Data and evidence proving that video games have not had an effect on "youth violence rate increases".

Data is pulled straight from the DOJ's own statistics bureau...

I'd like to give a hearty FUCK YOU to the media and any ignorant dipshit believing that drivel, ever.

[Harrison]

I particularly love when he shits on a number of articles/sites in specific...

The lowest levels ever recorded. In other words, the Playstation era has, in fact, produced the most non-violent kids ever. But I thought video games were training children to kill? I’m sure I read something like that here and here and here and here and here and here.

Each "here" is a link in the article.

The problem with statistical data is that given the correct spin you can make it say anything you want.

You're wrong Harrison... everytime I play counterstrike followed by a heapin dose of GTA pr0n I go out and beat old women and kids. I love crime...I'm pretty sure its the video games that make me do this or the fact that I'm black. Not sure really.

Video games are bad mmkay?

The Aug 6-12 Economist has a cover story on video game-related violence. Title is: "BREEDING EVIL? The real imact of video games."

I haven't read it yet, but the table of contents says "Critics of video gams say they encourage addiction and violence, but research does not support the claim."

Few facts

Ralf- You aren't a black man, you are just hung like one.

Video games don't make bad kids-bad parenting makes bad kids.

I am sunburned.

The End.

A liberal administration would never, ever pander to the idiots amongst us by sensationalizing violence and sex in games...

[Zanchief]

for the most part.

for the most part.

It's neither a conservative nor a liberal issue. It's a stupid motherfucker issue. Unfortunately, we have more of those than either conservatives or liberals...

[Zanchief]

It's a stupid motherfucker issue.

So you agree it's a conservative issue.

[Tuggan]

all i gots to say is... Tipper Gore.


i think the 'liberal' side tends to be more about the censorship on entertainment.

[xaoshaen]

It's a stupid motherfucker issue.

So you agree it's a Canadian issue.

Yes, yes I do.

Here's a quote from the last paragraph of the article in The Economist:

Like rock and roll in the 1950s, games have been accepted by the young and largely rejected by the old. Once the young are old, and the old are dead, games will be regarded as just another medium and the debate will have moved on. Critics of gaming do not just have the facts against them; they have history against them, too. "Thirty years from now, we'll be arguing about holograms, or something," says Mr. Williams.
