[QUOTE="TheTrystero024"][QUOTE="D0013ER"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"][QUOTE="farnham"] Seriously.. How much did GTA sell.. Like 15 Million... right..?
Now if you think about it.. About 10 to 20 people who played video games also did massacres.. (like Cho Sung Hi or that guy from Columbine and stuff)
Now out of 15 million people. and even more if you count in Halo , Doom, Half Life and other shooters.. as well as Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and what not.. only a handful killed people and the rest is potentially dangerous now..?
What kind of logic is that.. ???
Now add all the people drinking alcohol and beating up people, committing crime or what ever and compare it to the people drinking alcohol....
Umm i doubt the ratio will be much lower...
So why do gamers get all that blame and people drinking some beer or wine occasionally get.. what.. nothing...
where is the logic in this world... god..

Childish logic. Columbine incident was more than enough to censor gaming. When will you gamers talk the responsiblity? That's right majority of you all or at a stage called "self identity vs. the world"
That had influence from the movie matrix
even the suicide note mention DOOM...
So Doom kills people? If so I should've been dead 12 years ago.
I played Doom before.........yet I haven't killed a person to this day. Wow....the columbine shooters needed conseling and psychological help. They were somehow not in touch with reality. They thought that shooting all this people will make all their problems go away. any individual who commits mass murder needs conseling. No sane person wakes up one day and says "Hmmm, my life needs a new change of pace. How bout i go shoot up my high school."
politicians make it seem that everyone who plays violent games and listens to heavy metal is a dangerous person. I listen to death metal, and i love playing FPS's. Does this make me a threat to society?...
In the eyes of right wing conservatives....IT DOES.
What makes me angry is that people like Thompson just generalize people. Just because the columbine shooters played videogames, it doesn't necessarily mean that videogames has totally influenced these guys just to go crazy and murder. These shooters just took everything out of context. I remember watching the National Geographic Channel show about Columbine. One of the shooters showed a lot of interest in the concept of natural selection. He even thought of Darwin's work as a brilliant way to eliminate the weak. "Survival of the Fittlest" This guy totally took Darwin's theory out of context. The shooter thought that only the strongest must survive. He thought that WEAK should be eliminated. This proves that there are many factors other that might have influenced their rampage.
