I still find it odd that people don't believe that spending hundreds of hours shooting or otherwise killing people/animals/aliens/etc. influences behavior in some way.

Really it depends on the person/environment they grow up in. If anything bad parenting is more to blame than video games.


True, BUT videogames and media are part of the environment that they grow up in.


Anything can be a button, books, movies, news. We can't just remove all buttons, we just have to spot the people that get triggered by them the wrong way earlier.

True, but it doesn't mean you are going to become more violent. You might or might not. It really depends on parents to teach their kids what is and isn't appropriate to do in certain situations. Though parents tend to want to blame something other than their poor parenting.

/one study

So because it contradicts your notions that have literally no merit, you try to make some poor excuse to discredit it. K.
one study does not hold value, just as one scientific experiment doesn't.

Kids =/= teenagers

Small group of people over four years =/= majority of cases

Teenagers are the always the target of violence. Learn to pay attention. And learn how surveys are conducted. Try harder.
Yup, this is defenitely Rose.

You just said kids, but teens aren't kids.

And no survey can just get a perfect representation of everyone.

And since when were teens the ones always getting in fights? They aren't the ones serving in wars.

Okay, but that doesn't mean increasingly violent videogames aren't having an effect on maturing teenagers. It's not the sole factor, but it seems obvious that it's not exactly yoga or meditation.

True, but your argument also works both ways. Who is to say it isn't having a positive impact on them which outweighs the negative?

  • 12.19.2012 4:48 PM PDT

Also, just one possibility to keep in mind, although it may be wrong.

Do teens who develop violent tendencies play violent games because of such tendencies, rather than every teen who plays violent games developing violent tendencies?

Actually teens are kids it is just that most teens don't like to be called that since it is viewed in a negative fashion at that age.

You signed up on this website for Halo, which is a shooter. And you signed up about a month after I did.

Legendary Rose, stahp making alts and just get the hell out of here.

BTW, you really need to look at the facts then just to rely on one article.

Violent crimes have been decreasing while the sales of video games have been increasing

Also according to the FBI in 2009,The arrest rate for juvenile murders has fallen 71.9% between 1995 and 2008. The arrest rate for all juvenile violent crimes has declined 49.3%. In this same period, video game sales have more than quadrupled. The FBI statistics show that video game sales have been on the rise, while all juvenile violent crimes have fallen in the same amount of time. Looking at today's debate, you have to see that Pro shows with this evidence that the claim that video games cause violence is not backed up by reasonable statistics. Therefore, the claim is false.

BOOM ROASTED!

It was only a single study and 1 experiment on a few kids means that games will make all kids violent?

Nice fail quote. And my join date has nothing to do with the study. Keep looking stupid.


Dude, the only person who looks stupid here is you. No one on the Flood appreciates you and your many alts. We all you're just an alt controlled by Legendary Rose
