panic from something unrelated than it is to actually get to the core of the problem.
Every generation has had it's favourite form of entertainment used as a scapegoat at some point. It's all just history repeating itself, old scared conservative people afraid of something they don't understand and linking it to atrocities.
Don't want to bore people by going in to detail or listing every modern moral panic but for some quick reading there's a brief bit on Moral Panics here http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
People always look for a excuse rather looking at the bigger picture...why are games to blame all the time? i only have to turn on the tv and you guarentee there is somethign on where a murder has taken place or guns are being showing and this is even before the watershed etc.
People who tend to kill have psychological problems...not because games make you want to kill....there are millions of gamers in the world therefore if games like gta where turning people into killers there would be hell of lot more people dead in the world...
how about countries/governments make it harder to get firearms etc instead of blaming games because it is easier.
We don't take kindly to irish stereotypes round nyhaaaar!
And everyone knows a true celtic warrior in this day and age is a Garda with a segway and a baton, maybe some pepper spray if he's risen through the ranks?
It's such an immature argument to make in the first place.
When is ONE single variable ever a root cause for any behavior? You know what I mean? The human mind can be so complex when trying to reverse engineer someone's motives.
Not the fault of video games, movies, or music either.
The fault is of the culture itself and the parents who bring their children into a violent world without properly teaching them how to navigate that world in a civilized, peaceful fashion.
Someone should find out what games they were playing during the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition... and pretty much all of the B.C. years so we can know which company to point the finger at.
"Crazy" doesnt exist anymore...people who rape,steal,murder and commit other crimes who played videogames was influenced because they are crazy,I would spend hours on end killing and stealing on gta and hey im normal,and the law of under ten is crap,they shoulf send that child to a mental institution for a year or two because he is probably traumatized,whats this world coming to...

They became BRUTISH MONSTERS, Killing machines, they pillaged and raped villages because of violent games.
Maybe 10 did.
You don't change the rules for the dumb 1% who can't seem to do anything right and are basically useless people.
You educate the dumb and bring them up to speed, you don't dumb down everyone else.

No gun should be within 5 miles of any child!

One thing that I find really cool is how Vita owners are excited about Killzone Mercenary and Tearaway at the same time.
One has brutal melee kills and the other is super-cute!
