The Truth About Violent Youth and Video Games

[DarkLadyNyara]

Interesting note: Timothy McVeigh was never noted for playing video games, but was noted for being a decorated officer in the Gulf War. Maybe, and this is just a theory, that teaching kids that they can kill for the sake of nationalism is more likely to end in murder than telling them that they can kill for the sake of the 500 point bonus. Any thoughts?

I agree, but try to get congress, (or the white house) to admit that war causes more death and violence than GTA. Common sense isn't.

There was actually just an article in my new Game Informer today about this. If I get ambitious I'll type it.

The strong, steady voice of overwhelming fact in the face of ignorant scapegoating. I thank thee sir.

A very good point, and remember that online game release by the ARMY not so long ago. IT sucked and it flopped, but it was still used as a device to get people to register and join. Pathetic.
