I think the guy makes a good argument, but is totally wrong in what he says. The military are a group of people who all have relatively the same characteristics. One of them being the will to kill. If that group's mind can be changed my suck a simple game, then how many gamers will fit the criteria to be transformed into a cold-blooded killer? Not many. Even if GTA changed their mind on killing, sense would overcome their urge to murder. By that time, the number of people that played GTA, decided it may not be too bad to kill, and rationalized that thought, there may be 1/1,000,000. Thanks for playing Mr. Glenn Beck.

P.S. This is rubber...

I hope that Jack Thompson doesn't see this. He'd be on Could Nine.

Actually Jack Thompson is being interviewed in part two.

I also agree with what you say Weavile. I love how the guy makes a claim saying this is turning kids into murderers. I mean if they're so worried about kids getting this game they really shouldn't be selling it to kids under 17 anyway, so the sellers are at fault at this part.

I think this video fits in quite well IMO.

Well, the thing is that its not really the people selling the games, its the people that are buying the games for them. Around here, you have to be 18 to buy M-Rated games, and they don't ask why. So it could be that also.

My belief is that the games and the violence in the games change little or nothing.
Violence is caused by the buyer. I've been noticing more and more these days that there are so many idiots in our society. Quite a weird word to use in serious discussion but I see no better word. These mad men naturally go for violent games like Grand Theft Auto, as well as many other people. If there is a queue for this kind of game you get a gathering of these creatures. Obviously, when you get a large crowd like this, you get violence.
So what a game like Grand Theft Auto does, is gather the crime together. I believe that it does not affect people's minds. A violent game does not change things, I believe, any gathering of violent people and you can easily find trouble. I don't think it increases the amount of crime after the purchase of the game.

I'll watch this later, but I predict it's the old "Video games cause violent behavior" argument involved.

Truth is, in a comprehensive study, it was deduced that people who play video games on an active basis are generally less violent than those who don't. Just watch the thing Jiya posted, it was a pretty deep study.

Do you think that Jack Thompson would give a damn? I actually wish I could clock him in the face with a shovel.

in teh uhhh gwand feft awto i saw a gui blo up so dat means i can du it cuz its nu different rite?

Video games don't cause violence but they are a contributing factor, and that's indisputable.

This. I know a couple of 10 years olds that got the game because of their parents
