I play violent games often, and It doesn't effect me. I'd say movies are more prone to make us more violent than games. I think it depends on your environment and how clean your mind is.
Video Game Violence... True or B.S.?

Psychology is a major player in this, the ability to distinguish right from wrong is absent in many of the people that get involved in things like this. The media isn't a big player they just spread the word to people that didn't know it was going on to begin with, yes I will give you rappers such as Tupac and Biggie influenced a lot of INTEREST in gang activity but to go so far as to say the influenced people to join I don't think so. A gang is a "family" they have certain order and people that lead much like an army they are mostly joined by emotional similarities (I.E. divorced parents, broken home, poverty) but again people say because gangs are moving into their streets/states that it's because of the media, but moreso they are being pushed out of their home and setting up somewhere they know they can make more money.
Violence in video games or any other media type doesn't necassarily push violence but more opens voids to what one was thinking of doing in the first place, it doesn't put the thought in a person's mind it just reminds them of the thought.

I'm not going to chop up your post UMO only because I'm going to change my opinion slightly without really changing it. 
Ok, first off just incase later on you become confuse by what I am saying let me make this clear playing violent games doesn't make some kind of violent freak. It might mean you have a tendency to enjoy violence which is not a bad thing. We all need a little violence in our life to vent and release stress. ****, I loved playing Duke Nukem 64, San Andreas, Manhunt and whatever other games that involved killing. But see, you have to think of it from a different stand point. I strongly doubt anyone, unless they have mental instability, will play a game; watch a movie; or listen to a song and then say hey yea maybe I should go kill people. I think watching violent things has more of a subliminal affect on the brain. Like it stores itself in a cabinet and just waits for an opening. When a person finds thierself in a desperate moment the violent nature presents itself. Granted it wont be in the image of you running around in cheesy cheap 3d graphics with a sawed off shotgun, but I think the imagery combines itself to mold into your own vision. If that makes any sense. I don't think violent forms of media cause people to kill, I do however think they are some what a foundation for a possible violent way of life if people are drawn in that direction.
People who directly blame their problems on a form of media are probably lieing. I agree with you guys on that topic because I mean it's an easy scapegoat. But there is no doubt in my mind that a lot killers draw their inspiration either directly or indirectly and unintentionally from media. Holy War said it better than me...it does open voids and kind of can help give a motherly nudge to an already disturbed kid.
This is not to say Video Games and Movies are the only forms. Obviously things like the Iraq War and humanity itself influence a person to act in such a way. Video game violence merely is just another stepping stone
hope that was a little bit better of an explanation.

I dunno, maybe...
I had some PETA people on my *** because I jumped on a turtle.

And then, I decided I'd take a sword and slice a huge pig in half.

I don't suppose that I play really violent games.

well, i think its bollocks, but not completely, obviously MOST normal people play games for FUN and ENTERTAINMENT, while others....well use it in other means, because people take it too far, they get "bored" f games, or want to expierience something else and go for the real thing....or theyre pyscho depressed, cant vent themselves in the game and resort to real life stuff. games are only but ONE means of violence, music,media,bad parenting(ie abuse), alcohol,depression,drugs...etc are ALSO other means
a small minority ruining it for the rest!

Crazy people play video games. The games did not make them crazy. They were already crazy.
Oh, and studies show that video games are great outlets for otherwise unacceptable behavior...like VIOLENCE. I personally am a much more peaceful person because for several years now I have safely been shooting fake guns in a meaningless game.
People need to shutup and play. I love pwning the loudmouth nubs the most.
"omfg u hax0r!"
"pfft."

well, actually, I think games isnt only the reason for lots of teenagers (and not teenagers but with a childish mind) have a bad behaviour. I think it's depend on many factors: family, education, TV (dont forget the crazy box!!! ) and so on. Sincerely, I dont know what is worst: to let your little son with seven years to play a computer game like "Resident Evil" or "Armaggedon" or to let him to see a movie which the plot is only weapons, blood, bad words and **** images??? You see, what is worst: to play a war game or just to have the war in your own home between your own parents? Sincerely, and between both cases, I prefer to be hurt in a virtual reality than in my own life!! After all, in the first case, you just only need quick skills and a good mind for differentiate both worlds.

i'm a mother of three and i don't let my kids play violent games, not because i think it will make them violnt but because i don't think its suitable for a 12, 11 and 9 year old to be looking at stuff like that. i also think that playing violent games has nothing to do with kids being violent, its the parents. if you bring your child up to know the diffrence between right and wrong they become balanced human beings. kids know that what they see in these violent games isn't what you do in real life, they know that there are conciquences for their actions.
so yeah i think its a load of bull that playing violent games leads to violent children.

Well, I guess that disproved the point about videogames and violence. It seems some people can't find the difference between reality and fantasy. Pity. Only someone who's really stupid would think that I was actually talking about hurting animals.
It's a **** video game. It's a Joke. Clearly you've never played Mario or Zelda. So get off my *** before I go super pwnage on you, and I really don't want to do that.

O.O someone has a sense of humor on LPF?
@Greyfoxx: Hush. Don't rent-a-mod. And stop being elitist.... "My Thread" you don't own it, you don't have moderation powers in it, who are you to say what can and can not be said in it? I put my relevant 2 cents in and got griped at. So I'm the one to get yelled at?
I see LPF hasn't changed a bit.

K guys, ref has the right to joke and say what he wants, as long as its on topic, which it ways.. I personally found what he said to be a bit funny because I knew what he was talking about. Had he been referring to real animals I would have gotten upset, too, as I love animals.. but it was a JOKE.. All of you need to stop getting on each others cases over a JOKE, if you don't like it, don't read it, and ignore it. everyone has their own sense of humor, and that was refs.
And, the elites are not ganging up on you ref, so please chill out.. and don't stop posting in here.
Everyone needs to just stop getting upset over little jokes. Any more negative posts about this subject will be deleted as soon as I see them, please guys, behave. this is your warning.
