You are against it because you suck at it

quote:

The Entertainment Software Association is a lobbying group for a number of major companies, including Electronic Arts and Microsoft. These companies' products -- "Call of Duty," "Halo" and other "first-person shooter" games -- have come under criticism in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. massacre last month. It has been widely reported that the killer, Adam Lanza, was "obsessed" with video games, and police found thousands of dollars worth of violent video games while searching his house.


quote:

Wayne LaPierre, president of the NRA, criticized the media for ignoring "a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people ... through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse."



I wonder if he took his daughter to see "Hunger Games" (no guns used to kill people) or Expendables 2 ( all sorts of guns killing people)


fricking hypocrite

Vidya games have a pretty powerful lobbying group, I'm not that worried.

We live in a country where minority instances ruin the majority's privileges. You know how many kids that play video games "way too much" DIDN'T kill people this year? I'm willing to bet it's exponentially more kids than will wind up doing something insane.

Video games are just another hair trigger scape goat instead of blaming shitty parents and lack of education on how to diagnose, treat and overcome chemical imbalances that cause mental illnesses.

here's a tip for you Joe, IT'S JUST A frickING GAME! Any normal person doesn't want to go out and kill people, after play COD for a few hours. The guy (Adam Lanza) had major problems, and it had nothing to do with violent video games.

surely all of the problems that beset our society will be washed away with the elimination of video games and guns.

Those two great evils need to be eradicated so our country can flourish!

I have always said that there are certain people that straddle the line between what is real and fantasy. before video games there was Dungeons and Dragons. there were guys that would get so into it that they would go over the edge and commit suicide. People were blaming D&D for this. I have played all the military games and never once did I feel like going postal on someone. I race in games pretty much everyday but that doesn't make me want to drive any faster going to work. Where does it end. Do we ban cars cause of accidents? Baseball games because of bats? Ban anything that can possibly hurt someone?
