Video games? Really? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30153822  Brazil12/17/2012 10:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As for the software itself, it is impossible to ban such a thing, they tried it with counter-strike in brazil, guess what happened? Not a single fuck was given about the ban, lan houses and gamers still played it in high amounts and the law was simply put invalid by the people. The only ban that works is the ban that the "sheeple" follow, and there are too many gamer "sheeple" in the US/EU for it to take effect. |

ModelerX (OP) User ID: 18986155 United States12/17/2012 10:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WOW, my first pin, Thanks. Growing up the only game system I had was an Atria 2600. when I was at the age were other kids where playing with video game after school,I hung out the local hobby shop. So instead of learning how to kill thingys on what ever game, I was learning how to create and build things. I'll admit I have a love for aircraft and It lead to my current job as a designer. Its funny where Model trains,airplanes and tanks can take you in life. |

There is a window of time where children don't grasp if they are the good or bad guy, they just know shooting is the goal in those games. Now get that 7 or 8 year old when he/she is 18 - 20 years old. They feel rage, depression, whatever - I have to believe that the rush and fun in a game where you have power to kill would possibly push this disturbed young adult to get that rush by shooting randomly at real people. only we don't have a reset button. |

They never even notice that the sun has risen and set during the day. I do respect those who keep that mess out of their kids lives and let them play sports, music, art....whatever. Do something real, not live in a fake world. BTW - how can anyone think of slaughtering people as a 'game'? SICK |

| Blitz the storm-striker User ID: 29974830  Canada12/17/2012 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To me its tetris and bejewel 3 the worst. "the Topazs tell me to do bad things". :P To live is to believe in the power of dreams! To dream is to believe in the power of love! To love is to Know the truth! The Desire to Be fuel the belief that you Are which ignite the Will to Become which bring back forth the desire to be... Let it be-come you! It means Stop seeking your higher self! It is seeking you! Stand still in your mind to calm the waters of your mind and then it shall find you, so you can ride those waves together! your true self lies somewhere between your heart and your consciousness. It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you! The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love! The highest Purpose of our mind is the ability to Forget! Go on and Forgive yourself! There is no love in truth but there is truth in love! Be authentic, nobody else can do it for you! |

You're missing the context. You are a CIA agent trailing a Russian terrorist, you've infiltrated his group as one of his own to stop this very thing from happening on a larger scale. You're never once encouraged to fire a single shot. You can walk through the entire mission, until the Russian shoots you and scapegoats the Americans. Not only that, you were given an option to skip the mission altogether. I don't know why I'm bothering explaining this to you, but there is no study that can conclusively prove that video games make children prone to murdering large amounts of people. |

In my opinion, desensitization to the horror of murder may influence people to be less apathetic to a living human being.

Quoting: Mystic420 Now we are getting somewhere. I can only speak for the person I had become in my early 20's due to over exposure. I would remember feeling real rage if I wasn't killing at the rate in which I felt I should be. It lead to insane shouting matches over the microphones with people I didn't even know. Calling them names and trying to belittle them...It was the day that I got so mad that I felt a pain in my chest that I realized the video games were taking me down a road I didn't understand....and they had changed me to some degree. I no longer play them, watch tv, or movies. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29995664 United States12/18/2012 12:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You're wrong. You're apparently too close to the trees to see the forest. Everything about American media is focused on turning American males into military material. If you turn on the tv or see a movie or play a video game, you just can't get away from it. They're programming America's boys to be soldiers. They expect for American men to be the grunts for the NWO. A few apparently might go a little sideways and shoot a few people, but that's just collateral damage to me. The main problem to me is the militarization of America's youth by every arm of the media. |
