scientists saying games influence kids isn't always true.
1] Im wierd without playin videogames.
2}Games actually make me happy and war or fighting games let me exeret my anger and be peaceful.
3}If games influenced kids, we'd b ruynnin around darek rooms, listenin to techno and eatin magic pills.

Sorry. I think it's stupid stupid stupid. People who make unfounded claims like this should be drug out into the street and shot. OH NOES I'M VIOLENT IS IT BECAUSE OF VIDEO GAMES?!
Seriously. If a kid's totally bat[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] crazy enough to go on a killing spree, I don't think it makes a difference if he plays a violent game or not. They're making broad, sweeping generalizations and not taking into consideration background or previous signs of mental problems.
Its all rubbish too me
*plays manhunt*
*goes out with big knife*
Hsu said how I feel.
I hate when people blame how they act on music and video games. It's like when those kids from Columbine blamed their actions on Marilyn Manson. I don't listen to him, but god, that's stupid.
Everything has an effect on you. Why should video games be exempt? You guys are only defending video games because you enjoy them. You defend things you like. Now what if I said deep religious study alters your state of mind? OH YEAH, THAT'S TRUE! The point is video games do alter you as a person, most of the time not the extent that you'll go out and commit crimes, but they do alter you.
Well, if "new science stuff" says so, then it's gotta be true!
All this "Video games alter you" is a smoke screen. It's NOT playing them that alters you!
I think fans of videogames do often defend them too blindly. I don't believe it's possible to play a game like Grand Theft Auto or Manhunt or Doom and not be affected. I think it's totally bull when people blame their actions on video games, but someone who already has a tendency towards violence could be swayed, maybe just to small extent, by violence in the media.
