@barakHobama Songs like a fag? What songs would that be? You sound like an idiot!

Is it useless to point out to anyone that these games are based on what's happening, or happened, in the world and NOT the other way around? Maybe Pol Pot was a big GTA player, or Stalin a BADASS Halo player, can't get Hitler to pick up Call of Duty tho'. And I suppose there were thousands of Hutu homes all over Rwanda with Xboxes. Boggles the damn mind it does.

I'm a hardcore gamer who plays alot of violent videogames, and I fully attribute me not being in anyway violent on my parents telling me games were not real and not to b influenced so much by games or tv or movies. I really think parents have a big role in this. But all the lazy ass parents in America want to blame the video game industry for this and it annoys me.

[CptCraigGM]

Another good example, it's easier to blame others but much harder to blame yourselves. Parents will find any excuse to claim they are good parents. Kids will get into things they don't want them to regardless, it is up to them to teach them to make wise choices

I support laizze affaire between government and my video game controller. :3

I play halo, call of duty. ALL the time, they allow me to play with my friends and have fun. You learn tactics, develop fast reflexes, etc. If anyone believes that video games like that are the sole reason for people attacking others then you are stupid. I wont lie and say some one might think about it because of the game. think about how many play vs how many people go off. Btw user rating were made for a reason, if you buy a 10 year old kid a rated Mature game then thats that persons problem.

@MrZyorix

agree with you 100%, if a person kills because of being influenced by a game then there is something wrong with the person not the game

[CptCraigGM]

Agreed. Games are rated T-M for a reason. It is the PARENTS responsibility to make sure the kids are playing games good for their age. Also agree that it isn't the sole reason anyone starts a fight. There are more fights over worse things. Video games are a social network that parents don't quite understand yet. There are a lot of things kids can learn from video games that isn't all violence. Not going to lie Poke'mon taught me more about buy/sell then my teachers did

[TheYondaimeHero]

While this might be a late reply thingy I absolutely agree with you. Parents should definitely monitor what they get their children, in terms for video games for that matter. But then again, I can agree with the parent's perspective as well. Different from movies and books, video games offer more of an individual choice. So rather than watching Saving Private Ryan, you can be playing a guy in Medal of Honor killing people. Maybe the whole parents vs video game violence is about trust...

[neerGnayR]

um could be um if for example of um ah to ah let ah the types of games kill people... I'd say listening to these people murder spoken word is worse than killing in a video game.

[LaCokaNostra81]

video games kill more people the cigarettes and alcohol

[CptCraigGM]

If by kills more "players' you are correct. Kills more people? You sir are so incorrect it isn't even remotely possible.
