Violent Video Games and TV Shows - New Studies - VOA Story

[plyrkiller]

@TheThunderGirl You're a fucking idiot.

[TheThunderGirl1]

These violent tv shows, videos, and video games are evil and should be abolished! That trash makes my little brother aggressive I see it alot in young boys. it's unhealthy and nothing but trash. Damn it all. We don't want any part of it!

[pein99g]

wait graphic rape scene WTF IS HE WATCHING WITH HIS KIDS O_o

[pinkytrolly]

whats next south park

[TheMegaOverlord14]

I think someone is going to chew my arse up for this. But I play violent and bloody video games all the time and I don't even act different not one bit. I play L4D and L4D 2, TF 2, HL2, HL: Source, CSS, you name it. And I am even 13 and I don't act different a single bit. Because my parents taught me well about Video Games and what they have in them. They taught me well about Violence, Blood and gore, and many other violent things. It is not because of VGs, it is because of Irresponsable parents

[ScopedPewPew]

This study can stick it up their ass

[fmcneillii]

How do they explain moms killing their kids and old men going on shooting sprees? Is that video games causing them to do all these things?

[RevolverOcelot2008]

Uh yeah all these studies are bs, Violence is human natue.

As the philosopher Immanuel Kant said;

"Peace amongst men living alongside one another is not a natural state. On the contrary, the natural state of man is that of war. War manifested not only by open hostilities, but also by the open threat of hostility. Peace, therefore, is a state that must be established by law"

Games, TV, movies, books, music ,etc do not cause violence. Its just an excuse for irresponsible people

[emmidad1125]

The history of human beings in general is a history of violence. How many armed conflicts have we been in? How many wars? The majority of these wars and armed conflicts were started way way before any electronic or graphical form of entertainment. It is human nature to be violent and it is part of our primal instincts. History as indeed shown, without a doubt, that human beings DO NOT need video games to unleash harsh violence on others..Video games are a scapegoat, nothing more.

[The7DeadlyStrings]

Im pretty sure before gaming became popular only nerds played them. and Nerds are not violent..the bullies and jocks where..

[The7DeadlyStrings]

I just beat Mario and now i cant control the urge to kill turtles! I see them all the time and i just want to fucking smash their brains in with my feet. after i stomp them dead i take their shells and hurl them at my foes. I need help, its all because of these damn video games im like this!

[paratrooper2696]

you know, there is A REASON WHY GAMES ARE RATED. it is upon the parent to choose whether ti buy it or not.

[Patricktheangel]

gta is 17 and up its not for teens under 17

[Anarchist711]

Humans like violence... get over it.

[DAnOOBSan]

Pokemon is a mix of animal abuse, selfishness, and fighting.

[ScopedPewPew]

I grew up on games like conkers bad fur day and I watch horror films and I play mw2 (garbage game though...) and I don't drink get in fights do drugs I'm not a serial killer and I get 90% average by basically going to class and hardly studying. It's the parents job to not let their kid access content intended for a mature audience.

[MF0TY]

It's the responsibility of the parents to protect their children, not the fucking government, why the fuck can't they and those who believe it's the governments job to do everything you lazy fuck ups can't see that???

[XxRombusterxX]

I play GTA, MW2, I watch CSI, sick movies like SAW, and I also watch wrestling and out of all that nothing actually happened to me....

[BurningArmyman]

how old is this

[themmafan1]

You can't hide your kids from everything. I watch Rambo, Platoon, all kinds of violent movies yet I'm still normal.

[peanutstheelephant]

If people really believe this then they are fucking RETARDED. Also if someone would go out and kill people because of a video game then they are morons and would only get away with one kill because they where to stupid to cover there tracks, you need to kill atleast 3 people to be a serial killer. ALSO THE SERIAL KILLER COUNT HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE 70'S. GUESS WHAT? ALL THEY HAD IN THE 70'S WAS PONG. PONG KILLED PEOPLE? SERIAL KILLERS ARE MENTALLY DISTURBED PEOPLE, NOT GAMERS!

[Rose121357]

pathetic!!!!!

Oh no I played Manhunt2 on the wii my killing skills havent just been used BUT i can now fire a gun with awsome accuracy!!!! woot!

>< curse you videogames and your abilities to change my kind hearted soul!!!! I shall play you again tomorow!!!

[chaos55]

I'm a wanted rapist and mass murderer. Thanks videogames, tv, and movies. YOU MADE ME DO THIS!!!

[dcl32]

1:20 If I had to do that instead of shooting hundreds of people in the head or just watching that, I'd go be a hermit.

