Danger: Do videogames make people violent?
Yes. What was once a debatable question, is now fact. New research has concluded that videogame violence and behavior related violence are in fact closely related.

Danger: Do videogames teach people how to kill?
Yes. When videogames were linked to the Columbine high school shooters, a frenzy of new research was launched, in which, one team of researchers discovered that first person shooter games do indeed teach gamers with the basic knowledge of how to kill. This research arrived be so conclusive that the U.S. government Army developed a free videogame to be used as a virtual boot camp and killing simulator.


I love how they list these "facts" without any creditable resources or sources.

Where are their forums? :)

But honestly though, they do have a point. Before videogames, people never killed eachother. All those wars and crap you hear about in school are nothing more than a liberal conspiracy.

edit: Im still new at this, what am I doing wrong with my sig?

Gaming addictions are real. All parents need to sack up and keep an eye out for any harmful addiction their children may fall into. Whether it's drugs, fighting, or eating; it makes no difference. The rest of the site is crap but thanks for sharing Flip, I had a few laughs.

And the newest absurdity, underground videogame cultures which takes gaming to another level, tainted with online "clans", singling out of people, hatred, racism, and sexism.


Because we all know this stuff just doesn't happen in the real world :mad:

I swear personal responsibility is just non existent anymore.

I didn't want to kill, I was conditioned to kill by video game culture!!

When did children become these fragile moronic lemmings? Christ, I remember when I was a little kid throwing stainless steel lawn darts with/at my brothers and sister. Who do I blame for the scar on my ass from those things? Should my parents have sued milton brothers because the board game culture or bugs bunny cartoons had programmed me to be violent??

A study loosely based on anecdotal evidence suggests that these people need to find a real cause to satisfy their boredom/lack of a life.


/Rant off

Personally I have a friend who failed out of college becasue of EQ. But what a dip shit, obviously he didnt have the fear of God put into him from his parents at an early age.

These moms should be teaching their kids better morals and family values, rather then trying to stop thier kids from playing video games. its not the games that make these kids fucked up its the lack of attention and love they are getting in their homes.

*****Do videogames teach people how to kill?*****

They say, yes.

Even the most moronic of life forms know how to kill.

Was the first man on Earth taught how to kill?




I dont think so.
