After watching this interview I decided to discuss the topic here with you all. Do you agree with Jack Thompson that all videogame violence will affect all teens an maybe children negatively who play it? I vastly disagree It is just stupid to think that a single game could destroy our civilization and how other things that influence violence get ignored. I heard from the news before that unrated movies can be purchased by anyone since they don't have a rating so yeah a 9 year old could by a movie that might have a few nude scenes., but is there frivoulous debates about that and viloent movies? NO!
Many others cause much more of an influence on children like how the way they were raised, the neighborhood they grew up in, violent books. I mean it's just really frivolous to imply a few viloent videogames will influence the majority who play it that they'll become violent. I'm not saying that no one is influenced there may be a couple of crazy people that might mimic murders and crimes from videogames, but I can assure you that most people who play them don't be doing the monkey see monkey do. the government just doing this just hide away from a lot of their other problems like the situations that people live in the ghettos and the slums, now that's way more influential than games.