[Litterboxer529]

i think it's parents' dumb decisions that will shape our generation. i live with my mom and she doesnt give a shit what i watch on TV or what i play on my XBOX and i have NEVER acted out violently towards ANYONE if not nesesarry. i mean please, if a kid plays GTA IV when you can drive by a fat guy and shoot him in the ass with an UZI, it doesnt mean that kid is DEFINANTLY going to go buy a gun and shoot the nearest fat guy he sees.

[RLDHotTamale]

um ima go play GTA now

[kenji214245]

How come that the people i know that play games rather stay home playing or goes over to a friend having fun. While the people i know that barley play games at all are the ones out fighting and getting drunk at party's. That does not make sense if what is said here is true

[TheGuyfromhawaii]

honestly ppl are to fearful these days these ppl either have notin to do or jus look ovar childs shoulder evryday

[Latetotheshow]

or you could just talk to your kids lol

[huhjustin]

I kill people because I play pokemon games. Fuck they piss me off... I JUST WANT TO STAB SOMEONE! FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU PICACHUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[MrJperez1083]

But if u let kids watch nothing but nick JR. they will become into total puusies in the future, and America soilders will be pussies and america will be weak, so we might ass well not mess with the ballance that we have now

[skidoo1066]

I think television violence does effect children's behavior. It's definitely not the only way, but it is a big way. They have some ideas of how to solve this- times for violent show are later, or people pick what channels they want for their cable, parents being with their children when they watch television. I think these are great ideas and would definitely help those parents who are concerned about their children watching violent television shows.

[tmaahs]

ok come on if ur kid knows how to use the internet he/she can already look that stuff up...i mean there are ppl doing walkthroughs of rated M games so they can watch that so whats the difference??PLZ SOMEONE READ THIS! AND GIVE ME A REPLY

[xabelincolnx]

[claudiololo2]

i kill people beacause i play tetris everyday

[TheMrSpartanking]

@claudiololo2 I kill people everyday because I play pacman.

[LegendaryGamer0]

Anytime I hear that Tim Winter agrees with something,I know that something is either very stupid,very evil,not something that any one else cares about or all of the above.

[kylglly]

fuck off dude

[anti4kids2000]

What disturbss me about this country is how it is alright to show people dying in a plane crash on tv, but if you show a show about some douchebag in some fake looking red costume trying to pretend hes fighting another douchebag in some fake looking monster costume, the people that made the show will get in more trouble than Adolf Hitler would, if he had been captured.

[REDSKULL180]

lol people die in war and die infront of children, you cant escape grim, grim will find you, so wake up, we will die a pianful death. plus some teenagers dont even make it to their 17 birthday rofl lol omg have you woke up yet?

[Mightydein]

I come from canada and tv violence is censored by the government all the time on my end but at least it's not as bad as what is in store for the usa. The cbsc handles complaints and will only act when a complaint is made by any member of the public.

While i don't agree with what they do. It'll likely be better than whats in store for America.

The FCC will likely butt in before the public even has a chance to send in complaints and this will really disrespect the first amendment.

[stripesRblack]

im in my early teens. i play grafically vilent video games sometimes, and im a very peaceful person. the most violent i ever get is when i say "fuck you"

[Raxer417]

BWHAHAHHAHA, You fools, resistance is futile Videogames can not be destroyed, the major companies like Sony and Nintendo arent just going to disappear and they know they'll lose millions if they revert back to kid like games

[Raxer417]

my parents dont monitor my videogames ^_^ XD

[stripesRblack]

this is bullshit. do you see be beating the crap out of people because i play violent games? no.

the only fight i ever got in was to prtect one of my freinds. i owned, too! :}

[godzilla4189]

Yay for legislation being beaten by Enbtertainment. I don't agree with the studies, at all!

[MyEarbot]

Do an internet search on: "Iowa State University Violent Video Games", and you'll find the report.

[TheMrSpartanking]

@MyEarbot Yeah, I'm a kid and I shouldn't be aloud to do ANYTHING! YUP! YOUR RIGHT! What I watch should be up to me, and me alone, not my mom shoving her nose in everything I do. You try to fucking shield or censor me, You'll fell what it's like to be in the media violence.

[Polesky]

do you have the info so i can site this in a report?

please :)

[illusionfreak]

This is the gayest and most stupid shit I have ever seen.

[br000ly]

this video makes me laugh :P

[stardaisy28]

Great video, but I don't think video games an television is the problem, I also don't think getting rid of television and videogames will do anything about violence, but that's just my opininion.

[mattfetts]

supershortbus800@netscape. net i really need this for my history class!

[MyEarbot]
