If violent video games make people become violent in real life why

have I not gone out and started throwing footballs at people or trying to recruit them to my NCAA 07 team or draft them for Madden?

:shrug:

...You will...

I swear I was almost acquiring signs of psychosis, cause I was not feeling right with myself and felt a serious need to stay away from it. It was hurting my moral sense, I'm thinking...

But hell, who knows how much Doom I've played in my lifetime, and how much strategy/war games I have played: they do nothing to my mental stability. But the ones that kinda get you acquired to killing good guys or in the case of hitman, strangling people with piano wire... That's a little more than the others for me. But then again people have different reactions to different things.

...he never answers. I keep telling him I'm a great driver on NASCAR 06' for the PS2!!!

I used to be a social outcast, and I remedied that by playing video games. Halo was practically my religion.

I don't own any guns.

I've never killed anyone.

And I never will.

you can only kill so many people...
how come there aren't more love games :-)

That's called Porn.

Ted Thaggard's 'Meth and Manass' for the PSP!!!

or it's the sequel to Deliverance

I love shooting aliens in my first person shooter game.

:shrug:

It still makes me anxious.

climbing ladders and throwing barrels at Italian house painters. Should I get help?

Because it's revolting?? Aaah, like the mere thought of killing humans ought to be. Maybe. ??

enforcers. It makes them better shooters and more at ease with their confidence in being able to shoot someone. I think, over-all, with our horrible diet that can actually alter brain chemistry, the violence we watch and the method in which our government solves it's disputes through violence, I think it all contributes to the sickness of our society. The more callus and greedy in our society the greater his gains. We reward coldheartedness and glorify it in our stupid reality TV. We cater to the lowest denominator in our ranks.

bottom line. for all the reasons you mention and a lot more.

I say we get rid of books.

They're a disease.

and videos that TEACH them how to shoot and to be confident when they shoot. These videos, I'm guessing are hard core and may not be your average go to blockbuster and rent it types. I still think as a society we could have safeguards in order so that people like him do not fall through the cracks. In our consumer world where anything sells no matter the consequences we get mentally ill, confident shooters buying guns with a known record of being a hazard to himself and others.

When we let psycho-corporations own our governments, make laws to protect themselves and the bottom line, profit, we get a sick society that steps over the homeless, that doesn't care if children buy guns and ammo, that doesn't care if kids get sick and can't get health care. We have the society that is owned by psycho-heartless corporations that cannot be held accountable for the destruction of people and the planet.
