[quote:Anonymous Coward 22411639:MV8yMDg0NDM0XzM1MTAwNjMyXzhCNTIyNUU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26976120:MV8yMDg0NDM0XzM1MDk5MjM2XzMwNzJCNzdD] [quote:Omniscient1:MV8yMDg0NDM0XzM1MDk2OTAyXzQ4MDRERjEx] Pin this shit. [/quote] No it is a stupid and meaningless point pushed on the world from the world of undercover gun-nuts looking to obfuscate an issue enough that the real issues are not discussed. Japan has just as many violent video games, and so does Korea, and here in Hong Kong, they also in Japan have extremely violent cinema and all manner of violent entertainment. They have no where near as many homicides, and not even remotely near as many mass killings, and almost zero gun crime. The video game theory is an absolute farce. If anything, its the ugly and zealous CULTURE you have allowed to grow in the United States unabated due to the many ideologues you have running your country. [/quote] Points taken. I think also because of the restrictions of space in Asia, gamers there are more accustomed to "going inner" and leaving fantasy where fantasy should be. In America, not so much. There is something about the inner/outer tension in Americans that drives us to violence at times, I think. It's largely cultural, what we're seeing. But Americans don't want to examine our culture; instead, we want to blame one (guns) or two (video games) or three (anti-depressive medication) elements of it. [/quote]
