Violent Video Games

[SLCentral]

Once again, the media is telling us how horrible video games (specifically GTA3) is for teenagers. What a bunch of crap...

Too busy watching the Austin Powers movies on TBS.

I don't care if you are only 9 years old when you commit murder, the death penalty should apply. :disgust:

Sorry, wasn't paying attention...I was out beating people up for their cars.

Oh wait, I have common sense.

Isn't this one like 3 or 4 years old?

It is much easier to blame a Video Game than it is bad parenting.

I was just playing some Half Life. Quick, someone stop me before I open a portal and let armies of headcrabs into the world!

Doesn't apply to Majority of kids. But I'm sure it can have some effects on a few impressionable kids.

I've been playing video games since I was 4, and I've gone on very few killing sprees. Annually at most.

 

[Wadded Beef]

if they want to ban things based on real stats they ought to do this...
BAN MULLETS.
Ever watch cops? I don't know the exact figures but a good majority of the white guys being arrested are sporting a mullet.

I concur, though I'm in no position to say that myself. (I'm 14.)

It's easy to find others' faults (media), but impossible to see your own (parenting, lack of common sense).
