My vote is video games because they dont have that pesky constitution thing protecting it.

The Supreme Court today voided a 2005 California law that banned the sale of "violent video games" to minors. A 7-2 majority of the Court found the law violated the First Amendment, affirming that free speech applies to digital content and new media as much as to traditional literature.

The government cannot take our guns away. That would be the quickest way to a revolution if they tried and the 2nd amendment is our right to it.

You need to read. They are going to do it in a round about way. They are going to get the U.N. to do it so their hands are "clean"

i mean, in theory.. shouldnt violent games like cod quell the desire for psychos to shoot up shi?

weve all been there. bad day of work. S/O driving you nuts. we get on COD, bf3, w/e... go kill stuff. get our "release". laugh at retards. feel powerful. forget about problems for a few hours.

a video game disc has never killed someone to my knowledge

neither should be banned. go ahead and try telling a father of a large family he cant have a shotgun to protect what is his and who he loves... yeah thats gonna go over REALLY well

In theory, yes. I don't think anyone has done a study on it though.

There is a theory out there that pornography has severely reduced the number of rapes that occur. If I'm not mistaken, it is a well studied idea.

The idea may not transfer over as well, but I think it is a believable hypothesis.

I worry about this every time something happens. People always want to blame tv, movies, games... Never the people responsible like the shooter or the dad that molested the shooter. People tried to blame columbine on doom, I played doom all the time and I didn't act any different.

Going to Ireland, getting smashed at a hole in the wall pub, and then bringing some half way decent looking irish woman to pound town is on the bucket list.

If they want to censor video games they'd have to cesor tv and movies as well.... Will never happen.
