Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Although you may be right in a way about that, think about anything else that can be classified as an addiction. Say you smoke once, say you think its alright and it makes you feel good, well then you smoke again until you are up to 1 pack a week, and it keeps feeling good so you smoke one pack a day, and then even thats not enough so you keep going. Do you see how with these specific stimulations come a desire to have more? Sure it is a way to release anger, but if you keep playing it, soon you are going to want something thats a little more violent, and then a little more violent, until you want to act violent cause its better than watching it happen on a screen. Although it doesnt happen very quickly or it doesnt climb to that kind of extreme very often, it does happen and because of the stimualtions you want more. Not like i am defending the side against violent games, i am just pointing out an obvious string of events that happen quite often among other things of similar trends.

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Im not saying that all perents dont, Im happy to say that mine did and Im happy to see that yours did, too. what Im saying is that seeing mothers buy GTA for there 7 year olds is commen in my town. 4 year olds seeing R movies is even more so.
I have no solid proof that genarel perents dont take responsebility for there kids. but I see it all the time. Mabey what I should say is in my town they dont, but I challege you and every body else to count how many do and how many dont in your town and see what the bigger number is. |

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
When you say "all", it's a word that means "every single one"
Why did you say "all" if you even had a personal example proving it's not "all". There's a word for this kind of situation. It's "most". |

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
I love how they put all this propaganda crap on television and everyone in a forum for a Flash game site is just tearing it apart lmao.
Thanks a lot, I don't have anything to contribute now

You don't take the square root. The degree of variability accounted for is described by R^2. r=0.19 r^2=0.036, so 3.6% is accounted for. squaring the number would give you 40 something % actually...lol. Which means 96.4% of variability in violent children has not been accounted for...which is exactly why I don't really buy this too much. There could easily be another variable contributing to far more than 3.6%, which would make it unfair to put a blame on videogames.

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
I think that violent video games keep people off the streets that would otherwise have an urge to kill--where they can instead kill in a video game

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Not everyone lives in a ghetto area where being outside is a bad thing. Chances are, if kids are outside more then they will be healthier. You cant automatically assume that because they are outside that they will eventually get bored and want to kill someone.

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Well.. what Im trying to say is that if kids could get their aggression out by killing people in video games, its more likely that they wont want to kill anyone in RL cause of stress or w/e

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Heh, my math skills suck :-p. I knew that, I really did! I'm also lazy and didn't see a confidence interval.
I've seen plenty enough journals say they've found something in their abstracts, but when you actually read the article, you see something which makes what they say they found much less meaningful. |

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
THEY'RE FINALLY BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND! THIS IS AMAZING!
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/17/at...-esrb-ratings/ This was from three weeks ago. The Utah Attorney General made this ad to encourage parents to read the ESRB ratings and actually take part in their children's lives. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/07/cl...with-esrb-why/ This is going to happen today. Two of the biggest names in politics who used to attack video games as the cause of all crime among children (albeit the fact that there is very little compared to previous years) are going to make a public announcement with the ESA and the ESRB today at 3:00. I really wish I could be at home to see this. Anyway, this seems like a strange time to post this, but here's the finished essay. Quote:

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
And today my local news said that "The children that were playing violent video games had emotional changes. When the kids were given some tests, they had a harder time focusing and a harder time suppressing their emotions than that of the kids that played education video games."

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Well what were you expecting some educational video game to do... lmao
And wouldn't playing a game of football or something get you similarly riled up?

Re: Well, it happened again. Scientists are bashing video games.
Oh please. How many times do scientists have to bash video games, and how many times will I simply snicker at it?
I've been playing video games since I was three and I'm no worse off. Maybe I'm just not that impressionable, or these studies are all a load of crock. :P
