Ban games , t.v , books , Internet , anything related to negativity. Then we can talk , because the way I see it blaming video games is just giving these sick fucks an excuse!

It projects images onto the walls so it's feels like the player is more inside the action. It also senses mood, facial expressions etc.... No one is doing any testing of how this is going affect the brains of young kids long term. Especially the more violent centric games. There are a LOT of kids with mental issues out there who are vulnerable to the affects of this kind of stuff. Don't think it should be banned. But psychological affects testing should be mandatory before this stuff is released so warnings can be issued IMO. |

I asked before and I'll ask again: why don't these mass shootings take place at gun ranges? |

I asked before and I'll ask again: why don't these mass shootings take place at gun ranges? Call me pessimistic, but I find it ironic how Americans are all about freedom & rights & how guns re-inforce your freedom - when you're currently living in fear & NEED to carry weapons for your own & others safety. That doesn't make sense, my friend. Gun ranges are not dense enough for shooting sprees. These killings come down to the fact that weapons are being weilded by retards, not because people don't have enough guns. |
| Beltway Bandit User ID: 25992474 12/14/2012 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What about Doom? Do you remember that one? It came out in 1993 so I have to wonder where all the hardcore killers are that played it when they were teens. What about Mario? I mean, think about it... at the end of the level, there was a peace sign on the flag. That means this jerk was destroying their brick architectures and killing Koopas who only wanted peace. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I played Doom a lot in 1995. I now lobby on the Hill with Congress for financial legislation that serves The Powers That Be more than the sheep. You do the math. So, are you known for walking around with a shotgun? Hell no, that's the point. I'm known for walking around terrorizing Congress with threats of removing our support their re-election if they don't go for the legislation we want (none of which is ever anything *bad* necessarily or I wouldn't be able to do this for a living). What's worse? Doom and GTA certainly didn't groom me for that. I have been known to come straight home and head to the virtual world to blow some sh*t up after a long day, though, but that's different. |

Emotions are only a part of the total mental picture. Intellect is suppose to be used as well. If no one is figured this out yet, or how to control emotions, then it is their fault, not other people's fault if they respond normally. Some of you posters better be joking with such rude, crude comments. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3570662 12/14/2012 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I disagree on the banning of the games part. BUT these dads who think its fine to play first person shooters day in and day out with their 6 year olds are wrong. We need kids games again and to keep them away from mature rated games until they are older. The teen ratings on many games need to be slid to mature rating as well. This goes for tv and movies too. All the super hero movies that should be for kids are crafted more for the parents who used to read the comics when they were kids. There is no innocent media For Kids anymore really. The cartoons of the past 15 years have been frenetic, twisted and bizarre. Everything has merged into "adults must be able to enjoy this too" and because of that so much is inappropriate. |
