EPTPlease, never tell politicans that you can play games backwards, like rock music back in the 80's and that they become really evil this way, like rock music. :p

Instead of scrutinizing gun laws which is the most blatant issue, we're looking at video games which has been the subject of witch hunts for about a century now? Well yeah, the nra has more money to donate to candidates. This is getting old, but people want something to blame other than guns. | ||

I definitely think that there is a huge correlation between vidya games and the murderins. Between the vidya games, the news, vielant teleevision and the gays I don't know how everyone in society isn't a serial killer. derrr | ||

Socially isolated people tend to retreat to hobbies they can play alone, and gaming happens to be one of them. So, who's ready for some serious research on the impact of Chess vs yourself on your sanity? | ||

They will surely find a link between spree killings and masturbation; with most or all of the culprits being men, it's only a matter of time (not saying women don't "pleasure" themselves). | ||

plus Starcraft is a war simulation, same as CoD... they aren't about randomly shooting people for no reason. They tried to blame this stuff on GTA for years, until it became apparent it wasn't the case. Now they are just moving to different games. Gaming makes u less likely to do something like this cause you can take out your fucked up frustrations in a safe environment. I do this whenever I get angry with my gf.... jump on Saints Row 3 and fuck shit up without care for who or what i blow up, shoot, knife or otherwise kill in some nasty and bloody fashion. After 10 minutes I feel great and have no desire to hurt anyone. | ||

"Newsflash: This quiet teenage boy played VIDEO GAMES. Can you believe it?" Also I'm not even sure why they mentioned Starcraft in particular. It seems like the last game to promote violence in young people, and hell, the name doesn't even sound menacing. You know, I'd really like it if, every time somebody contributed something positive to society like donating millions of dollars to charity or winning a Nobel Prize, they wrote a report that said, "We went through this man's belongings and found a Diablo 3 box! Playing video games must make you a successful genius!" | ||
