Videogame Violence!

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

I found this on a web comic site, wow...just wow, now the media's going to pursue the "videogames cause violence" angle all over again.



I'm sorry, this is bull****.

[Happydude]

nah, i dont think they're going to go back to the whole video game violence thing again because i think the whole thing was over the theft itself and not the things stolen, besides the guy allready had asualt charges and stuff...either way, this is just stupid...and where the hell did the teenagers come into all this...who the hell would say "yeah i don't mind killing people for no reason"

[Canyarion]

Pffffff do we have to kill people these days when they steal something?

but seriously, the entire thing is blown outta porportion, happydude's right, its not the console thats to blame its the guy himself, but the media makes more publicity if they use the violence angle. And then all the retarded people who believe everything they see on tv start raging on about violent videogames.

What exacty is blown out of proportion here? I read the article, and at no point does it even come close to insinuating that playing video games in any way caused this. Sure it mentions the Xbox as one of the possessions stolen, but it never claims that this man chose to kill this person because his mind was warped by the videogames that he played...

Yeah, this all leads back to a very sad argument is it the gun or the person that killed him.. It was obviously the gun but who pulled the trigger.. It's all because of the degrigation of today's society. I mean if you look people are more about having "things" then they are about social interaction. I feel bad for tomorrow's youth because I mean they are going to get to a point like in the movie silvester stalloone ( can't spell his name nor do I care to google search it) and sandra bullock.. (want to touch the heiny) where people don't have sex anymore they just have the cyber version and then have test tube babies where is the fun in that ? again I feel bad for tomorrows youth.

If someone stole my videogames I might fly off and kill 6 people too. In fact I probably would.
