I don't have proof, but believe all the mass killings lately are caused by watching violent and bloody video games.guns have nothing to do with it,, .these real life killers even copy the game's choice of weapons generally.. they even dress the part with body armor and such .. OUTLAW VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES not guns..

You're joking, right?

Mike, I genuinely believe violent video games serve no purpose otherthan to gratify some sub-conscious level of blood lust that if not harnessed can lead to violent outbursts from people with unstable minds that includes but is not limited to aggressive behavior on other humans or animal abuse ..

Oh, I think that bloodlust is already there anyway.
Videogames ARE a healthy way to harness it.
It is better that they go apesh!t in a virtual world than the real one.
People need outlets for their aggression somewhere or they take it out on other people.

Think about the holodecks on Star Trek.
Isn't it better that people can indulge whatever sick fantasy in a holodeck than keep everything repressed & bottled-up and do sick things in the real world?
I'd rather have people do whatever they want in a fantasy world, if they maintained control in their real lives.

PAC MAN / ASTEROIDS are enough mental stimulation for crazy people to be playing , the government should at least spend a few million dollars researching the minds of juvenile males after a few years of bloodletting playing something that many can't separate from carrying out their fantasy into reality.. unstable people have no business splattering "enemies" guts on the floor when their mind can not differentiate and then want to do a live copy cat massacre....

People who are unable to differentiate reality from fantasy have always been with us and probably always will.
Those people can be set off by ANYTHING.
It could be the smell of someone's perfume or the color of their hair.
You cannot make everything "safe" for them.
It is f*cking impossible.

Well, I would say that it IS about culture and psychology.
That's the root of the problem.
I'm sure of that much.

exactly, much more to do with a culture and psychology, rather than a tool like a firearm.. anybody that can not see this is trying to avoid the real issues.. as mentioned before guns will always be available, just as liquor was in the Prohibition.. might have to pay a little more on the black market, but guns will still be available even if outlawed..

Yes, but, Ed Gein and Albert Fish never played videogames.
They were considered eccentric, but fairly normal, until it had been discovered what they had done.
Gein was a Mama's boy too.

You got to be shitting me. With all the people playing violent video games, I would estimate them in the millions, and add all the people watching violence on TV and in the movies, I assume that would make hundreds of millions more, and we can blame the violent acts of a handful of nut cases on this?

A handful of nuts each year commit violent crimes, you are so willing so banish the entertainment of so many for such lame reasoning?

How about teaching morality and responsibility to them instead? That is where the real problem lies.

You are aware that the killer's mom was going to have him committed because all he ever did was play video games, si?

This kid lived in a virtual reality of violence. Video games were the biggest contributor to pushing over his mental state.


Recognizing this, a seventh grade student from Newtown CT has now started a movement to ban video games

yes, I believe it has an impact on the people who are borderline insane, more to blame than guns themselves being the problem,.. do you remember a movie from the 1970's or earlier that can compare to the violence and gruesomeness of Grand Theft Auto? and that's a mild game compared to some? am I right? and these "gamers" do gaming for hours on end and some it's their whole life..it has to have an impact on an unstable person.. these violent video games are a relatively new phenomenon ....

Did you know that chess is a violent game? Oh yes... EVery time I play Chess, when I lose, I get angry and stomp all overthe little pieces ..then I attack my opponent, and strangle him in a headlock... while I yell "Check-What!? Check What!?..."

Maybe this generation is feeling the pain of hopelessness when the chances of self actualization are being stolen away by the ever increasing promises of a government that steals in the name of salvation.

Yeah. We should ban them.

We should forbid violence in movies.

We should stop the violence in recordings.

We should stop the violence in cartoons and every where we can regulate it.

Except from where it originates, and therefore it shall continue if the only song in the world was "Marry Had a Little Lamb, the only toy were Barby and Kens, and the only movie was Lassie.

But then, after that, we can kiss all those freedoms goodbye along with the good many we have already lost IN LIKE MANNER.

And then when all the BAD STUFF is gone

and the killing keeps on

maybe we should stop all foods suspected of making one violent.

And we should lock up any relatives that don't meet state approval for nurturing.

That'll stop the violence.

No wait a minute I forgot about people just plain pissing other people off.

Oh yeah, and the guy who lost his job and his home because of this regime

They might get angry and loose it. I think that did happen ONCE

Oh yeah. I almost forgot fits of passion and families breaking up. That wouldn't push anyone over the edge, ever.

Lawyers bleeding both parties dry as they pit one against another. Someone loosing everything he had, He wouldn't be mad at his meddling relatives and try to get even.

That would never happen. Oh wait a minute, I think I heard about something like that once before.

But banning violent video games is a start. A good start! A beginning.

And a superb start in banning freedom of expression.

Then what problem will they pull out of a hat, blow out of proportion, and give it the media blitz. Remember?

This is about one guy going crazy and doing what he did. It is being used as an opportunity to steal yet even more of our liberty and freedom. This isn't about guns. It's about the government making you defenseless.

And they want that so that they can go into full tyranny mode. But that would never happen.

Only so many many times in our past. But it happened to others. You remember hearing so much about it.

Oh yeah... the media was concerned about how fashionable the first lady was. I guess they just don't have the time for things like that going on around the world now and through out history.

They just don't have time for stories about things like that like that. Oh crap! Oh Crap !!

I just missed the piece about Justin Beiber on the evening news as I was typing this. Oh well.
