Dont get me wrong, i disagree with 95% of the stuff said in these vids.
There is truth behind some of this. If you start playing gta-like games at 2 years old....there are psychological effects. The thing is....this is with ALL media. It really just comes down to the parents.
I just cant believe that jack thompson still gets on tv like this.
Seriously i could write a novel on this but I'm not going to waste my time. I still have yet to see how a controller can prepare someone for handling a real gun...Training simulators my fucking ass...
Well i guess since i have played Mortal Kombat for so long instead of shooting up people I'm going to end up ripping someones head off...
yeah it doesn't make sense, but until you can get yourself on a news show to the guy up, you won't be heard. Its sad, but there is nothing you can really do. I wonder how many people that commit crimes have actually played video games anyways. Gang members don't bother with that shit, poor people stealing cars don't care. The people that shoot others are either crazy, or were bullied around. The music they listen to and the games they play are just a consequence of their upbringing and being a kid in this generation. You know why I listen to rock music, b/c my parents did. Metal just came out of that, but I'm not going to kill anyone. But hey, its just preaching to the choir anyways. There are so many arguments against this stuff but I would rather not waste my breath.

That's the thing. They are fighting against the games which aren't the problems, the shitty parents are and they just don't want to admit blame so they shift it to the games which are intended for adults.
I laughed when he said "killing isn't a natural human instinct" but we have had wars since the beginning of man I didn't get that statement. The game is also not a training simulator or anything like that. Then they mention Counter-Strike its like wow they are just gonna use any and every excuse. I also agree with you darkwill his words are probably just as harmful.

haha, counter strike. definitely a training simulator. I always run around with my deer rifle randomly jumping and scoping in repeatedly while nervously switching b/w my rifle and sidearm.
