Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
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! redface

Marriage--DEFINITELY, a major testing ground for bringing all types of negative emotion to the surface.
As a Christian, I see the problem as sin, and the solution as Jesus Christ.

Marriage is the number one, most powerful acid test of two peoples' character that has ever been invented.

I doubt this is cause and effect. I think the chances are more likely that individuals that tend to be violent are drawn towards violent video games.

Re: Colorado governor points to VIOLENCE in VIDEO GAMES
Adults (that are not mentally ill) have a developed enough brain to distinguish fantasy from reality. That's not really the problem here. The problem lies in parents wanting an easy way out because they work 2 or 3 jobs just to have a standard of living anymore; so they let simulated violence in video games babysit and raise their kids for them.

If they actually wanted to solve this issue, they'd address the hyperinflation that makes 2 parents working a job or two necessary just to feed their kids. They'd reinforce the traditional family value that a parent stays at home to teach morals and cook good food.

Heck, my SO has a pretty good job and can probably keep it up; but just to be able to buy healthy food for our eventual kids at these insane prices will require that I also have a decent career. I'd love nothing more than to be a housewife, but I can't.

They paint Feminism with the brush that the main tenant of it is a woman having a societal career, and anything less is dehumanizing these poor, oppressed victims that would otherwise be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. This means I get called misogynist by my 20 something year old female friends that insist, "I AIN'T NO BABY INCUBATOR" when I merely inform them that yes, that is their biological function, whether they like it or not. They scream this label at me as I try to explain that society is making pregnancy and childbirth look like some point in your life where, "Everything is ruined!" They call me a misogynist just for expressing that I'd like to be a housewife, and here I thought feminism was about choice and empowering women! We certainly won't do that by completely ignoring our biological and social functions as mothers.

These are the kind of women who grow up to go to college, have a career, and despite their insistence they aren't babymakers and never will be, biology inevitably catches up with them. They want to care for their children and they want to do good for them, but society and the tenants of modern feminism has completely left them in the dark about such knowledge. So instead, these women, often not unfamiliar with video games themselves, find no problem with an electronic babysitter. Easy peasy.

What about movies and The Programming Machine (T.V) ??
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27026395


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


This.

This is what the media is glossing over in this story. The only references to mental illness and medication is to say that sometimes they don't stay on their medication, as if THAT could cause a problem, but being ON the medication is ONLY a positive. Guess again...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18943200


Sometimes it is ONLY the drug they are ON that is the problem in and of itself.

Sometimes they shot-gun the drugs at the kid, hoping they will find something that effectively treats what mental illness they have, only to put them on some drug that while ON it totally fraps them out and makes the very dangerous and violent. Other drugs, and they will just sleep all the time, barely able to stay awake long enough to eat and go to the bathroom.

There should be no new drugs for humans that have not been tried with primates over at least four primate geneations, at the very least.. like chimps and gorellia.. not spider monkey's or reses monkey's or rabbits and god forbid Mice.
