In a recent study it was found that juvenile homicide arrests are actually down a whopping 77 percent from 10 years ago.

well duh
imo kids that have violent personalty's are attracted to violent games not the other way around
 
WHAT A SHOCKER!!!! /sarcasm off, but seriously, it's good that people are starting to at least make articles that are pro-videogames/neutral-videogames instead of all anti-videogame ones.
 
"Video games make kids into killers" sells more newspapers :(. IMHO, this is what it comes down to.
 
wait....someone who doesnt have their head up their ass....it cant be :)

and actually....i think we are starting to get to a point in time where gamers are actually getting old enough that they can actually do something about alll of this anti-gaming crap. oh wait...that means im getting old too, since im a pretty old school player :(
 
Easy explanation: Playing violent games mean that kid let off some steam in the cyber world instead of in real life.

/thread
 
I'm sure once Grand Theft Auto IV comes out we will start seeing the bad news articles again...

The 2 senators from my state(not my fault don't blame me), Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer will start sqwaking about banning violent video games becuase GTA depicts acts against women and blah blah blah....
 
Don't forget that idiot who can't decide which party he is a part of...Lieberman. That douche needs to take his whining voice elsewhere.
 
I dunno why I care though. I don't have any kids and I'm an adult. I shouldn't give a fuck, but I do. Meh
 
I have a kid,and I dont care,I have yet to see anything in any of my PC games that I would have a problem with her seeing.

OMFG please don't use foul language like that! That's almost as bad as saying "Strom Thurman" in public.

Funny how studies/articles keep showing this and yet Hillary and others still get millage out of the "violence in video game thing." Honestly, I don't care if my kid was watching Barney, the issue isn't the content its that some many kids are latch key kids being raised by media, any media: TV, games, DVDs, etc. Hell how many parents do you know that use Disney DVDs to replace actually playing or talking with their kids? They should be more concerned about the 10 year old kid that has a DVD, Playstation and internet connection in his room. The state of the family today reminds me of a mass version of Dr. Harry Harlow's experiments with monkeys.

lol

oh noes. but its true. i think if these idiots spent more time on real issues instead of trying to regulate video games or add a 5 sec delay to live programs so we don't see janet jackson's titty again, this country would be in a lot better shape than its in.
