gamerevolution.com — sat down to write this article, and started doing some research. What I discovered startled me. I'm not sure I have the ability to write a totally serious piece - it is not in my nature to be serious, nor the nature of GR - but the issues are very serious indeed and the evidence is very real.

Unfortunately she also likes to watch sporting events, movies and of course Perry Mason (ok I made the last one up, but only because it goes along with old people and tv shows they love to watch). Plus she's old and who cares... let her watch what she wants. Hell she eventually got on board the Ron Paul bandwagon.

the argument you're making isn't valid, considering the context of what he writes. "First off, I have absolute proof that video games are not the cause of this epidemic of youth violence in America."His point isn't that video games do not cause violence, it's that there is no such epidemic plaguing society. The graph may not directly say that video games aren't a factor in crimes, but it gives the reader the knowledge that there isn't a surge of brutality in today's youth, that it is a fabricated lie used to control the populous into thinking a certain way.You are right in the sense that he has done nothing to prove whether video games cause violent behavior or not, but that isn't the focus of his article.

You make a good point, but the attention video games have been getting is the weak point to your argument. Violent movies are just as much a factor as violent video games, but there is hardly any fuss being raised about it. The list of factors that could cause a child to go "Columbine" is astronomical, but that isn't the point being raised. The lies and deceit set forth by our government to take down an industry is the argument.

It takes more than media to get a human to a point where they have the mental capacity to kill other people. Video games don't teach you how to hate other people, people do. Only people can make other people's lives miserable through bullying, ostracizing, and poor parenting. These are several things that the FBI have found to be common in many school shooting cases. We need to stop pointing the finger at CDs and cartridges and start realizing it is our own responsibility that we couldn't stop these tortured souls from harming others. Their lives had taught them not only hate others but to hate themselves as well, that is why in all those school shootings it just about always ends in suicide.

No I don't. I worked at a gamestop and I observed first hand how video games directly affected peoples attitudes. It is sick, and disturbing.
