Killer video games

[HoughMade]

I will not play violent video games and will not allow my kids to do so.

....but it's not because I think they'll go out and start killing people.

From the replies I read. Every game player is totally responsible person.
Then Every gun owner must be just as responsible.
Every car owner is totally responsible drivers and would never drive the wrong way on an Expressway.

So what's your argument here? A small subset of each of those categories is irresponsible. You started the thread and simplified the problem to video games. Now you need to backup your statement. Go ahead and take your time. We'll wait.

Not every gun owner is responsible. Perhaps I'll make the claim that it's the gun's fault they do bad things.

You'd want evidence if I said that, right?

I have done unspeakable things in GTA involving hookers and baseball bats. I have rescued tons of hostages after wiping out groups of terrorists in CS. I have ran 4KM and killed a bunch of people along the way in Pubg. But then there is real life. Hookers are too expensive, so I can't do the first thing. I'm not a SEAL so I'm not rescuing any hostages. 4km run? My fat a** can barely run 400 meters without wanting to die. Games are just games.

Ahhh yes, video games... nothing more realistic than flying a helicopter into a battle, parachuting out to jump in a tank, hopping out to repair it before abandoning it to use your sniper rifle

Just another day in the Michigan Army National Guard circa 1991.

I have countless hours in the Fallout series and Skyrim with probably thousands of kills. I'm 32 been playing violent games since 10 and still haven't gone on a spree. My parents raised me to know the difference between real and not real.

BF4 servers are still kickin hard, my gamertag is ChubbyRaptor if you ever wanna jump.

After playing Pac-Man, I did start eating a crap ton of cheese balls and running from ghosts. Soooo yes.... violent video games can create killers.

 

[Double T]

I play ALL of the video games you're mentioning, AND I have access to firearms. I wonder why I'm not killing anyone or going on a shooting spree? I've been playing them since I can remember. The point is invalid by my example, and I'm sure a plethora of others.

Wow. I haven’t read anything this pointless and idiotic in ages. Can someone pass the popcorn?

You need to spend more time on INGO.

Many members of Team Miguel play Destiny.

So far, we have not off'ed anyone for real. <fingers crossed>

Oh I spend plenty of time here. But not to this level.

No evidence to support link between violent video games and behaviour - University of York

However, there are plenty of studies that show the good things from gaming... such as improving cognitive functions, hand/eye coordination, decision making skills, teamwork...
