Video Game Violence... True or B.S.?

[Greyfoxx]

okay, i have to do this thing for public Speaking class about video game violence

 

personally i think it's bullshit but thats just my thought.

 

so what do u guys think?

 

Does violent video games lead to teenagers becoming Violent or aggressive behavior?

 

do discuss!

[Scotty B]

BS it is a lot of crap violance has been around for fucking ages like in films and music and on Tv why is it that then a game ocmes out people think kids are gonna do the same thing like that kiud who killed someone with an axe to the head apparantly the kid was copying manhunt thats crap games cannot be blamed for the actions of people these days it is mostly the way they are brought up by the parents

[DarknessLover]

Total bullshit, Violence in school, is what leads to violence. They see two kids fight, and they want to fight, it's just the way to be cool, video games take no part of it.

[Sygy]

yes it does. Firstly, children play video games from a young age so they see violent images from an early age whish desentizes them and also emotionally makes them associcte being destructive with pleasure and fulfillemt (from when they like kill some and gain a point). Also, some people have like a 'violent side' in them and i believe video games could trigger it to show.

[The_dArkEst_dArk]

why are youngins playing violent games?

they should play games like... spongebob

 

but no, i dont think it makes wanna hit others and stuff..

[Victim]

I say its complete B.S.. I can remember watch my dad play DOOM, and even playing it alittle my self as a young child.. and then I had basically ever gaming system since them, including hand helds.. Not all the games were violent, the majority weren't.. But the ones that were in no way influenced my personal behavior.. If any ones says they were violent because they say it in a video game, are just tryin to get out of something they deserve.. Come up with another lame defense.

[Peterdea]

my opinion:

if they play it form a young age it may give them the idea that violence is a good thing... but then its whoever lets them play these violent ass games fault for that shit

[GraDoN]

i like games like counter-strike and other fps games but i guess some kids should not

[Scotty B]

like i said it is all to do with how kids are brought up BLAME THE PARENTS

[Stllmn8j]

It's bullshit unless you already had some sort of mental condition to begin with,but in most cases it doesn't cause any behavioral problems

[Friðbjörn]

It's a load of crap. Okay, people (/kids) have done violent things after playing some games or watching violence on tv, but it's not related. It's at people's own responsibility not to commit crimes. If anyone plays the games and copies them, they're either kids not mature enough, stupid, or sociopaths.

 

 

HOWEVER, if you're exposed to violence for a long time, for example on tv, it could lead to some sort of brainwashing. This is in my opinion apparent in the States for example. The bullshit media tell people nothing but news of terror alerts, breakins, murders, rapes, etc, so everyone gets pumped up full of fear into buying various crap, that people are made to believe will help them, from for example the "very evil and violent" male african-american age 20-30. How many times haven't you heard on the telly "suspect is a male african american"?

 

 

 

Now, back to the video games...unless it's long term brainwash, there's nothing wrong with the video games, once the kid reaches a certain age. And then again, long term use that boarderlines brainwash isn't the recommended usage, so people making video games are guilty of nothing.

[Jeezy]

I think if you already are depressive or something like that...a violent game could maybe give you some kind of inspiration of what you could do...

 

but if you are a normal intelligent person it shouldn't cause any damage

[Greyfoxx]

hehe, like most of u said, BS(for me)

 

This is why:

I've been playing video games for as long as i could remember, violent ones also. BUT! I had enough sense to figure out that this was just pretend and that i wasnt really hurting anyone. I figured out that it was fantisy and not reality. MOST People can do that. Those who cant have other problems than video games that are contributing to violence

[Scotty B]

the bottom line is 'Violent games dont make violent people'

[Greyfoxx]

Thats what i think, but loads of people are doing studies on it.....kinda getting annoying personally

[Scotty B]

all these studie will not prove anuthing each test will have different outcomes all the time there will never be an answer to any of this ever

[Person]

It all depends on the person who plays them.

Obviously, most of us who play video games on here have the sense to know whether it's real or fake. We can express ourselves. Others on the other hand, don't have much sense at all. It's these people who follow the examples video games tend to give them. It all comes down to ones intelligence.

[Greyfoxx]

Now they are saying that the school shooting is beacuse the person played GTA!!!!

[Scotty B]

BOLLOCKS it is NOT about games this shooting

[Greyfoxx]

I know, they said that about teh other shooting too (cant spell it)

 

they said it was because they listened to Manson and played violent video games

 

F-ing bullshit!

[Stllmn8j]

I know, they said that about teh other shooting too (cant spell it)

 

they said it was because they listened to Manson and played violent video games

 

F-ing bullshit!

 

That was Columbine,and they blamed Rammstein too

[Greyfoxx]

Yea, Columbine

 

In my Psy. Class we talked about that, but we think it WASNT because of the music or f-in games. Those kids had serious shit wrong with them

[Scotty B]

the whole lot it BULL

[candygirl]

Well, there were two kids who threw gasoline on some women as she was coming out of a store and lit her on fire and their reasoning was that they had 'seen it on a video game the night before'. So, I gotta say it's not complete BS. There is some truth to it.

[Greyfoxx]

No, it IS bs because they're just using video games as an excuse for their own actions. They needa grow the *f* up and take responsibility for thier own *f-ing* actions.

thats why parents are saying its the video games, so they can have an excuse for thier kids acting out. It couldnt be the *f-ing* parents' fault could it?! ?!
