Games Causes Violence, Right?

Journal Entry: Thu Mar 12, 2009, 9:07 AM
  • Mood: Hysterical




Ok, I'm pissed.

Some of you have heard (not sure about you people in the US, but at least the people in Europe) of the school masacre in Germany that happened recently. A 17 year old boy shot students, random bypassers and even the police force.

Fucked up, yes.
And now, what do the media do? For Christ sake, they need someone to blame. You know what I read online "The boy played the game Counterstrike".

Of course it's the game's fault. Of course it is. Don't mind the fact that boys like him have few friends, have parents who abuse them, are bullied every day at school, watch the fucked up world every day on the evening news, face the hypocrite of religion. No, nothing of this could screw up a human being, it was nothing else but the game.

I am sick and tired of hearing the media and politicians blaming a game, A GAME! There's something seriously wrong with kids who go and shoot their fellow students. They can't blame the parents, the school or even the kid himself; no it's the game that fucked him up.

Games does NOT create blood-thirsty maniacs. The kids know the difference between fantasy and reality, they're not stupid.

Stop blaming the games, you turds!!!

:lmao: Thank you. The world is full of fucking retards that just can't seem to grasp just that. :P Games don't cause those problems! :lol: What idiots. :no:
May I ask you a question? Your journal is the first one that I've seen use the same idea I had of the scrolling box. :aww: Can you give me the code to that for my journal? I seem to be having difficulties figuring it out. :lol:

Totally agree. Society just doesn't want to take any accountability when it comes to these types of things. Blaming it on a game is just a way to make the people who are really responsible (ie parents, peer, whatever) feel better about themselves.

It's sad how they don't understand...

playing violent games is the only thing that STOPS some people from going nuts and doing that.

Oh my another story about blaming game for the child behavior how childish. My kids will be playing video games and they will know from reality to fantasy etc.... i agree with with adra-praeclarus people are paying attention to the kids. They take video games as entertainment and sometime as babysitting cause it keeps kids quiet. oh well the world is going to be doom someday and they will blame video games lol.

I TOTALLY AGREE. Don't worry, we Americans see this argument a lot, especially coming from the state of California.

And I totally agree with everything you said. I know I could add a LOT more onto this rant, but I'm not in the mood.
But you're right.
People need to not only understand the difference between fantasy and reality, but right and wrong. *nods head*

The logic isn't complicated. At all.
How many kids play Counter Stirke?
Okay, keeping that number in mind, how many kids snap and shoot people?

Yeahhh, totally the game's fault. There couldn't possibly be a more important factor.
No sir.

I've heard things like that here in the U.S how they're saying they are wanting to ban violent video games because of reasons like this. But no, they won't do anything about housing situations where parents are abused and such.

Usually, it's either blame the media, or something stupid like that here.
