Do games cause violence?

[YBG]

People who blame violence on games are just finding a reason to protect themselves from prison.

[FoSsiL]

they dont wanna say their kids are retarded so that blame it on something else.

Some people....

games do portray violence but no more than any movie that kids have access to. So just blaming the games for the kiddie violence in the world is just stupid. Especialy when the new games are taking responsibility and stamping proper age rating on games like it contains blood and gore, for 18+ etc.

I am not saying that i condone mindless game violence (like postal 2 that has the player ****ing on people). That is just senseless

Play The Suffering then ask your self the question again.

No.

I do get a little ****ed when the computer opponents can do everything so perfectly, you do the same thing, you crash. I end up having a bit of a temper tantrum on my keyboard.

...So that's why I go through so many keyboards :/

I've been watching violent movies sense I was 5 or 6. Playing violent games since I was 8. I'm 13, and the only time I really feel like kicking someone elses ass is when they attempt it w/ me.

Games make violent people violent. But then, what doesn't?

[golazo]

games only make me violent when i can't pass a level, or can't beat a team in a sports game. i chuck tantrums when it comes to that

[gazebee_]

it really depends on how u play it. for fun? for pleasure?

Yes when they re-shelf the game with the violence, sex, drugs, and rapes cut out of it and im the poor stooge who buys it at that moment, which makes me want to go back to the shop and ram the box down the guys throat and let him choke on it for taking my money without placing a warning on it saying "The new and improved kiddie version for ages 5 - 10 Years Old".

Games - No :)

Censored Games - Yes :angry:

Parents with bad genes who have given birth to a psyhco (which is the real reason behind wack kids going out on a shooting, raping spree) - No, just makes me laugh, don't have kids Fools realise your sperm is dangerous and your whole family time line were psyhcotics and were gifted with a bad gene pool :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My bad....... sorry.... i jumped to well..... forget it

[cold14]

yes but only to delinquents e.g. chavs

[Nherya]

i think yes, although all depends of the person. if you use to see violence at the games, you will see as normal to act in that way in the real life. its my opinion, but i mean about some kind of games like San andreas...

[shrike]

everybody THINKS about going nuts and killing people. It's just the way we are.

But it's only the people that have inherited, or conditioned to, violence that SOMETIMES go ahead with it.

That said... I don't think that games CAUSE violence. It was around long before games came about. (see: history).

[H5N]

In a way, yes, because today people are more exposed to violent viedo games, then say, they were ten or fifteen years ago. I think it does influence them in a way.

[E t h a n]

I think it's the other way around: violence causes games. (Not joking!)
