Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES

GOP Congressman Calls On Government To Address Violence In Video Games

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week on Sunday that, because of the violent “realism” found in “games and movies,” some young adults are unable to make the transition from their teen years to adulthood, leading to a mental health crisis.

Nope. Can't believe it. Here's why.

Before there was all of this kid on kid crime, the parent was removed from the home and from being able to discipline the child. This is where it started. No guidance, no rules, no oversight of the child's morality from parents, or the community. The Government raises our children these days.

Except for the few, like you, Koffee, who understand the role of good parenting.

hell theres violence in the news

Of coarse, just something else to blame.

Video games have been getting progressively dumber over the years to maximize playability. Players get caught in a sort of repetitive feedback loop.

Games are no more violent than they where 10 years ago, but they don't offer the same challenge.

It is not the violence it is the repetition and lack of objective.

I personally know someone who has struggled for almost twenty years raising a son who has a personality disorder. The doctor's kept changing the diagnosis and his medication, which caused the parents much confusion and frustration as they did not know how best to treat him. His first diagnosis WAS Asperger's Syndrome, but then they changed it.

He has been taking adult meds since he was 4! I believe the medication contributes to his condition.

The point I'm trying to make here, is that these parents devoted much time, money and love to raising this child. I've seen what they've gone through. I've seen the fear they had once he grew, and got older--and at time became uncontrollable. They did more than their best to keep his "mental issues" at bay.

There is some truth in what you have to say--the government does raise many of the children these days.

Maybe the good that will come out of this is parents will become more aware and more involved in the care and nurture of their children.

A Well-Mannered Grown-up’s Defense of Violence in Video Games

The debate about the link between video games and real-world violence has been popping up in the news again. A recently published study states that long-term gameplay does increase aggression, while an earlier video by GameSpot series The What If Machine outlined why the issue is too complex to address conclusively.

While I can’t add anything to the scientific discussion, the sidenote that I feel is missing is why adults — you know, the people who these games are made for — enjoy violent gameplay in the first place.

Perhaps it doesn’t matter in terms of researching aggression, but when people start fretting about violence in games, I get the impression that they imagine adult gamers as stunted miscreants, hopelessly addicted to our mind-sucking murder simulators. That much, at least, I feel qualified to talk about.

These "games" are pure evil, designed by satan to corrupt the minds and souls of young people.

Before video games it was film, before film it was rock and roll, before rock and roll it was literature, before literature it was philosophers.

Anybody who believes videogames are responsible is a fucktard.

My hypothesis is that it was probably caused by his christ-tard mum who beat the shit out of him for discovering how to play with his wiener at 14!

Oh that and my little pony, have you seen that shit.

I have two Christian sons who have played these games in the past. On occasion, they still do now.

One is fine when he plays, the other can become aggressive, angry and curse--so much cursing from a mouth that suppose to belong to God.

We've had many arguments over him playing this one specific game that always brings out the worst in him. He realizes it now and stays away from that game.

Call of duty did it!

Debbie does Dallas did it!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre did it!

Elvis and The Beatles did it!

Oscar Wilde did it!

Plato did it!

NO, Fucktarded idiotic humans did it and ruined it for everybody else, because the fucking retarded sheeple in this world refuse to accept responsibility for their actions and demand that the government wipe their fucking asses after taking a dump.

What about movies and The Programming Machine (T.V) ??

Yes, and what about doctor-prescribed medication? That can mess up one's mind, too.

:ty8:
for the pin!

AD&D did it, before video games.

Parents and idiots always find something to blame.

At one point dancing did it, then we had to suffer through fucking FOOTLOOSE.

Say no to the culture of violence!

Pac-Man drove him over the edge...

I'm going to go out today, eat a bunch of pills and just eat the fuck out of a fucking fruit stand.

Satan is building his army using your child and video games to train him for the upcoming battle.

No more cheap gratuitious violence in movies!
No more violence on TV!

teach the children LOVE...

positive messages..positive life..positive values

What a load of bull.. Stupid politicians allways blab about issues that they dont have a clue about.

What a moran, video games have fuck-all to do with it.

Humanity has been always violent..there is no need to blame videos games, books and movies..communists and nazis didnt need video games to commit terrible deeds...Healthy minded individual knows difference between reality and virtual reality

I think violent video games should have been banned a long time ago.

I know, we live in free country.... but I believe they are deleterious to those who engage in them and add no value.

Killing the infidels is positive in Islam. And liking Islam is a part of political corectness. Funny, huh?

Maybe they should start blaming the Army for promoting these violent games and movies in the first place. Oh but there not gonna do that ARE THEY

Well that governor is full of shit and same with anyone else who blames violence on video games.
