I cannot speak with the aid of fancy graphs or charts that show anything, since i don't have them. i can only speak from what i know. I have been playign video games from the old Atari days to right now. Yet i have never taken a gun into a public place and started shooting people, nor have i planted bombs all over the place or cut off people's heads or anything like that.

So why are people even assuming that video games cause violence? There certainly is violence in games. Personally i would rather see blood coming out of some virtual person that i have shot, than no blood.

It makes me think of nerf, you all know nerf right? those crazy toys that are like guns but they just shoot harmless sponge arrows and balls and whatnot.

Heaven forbid you get someone a pellet gun that actually could cause harm, when you can get them something that causes no harm but desensitizes them to shooting at people.

I would never point any gun at someone unless that person is threatening me.

I know that guns hurt people, and i don't feel any overwhelming urge to hurt people.

In his tapes that gunman at virginia tech basically said that people were going to pay for treating him like that.

i hate to sound cold, but maybe they got what was coming to them. i mean if they tormented the poor guy every day, then yeah i wouldn't blame him for getting pissed off. i do think he overdid it. there was undoubtedly better ways of dealing with it he shouldn't have done what he did.

But then maybe they shouldn't have done what they did either.

Anyways this is about video games. i have been playing for quite some time. i have played the big "murder simulators" (doom, halo, half life etc etc) i was teased and tormented in school. yet i still have not killed anyone.

I think that there are other factors to consider. maybe video games did influence some people, maybe not, i don't know.

I just know that they haven't caused me, or many of the millions and millions of people who play them to go crazy and start shooting.
