Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on July 21, 2005, 02:22:15 AM Tell me about it. You know what the real problem with videogame violence when it comes to children - the parents themselves!!! I wouldn't be surprised if some if not all of the members of that group have actually bought games for their kids. Must have been their periods or PMS. :lol:

Title: Mavav Post by: Eufnoc on July 21, 2005, 11:51:33 PM lol thanks paris
Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on August 14, 2005, 09:50:53 PM If they do become real, I would be most outraged. It's the parents' fault to begin with, and they should be punishing themselves.
Title: Mavav Post by: Tiberious726 on August 14, 2005, 11:16:52 PM for many of these problems i blame rockstar(evil, evil company almost as bad as microsoft...) ... some games are just stupid BUT unless someone was already prone to violence then i doubt serverly that a game would make then go and kill people, i play games that are considered violent but i don't kill people... and i doubt that anti video game fanatics (there is no other word for them) have played said games and therefore are just jumping on the band wagon (and yes i do realize that i am probably preaching to the choir :) )
Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on August 15, 2005, 12:40:52 AM Good point. I'll keep that in mind.
Title: Mavav Post by: Skitzeh on August 16, 2005, 02:59:39 PM Video games don't make people violent, lag does.
Title: Mavav Post by: Eufnoc on August 16, 2005, 03:00:25 PM lol, i remember a quote from a chat room i go in,
" you can't blame videogames for violence, its like blaming spoons for fat people" Title: Mavav Post by: Skitzeh on August 16, 2005, 03:15:11 PM loool. :D
Title: Mavav Post by: Optec on August 16, 2005, 03:23:13 PM Hehe, yep. I think Eufnoc's quote is right.
On the other hand we do also blame drugs for making people addicted, even if it was their choice in the beginning if they wanted to take them or not.. After all the whole "Baaad computer games" story is just a "fashion" at the moment. they will calm down sonner or later :) I don't think the gamind industry, being quite important at the moment, would let themselves get into hurry cause of some little serial killers. Sounds harsh, but i think thats reality. Sex sells, violence sells.. its a problem of mankind, not of the game industry well now we would have to start a very ethic discussion which can not be answered clearly.. ah yep, a difficult topic :blush: Title: Mavav Post by: ewm90 on August 16, 2005, 03:35:11 PM its a reacering agrumant that gose ferther back be for vido games.
movies and comic books wher balmed for crupting kids at one pont. evin the telaphone was called a cruption of society. i sher evin when the weel came out pepal thot it whood be used for pervted or degenerate perpuses. Title: Mavav Post by: Eufnoc on August 16, 2005, 03:39:42 PM i blame the amish!!!
Title: Mavav Post by: ewm90 on August 16, 2005, 03:48:36 PM but in all fare ness thare is a problom called viedo game Addiction it is a real problom the psychology world is doing research on it and meny difrant treetmants and programs are being stated to help deel with it.
but on the uther hand when have you ever seen a rating on beer like you seen on veido games? veido games are a problom but thay dont kill pepal. http://www.theparentreport.com/resources/a...ulture/130.html (http://www.theparentreport.com/resources/ages/preteen/kids_culture/130.html) Title: Mavav Post by: Eufnoc on August 16, 2005, 04:19:33 PM lol this game has an pleasure volume of 60%
Title: Mavav Post by: Casper on August 18, 2005, 11:37:33 AM I'm a video game addict, and i play some of the bloodiest, most gut wrenching, "Evil" games that people say are a corrupting influence. now, true i might spend about 40-50 hours a week on my computer but that just means i wouldn't have time to go around killing people even if i did have the desire to do so. which i don't. and that seems to contradict what politicians and anti-violence fanatics are preaching. if you don't want you kids to play violent games, then actually go out and watch them when they're shopping. and don’t try to ban everything that you find distasteful, that just isn’t anyones call to make.
Ya I know, preaching to the choir. I’ll stop now Title: Mavav Post by: Cpt Ryan on August 18, 2005, 01:42:44 PM without games like unreal tournament there would be nothing to relieve stress. the people who go out and murder a few people after playing a game are obviously just nutters, there was a killer inside them before they started playing the game :wacko: . nowadays life is quite violent, so why not ban people from living if they grow up in a tough neighbourhood :mad: .
violent video games DON'T make people violent, its the people who try to ban them that do :shifty: Title: Mavav Post by: ewm90 on August 18, 2005, 03:16:25 PM in the hyer case video game adition can scrow up your life. it coses you to loos intrests in a soshal life, you will have less fisacal ativaty, you will be late to obligations you will have, makes it hard to hold a job or get good grades in scool.
vedio game adiction i was told can all so bring on depretion exacerbates the problem. vido games are a good thing thay can inpove moder futions, and hand eye cordination but in modration. Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on August 18, 2005, 06:17:14 PM They are a good way to relieve stress, and I can say by experience that they do nicely in that respect.
As I've also said before, parents are to blame. Title: Mavav Post by: ewm90 on August 18, 2005, 07:23:28 PM its not about blam or hows folt it is. all i am saying is evry thing in modration.
Title: Mavav Post by: Eufnoc on August 19, 2005, 12:46:28 AM well its the same as alcahol, if you don't have enoug self control to stop addiction, don't drink it, if you ain't got enough self control to stop VG addiction, don't play them ;)
Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on August 21, 2005, 04:15:07 AM As William "Fatner" I mean Shatner said, "get a life." I'm saying this in terms of those who play well beyond moderation. One could eventually become looney and believe in the stuff in games.

I'm fine B) it's these guys you gotta lookout for :guns: :lol: :badgrin: :shuriken: Title: Mavav Post by: EccentricDonald on August 21, 2005, 08:49:16 AM Agreed. That's why there are police officers in real life.
