Well we should pay attention to a government employee. The people who want a monopoly on violence. The people who create a system of tax laws that nobody can possibly comply with, so they point at gun at you, to get your money, even though they can print all they want, to pay for false flag wars where they point guns at other people.

Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
Violent Video Games: More Playing Time Equals More Aggression

A new study provides the first experimental evidence that the negative effects of playing violent video games can accumulate over time.

Researchers found that people who played a violent video game for three consecutive days showed increases in aggressive behavior and hostile expectations each day they played. Meanwhile, those who played nonviolent games showed no meaningful changes in aggression or hostile expectations over that period.

“Playing video games could be compared to smoking cigarettes. A single cigarette won’t cause lung cancer, but smoking over weeks or months or years greatly increases the risk. In the same way, repeated exposure to violent video games may have a cumulative effect on aggression.”

This is such a poor study in so many ways. Not to even mention the intentions and expectations of both the researcher's and the participants corrupt any limited data sets such as these. These researchers/students were looking for effects of aggression. Wow, they found it. Did they see how it correlates to a rise comradery? What about the effects of their winning percentages? I'm not sure about you but I get grumpy when I lose. These 70 students were probably walk ups that is how these kind of trials go, but I don't like to play some games, thus am not good at some games, thus lose and unhappy. Did they play each other in the video games? If so, it is reasonable for them to think those are the same unknown players in the test game player later. What is the correlation of losing in either game to aggression?

Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
Violent video games and a "culture of violence" found in the media could be contributing factors to mass shootings, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said Sunday.

"There might well be some direct connection between people who have some mental instability and when they go over the edge - they transport themselves, they become part of one of those video games," Hickenlooper said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Perhaps that's why all these assault weapons are used."

The Democratic governor argued that some gun regulations need to be tweaked but said more immediate changes can take place by targeting mental health.

Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
I believe it's a combination of video games and the fact that he had underlying issues.

If Adam had autism, we need to seriously re-exxamine our nation's vaccination policy. Yet nobody is talking about that.

Vaccinations ARE linked to autism. Autism is now even listed as an adverse reaction in at least one childhood 3-in-1 vaccination.

When I was a kid, we got a few vaccinations before we went to school, at the age of 4 or 5. Now they are vaccinating children with 30 vaccinations before the age of 3! Their bodies and minds are not developed enough to handle this.

If vaccinations made Adam Lanza autistic, and the autism contributed to his social awkwardness and lonliness and anger...then vaccinations are to blame.

I know most autistic people are not violent, but if he did have it...and if autism contributed to his troubles, then Adam Lanza was also a victim...a victim of vaccination damage.

But, I do think that violent video games are desensitizing children to violence.

We need to think about what we let children play with! Video games are not the same as playing cowboys and Indians. It's so much worse...they program the mass killing into the mind.

Ever hear about this? If you do something 21 times, and it gets programmed into the subconscious. It's true. Once you do something enough times, it gets programmed into the subconscious mind as a habit.

Like driving a car. When we first start out driving, it's awkward, and nothing feels right. We have to think about everything we do. But after a while, driving becomes second nature. And soon, we can even do it subconsciously. We can drive and talk and drive and eat and drive and text, etc...

Same thing with violent video games. When you first start out "killing" - it's awkward. But after doing it for a while, it becomes second nature....

So, anyone who denies that video games don't affect the subconscious.....well, then they don't understand the subconscious mind and how it works.

Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
I know it has been said already, but just to add some weight, I too believe, quite strongly that children are missing moral instruction from their parents. A parent should be home for the children. I manage to do it and not without sacrifice, but I believe it to be the one best thing I have done for my husband and children.

My daughter attends a public school and along with the minimum education she has gotten from there, she has also learned that some people are really awful, intolerant and ignorant. She has seen a young man dry hump a desk, people bullied and hurt. Unfortunately I draw the line at being home for my family, I don't know if I have it in me to homeschool. But, man I hate sending her off to school everyday.

Keeping up with the Jones and aquiring wealth is not nearly as important as raising healthy, intelligent chidren. Look at the world now and tell me that isn't the truth. I am old fashioned, I know, but Mothers.....stay with your children!

I mentioned in a previous post that my mother slit her wrists a few times.

Loneliness was her problem. She thought pills and alcohol were the solution.

I was too young to be aware of what medication she was on, but her mind was messed up. It's sad, too, because she was a beautiful woman.

She was not a violent woman, violence came from my dad, who was also on pills and alcohol.

My mom's form of abuse was emotional--she did a lot harm with her words.

My dad's was physical. I found out later in life, that my dad felt his father hated him. It happened during one of his drunken stupors, that he kept crying out, "why did my dad hate me, he never told me he loves me!".
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task
the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24

"This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42

Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7
