Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES

If they have a temper that comes out while playing a video game, then they have a temper period. Something else will likely set it off if they can't even deal with losing on Call of Duty. Maybe the games could be help them learn patience.

I have to say, though, that some parents go the other direction and become "too attached" and are extremely controlling and overbearing--I've seen the negative effects that can have on a child, too.

Take away the video games.
When these things keep happening, look for another scapegoat.

Take away the violent movies.
When another monster shoots up a school, search for another scapegoat.

Take away violent lyrics from the young generation's music.
When someone kills their family, you'll look for another scapegoat.

Take away the country's weapons from legal owners.
When someone finds one of the millions of weapons still floating around, there will be blood once again and people will look for a scapegoat.

How many freedoms will you take away before you realize that evil people aren't just some recent trend that's popped up with the arrival of video games or modern weapons? Evil has existed since the day that man's mind could invent up such a thing. As far as we know, it may never go away.

What we CAN do is make known that we will fight this evil as long as we have breath in our bodies; That we WON'T give in to pressure to take away our freedoms and take away our means to defend ourselves from such attacks.

I'll stand against every politician who tries to take away our rights the same as I would stand against a homicidal maniac, because they are both terrorists one and the same.

Why does someone need to virtually practice killing someone else?

That aside, the fact remains it is an EDUCATIONAL issue that starts from birth to adulthood. A cultural problem.

Just look at Switzerland, for example:

Thread: Butter knife

They have guns and video games!

i'll catch alot of crap for this but.....

i think the arguement is valid enough to start a serious discussion about video games with realistic killing scenerios.

anyone old or mature enough and of sound mind can obviously play these sorts of games without being affected by it. but unsupervised children and people with mental disorders shouldnt be playing this games.

i think the fault and responsibility lies with the parents on this one.

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

That's right, make video games a scapegoat instead of placing the blame where it belongs, the easy use of attaining guns.

So, it sounds like what is being said, is that the games don't produce the violent anger--it's already there. The games just bring it to the surface.

Children have minds that are not fully developed yet, they are being formed. They are influenced by these games, music and movies that are designed by satan to corrupt thinking.

This is just a fact. Satan controls the entertainment industry and letting our youth kill people in video games as a form of entertainment is extremely destructive and evil and it desensitizes them to the horrors of violence.

It chips away at values and what is decent and right. The average american kid is a mess, just visit the public high or middle schools and they are full of punks that disrespect adults, have no respect for authority and what is decent.

Sorry, it's the truth. Kids stand no chance while parents feed them violence and degradation as entertainment in the home 24/7. It's a pity.

You mean like stealing legally owned ones from your mom after you kill her? That kind of ease?

How about we make mental health issues the thing we talk more about... these guns didn't go boom without help from a very disturbed individual.

So very true, in some cases.

Just for once, I would like to help a call and cry for "Save the Adults", or "Save the Parents".. its always "Save the Children"

Uhm, I'm speechless......

Purely violent murderous people really have no problem using a box cutter to slit your throat in an personal. Impale you on a long sword. Shoot you full of arrows. Disembowel you. Dose you with gasoline and light the match. Poison you. Blow you up with a pipe bomb. Run you over with their car.

Idiot.

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.

Sitting in traffic can also bring anger to the surface. Perhaps we should do something about that?

Working in retail can bring anger to the surface when you have to deal with rude, obnoxious customers. Not mention the anger that the shopping experience obviously induces in the customers, which makes them obnoxious to begin with. Perhaps retail should be banned?

Waiting in line at McDonald's for 15 minutes only to have them get your order wrong brings anger to the surface. Perhaps fast food should be banned?

Marriage can certainly bring anger to the surface. As can disobedient children. Should we eliminate these things from out lives? Maybe these things are showing us something about ourselves we need to work on.

Violence in our entertainment is a reflection of society. Why don't people see that? Warning for the softhearted gross generalization ahead. People are shit. They want whatever you will give them, what they can take without you knowing and what is "fair." Fair. Whatever. How is it that obesity and hunger are the top two world health problems?

Now, put this kid on SSRIs.. and you will sooner or later have a mass killer on your hands.

The politicians pointing with their fingers really should be pointing at a mirror. They're the ones who preside over institutions that keep everyone at breaking point and dead inside.

It's not the video games, the music, cannabis etc. They'll scapegoat anything to avoid taking responsibility for breaking children and adults.

It's the politicians fault for being so fucking greedy and selfish, and it's our fault for allowing them to continue what they're doing.

Getting real tired of all this divisive bullshit - When can we just begin the overdue lynching of asshat politicians and other greedy elite fucktards who hold our species back!

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.

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.

If we are pointing toward things why stop there?

Did he forget to point to wear violence in video games come from? The answer is the military and weapons of war. Why did he not point towards this?

Ban war

It's a cop-out response from the Governor, he just didn't have the balls to speak the hard truth.
