Video Game Violence

[maximan]

Many people blame so much of todays violence on popular media, especially video games. I was wondering what other people think about the video game violence issue?

I personally play violent video games to let off steam. I go home and beat people to a bloody pulp in Mortal Kombat instead of doing it in real life...in fact i dont condone violence at all unless it is self defense.

Comments?

i reckon it depends how angry that kid is in real life, cuz a normal happy kid, plays video games, like gta and finds it fun for the missions and seeing people get killed without the consequences, but if u get this realy angry at the world, kid, who say dads in prision for being a muderor, he just wants to get back at the world, plays video games, gives him ideas, carrys them out

i voted no, cause video games are the only place you can kill sombody and not have consequences.

i can fit a rocket launcher.......IN MY PANTS

Credit to Joseph Blanchette for that funny shit.

i voted no, cause video games are the only place you can kill sombody and not have consequences. not true, you lose some money, your weapons, and go to jail. Although, protection from anal rape is crushing glass and packing it into your rectum to prevent your cellmate from getting frisky.

well yeah, thats not all i play video games for. i was just giving an example. as you said i usually play a nice round of something like "zelda" to just zone out and forget my troubles for a little while.

i like that game!!!!!
yea i think it depends on the status of the child...but i agree with everyone who said that they use it to let off steam...thats what i used true crime for (love running over trees and bridges)

See, i love violent, gorey, blow off there limb games, but i would never grab a shotgun and start blowin random people away. sounds fun :twisted: , but i know what the right thing to do is, thats not to kill people. unless for defensive purpouses, of course.[/b]

video games doesnt cause violence, people do

[darkwolfwithinh]

i think kids should be able to play violent video games only if the parant knows that the child knows what is real and what isnt. if the kid knows that he doesnt have a restart button he should be fine.

OK only game that ever got me like crazy, was Grand Theft Auto...i do so much crazy driving that when im in the car with my dad once in my mind i thought to run him over as a reflex....so no GTA b4 i go driving :?

[Shuffle]

Like any art form, it depends on the personal interpretation of the thing. What the video games communicates is the developors responsibility, but they can't be held responsible if someone decides that it would be a fun idea to go do some crazy driving in real life just because they played GTA or something. Not everyone will do it, but perhaps one person will.

its totaly uop to the persons merntal status. if it was true then people would be jumping on each others heads and throwing turtle shells at each other

[darkwolfwithinh]

does anyone know where i can buy a turtle shell. i want to throw it at the guy that lives next door.

:shock: uhhh, u know what...i dont like the idea of adults thinking that everything is caused by video games....cause the kids get it from when they are smaller and younger, not by video games. even though video games MIGHT cause mental violence, it basises more around the society we live in, and the people 2...like if u live in a family that owns 45 guns, u think that the kids gonna turn out 2 be mayor...no....not gonna happen...probly...

If the child is say 4years old..their brain is like a sponge soaking everything in...if that child is fed sugar ..like junk food...and sits their with all this nervous energy..Whose not to say the kid's not going to get aggravated when little billy bob comes along and wants to play the game too.
Its a possiblity..

[Skittle Flavored]

but thats what im trying 2 say...its the society that we live in...and little billy bob deserved what he had coming...

just a joke

.......im not even going 2 say a word....

I definitely think the meida (television, videos and more including games) influence one's thinking.l

I am not saying that everybody who plays Hitman will want to become a Hitman. It does depend on the child's mental status. I am saying however, that constant playing of violent games may construct an ideological society in some children, in that their game is the reality.

Sure, let children play violent video games! But, I honestly think that some people hava deterimental (bad, negative) effect to video games.

This may be going off on a tangent but the film Scream has seen many Screm like murders worldwide.

Definitely it may help someone on how to commit a crime if there in the mental state for starters.

I don't know really if video games cause violence for definet. All I will say is, video games can help commit an offence to people who are already in the right mental status.

[boognish]

yeah, i listen to heavy metal and play first person shooters so i dont go and kill someone. that is my stress ball, a controler and a headset

[Waiting]

i kill many people...on GTA san andreas....
because then i know what its like to kill a fellow man for fun...and i dont have to go through the consequences unless hte police bust me on the game...

my point is, video vioilence is a good thing

[Dante]
