Those who say games are evil...

[HogWashSoup]

The blame is that video games cause kids to be violent. And those who believe this think that if you take away the violent video games or all video games all together, you will get rid of kids being violent or put a huge dent in it.

Those who are the top blamers are not one of these people. The top blamers are the ones like Jack Thompson.

Jack Thompson is blaming video games for the cause of violence, but in reality he doesn't care. Video games to him are an oprotunity. That oprotunity is to get attention and money.

The people who do believe video games cause violence are his gold mine. He goes up, says video games cause violence and he will put an end to it, and these people will praise him.

People like Jack Thompson should not be heard or listened to.

When ever there is a person or people that say "This is bad or This is great" I never listen to them.

If there was a study that showed that video games are not the cause, even a number of studies that show that games are not the cause, these Top Blamers will try to cencor them, or change what the study showed, or say that the study was false.

Jack Thompson again. Durring the virginia tech shooting, Jack Thompson blamed video games for his actions. He said he had played a violent video game and it caused him to go crazy.
He left out that he had not played a video game in a number of years, which wasnt even a violent game, and that he was violently mentally unstable. He left that stuff out because it would effect his cause. Thankfully he was found out, but his believers ignored it.

If video games do cause violence, then we should harnes that and use it to make angery soldiers that just want to kill kill kill.

But sadly it isnt true.

Why spend 20 minutes typing up a opinion that you know everyone will all agree with? Your on newgrounds, not cnn.

This one seems to be more about Jack Thompson specifically.

Also, I don't think this is such a big deal anymore, I think the creationists and I.D. proponents are a bigger threat to, well, everything.

[Gunter45]

I'm sick of all of these topics on video games and violence. I think all of you stupid shits want to sound like you're involved in political issues so you want to make a topic, but you have nothing to talk about other than insipid video game shit that's not even being seriously discussed in any legislative sense.

It seems like there's always going to be talk about net neutrality and video game violence because that's all you fucking dorks care about: the internet and video games.

I actually made a good post about video game violence and the mentality behind it, and some dumbass posted some inane comment agreeing with me and saying "yeah, lol, video games don't cause violence, you're right." I hate that MUCH more than someone disagreeing me on my points because at least they're actually responding to what I'm saying and not masturbating over how everyone agrees with their point that video games aren't evil.

You're not going to get any discussion on this topic other than mindless thralls agreeing with you over and over. The problem is that all of you dumbasses know it, you just want to whack off to people agreeing with you over issues that don't fucking matter. Yes, it's important that the net stays free and it's important that people realize that video games don't cause murders, but nobody's disputing that. Anywhere. Talking about assholes like Jack Thompson like they're actually influencing ANYTHING is retarded. NOBODY takes him seriously. There are judges who recommend him being disbarred.

Posting threads about how he's stupid is like posting threads about how masturbation feels good. We all fucking know, we don't need you to talk about it, fuckheads.

Here is why Jack Thompson is a crazed nutcase.

He identifies himself as Batman.

No, really.

[SadisticMonkey]

Is this ACTUALLY a big deal in the political world?

I really don't see it as a 'hot topic' so much as just something the occasional struggling candidate brings up to snag a few conservative votes.

Oh that sounds like a freaking brilliant idea.

[KeithHybrid]

With all the video game-related threads in the Politics board lately, maybe we should have a dedicated thread set up for dicussion of games and politics.

[TheKlown]

They obviously haven't played games like Zelda(your character is completely good in that game and he wants to save the freaking planet and be a hero)

[PigletsMemories]

Yeah, he's pretty damn stupid. I remember when the NIU shooting happened, and without any details of the shooter being released, he boasted about how he played violent video games. I can't see how games like FPSs could possibly influence for one to go killing.

And also, you're obviously right in that angry soldiers make for effective soldiers.
Obviously.

[thefev]

If every single person who played violent games is capable of a massacre, we wouldn't live today.
No, games aren't evil, not even the violent ones. Games are made for many purposes, ranging from education, communication, or just simply relaxation.

If you think games are evil, fuck you!

GAMES AREN'T EVIL, PEOPLE ARE EVIL. GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE

I suppose your message is right, but not all people are evil, and the video game and gun issues are completely different cases.

Actually, to strengthen soldiers stomachs, my dad told me they played violent video games, but not to brainwash them. This is different, because the young minds of children are impressionable. These are full grown soldiers. That is the difference. That is why it would not work on full grown soldiers, my solution, DON'T let you're kids play it.

That's all they look into like seriously video and internet shit. Internet2 is not some dumb tv shit or whatever some guys may think, internet2 is super fast internet that only a few can use right now. And the video game issue stop talking about it we all know the answer to this.

ha ha general fags super short replies to a long topic most people here don't usually make long replies esp when it's about video games. And that is why discussions are rare on general and some cases here.

Posting threads about how he's stupid is like posting threads about how masturbation feels good. We all fucking know, we don't need you to talk about it, fuckheads.

Masturbation threads I think are getting the deletehammer now because yeah...
