Video Games Don't Kill, People do

Finally an article that tells it right.

Videogames do cause violence and crime! Sometimes, people get robbed for their videogames and consoles!

Videogames are so awesome, people who can't afford them mug and rob for them

yes, but nuclear weapons don't kill people, people do and yet not every one should have them

yet you can't deny the fact there are those with weaker constitutions that become influenced by what they see and hear. Personal responsibility has become an urban legend it would seem.

Now....technically, there have been a few games that have killed people but not in a violent way. Some have died from the effects of having a seizure or heart attack from over exertion or exposure. Still, that is personal responsibility as they were the ones to push themselves to play. These cases are much smaller than the "the video game made me do it" ones.

I speak from experience about having a seizure while playing and found myself awakened in a hospital room. Scared the crap out of my wife and son when it happened.

I wouldn't say they kill people but they do have the power to carry the wrong messages especially to kids....I'll say that at times people can get bad ideas from video games just like in any other sort of entertainment like for example movies,tv shows etc.
