dont you just h8 people who blame societys blunders on gaming.

This all started when some kid at columbine said "This is just like Doom". It really sucks that parents today cannot trust us to decide between socially acceptable, and un-acceptable behavior. Most of us can make the connection, and can repress whatever emotions we may have learned in video games due to the concequences. Because less than 1% of society is angry enough to acctually commit these heinous crimes, they blame videogames. If there were no video games, I would bet that these types of things would still hapen. Reguardless,t here ARE videogames, and if tehy were taken away, there would be a massive uprising. This, may in fact be worse than any other violence caused by videogames. Lieberman is a cock block.

Awards:
Anybody who thinks video games are the cause must die. They must be SHOT, like in Half-Life! Let's just hope they don't respawn.
Anyone with half a brain understands the difference between video game violence and real violence. I mean, I bash hookers in the head with golf clubs on a daily basis in video games, but in reality, I've never hit someone, and if I ever do, I'll probably feel guilty about it later, because I'm just that lame. The kids that decide to go on killing sprees were screwed up already. Doom just serves as target practice for them.

if someone does something stupid, and theres something similar in a game, or even in a song for that matter.... thats who gets blames, the developer of musician.... this angers me, and i'm gunna go listen to death metal and absorb the subliminal messages while playing GTA: 3 and having urges to run people over in real life......... did i just type that?

Awards:
I think I'll do that too! Hey, Sofa, how about we go shoot a bunch of children together? I've heard that when you kill "real" people, the bodies don't fade away! Isn't that cool?!
Did you know in real life you only get one-hit-KO's and limited ammo and no respawns??/ WTF? This is just like Doom?
EDIT: Hehe imagine some soldier is liek "d00d, check this 5hit out, I saw this one in UT" and wounds an enemy and walks over to his dying enemy and the dying guy says "Please, ughhh, remake..." And the soldier is all "STFU N00B I PWNED YOU!!1" and the dying guy is all "OMG h4x, j0o smacktard!" Then the commanding officer is all "Wtf is that n00b doing out there??/" and then hes all "admin, ban th4t fool!"
Yeah...

One time I heard of a woman who sued teh company that makes PoP because teh ads had teh main character 'angrily pointing a sword at teh audience' and it gave her 8 year old nightmares.

The way I see it, it's the parents' fault. They give their kid a game without checking the rating or what it's rated for, and then they act surprized when their 8-year-old thinks it's OK to punch people just like in Mortal Combat or whatever (<--true story.) It's not the game developers fault, they didn't do anything wrong. They made a game and put an age rating on it--and even what the rating was for. It's the parents' fault for not checking the rating and decidnig whether or not it was appropriate. It's not the kid's fault either, since the parents are supposed to be the ones monitering what he's doing. I think most parents are responsible enough to decide what's age appropriate for their children, and the game companies try to help by putting ratings right on the outside of the package where everyone can see them. And when you get older and your parents don't have so much control over the games you play, I'd hope that you'd have enough sense by then to be able to distinguish between doing something in a game, and doing something in real life. Yeah, there are a few psychos who can't tell the difference, but they're the exceptions, and that's why it's news. Most kids are actually a lot more responsible then I would have first thought, and I say you can't judge the whole batch just because of one or two bad eggs.

*jeepstar* shouldn't live in america if they hate it so much.

That reminds me (I say that too much), Canada is coming up with a new ratings system for games, because the one currently used (E for Everyone, MA for Mature, etc etc" isn't goode enough to stop parents from buying these games for their young children. Now, what makes them think changing the system is going to keep retarded parents from buying these games for their kids? "Rated MA for blood, violence, mature sexual themes and drug use... Sounds ok for Jimmy. I mean, he's almost three... He can handle it." No, changing the system will do exactly CRAP to fix things. Stupid people will be stupid, and nothing can change that except possibly giving the death sentence for have a below-average IQ.
ANYWAY... I'm done now.

OK....so exactly what the hell did that have to do with anything? I thought we were talking about games here....Originally Posted by cheetahs157
And yeah...once again, Crack Monk is right: stupid people will be stupid, and no rating system on the planet--no matter how good--can protect the world from its own idiocy.
Your signature sucks, *jeepstar*.

american society really sucks and from my experiences in canada i think canadians are much nicer, smarter(on average) and open minded, as opposed to lazy fat ignorant obnoxious americans who dont like the guy accross the street because he's different...
im moving away asap so dont worry avarik, people who think similar wont croud your patriotism.
and make you feel girly.
we'll just move away from your blind asses.
and to stay on topic,...
games music and T.V. are not to blame for random shootings and killings.
its human interaction,impressions and influences, humans are corrupt...
games, T.V. and music(AKA media) are just a way of spreading ideas and influence corrupt ideas...
its human nature,
KILL KILL KILL SEX SEX SEX.
