The factors leading people to do such things are endless. I wouldn't say that people can't think for themselves if they think video games are the cause.

Let's face it, they certainly contribute.

But to leave it to just video games is horse shit and mindless.

Here's why:

In America especially, we are shown violent images every day. And it's considered "fine". In our American media, a naked human form is worse than murdering a person by forcing their body to inhabit battery acid till they dissolve and die. Movies are rated R for the sexuality more times than the violence.

Someone else, who I can't be bothered to quote, said that we all subconsciously like violence, and I'm forced to agree with that statement. I enjoy watching movies or anime even where there are violent scenes.

Now I'm not saying it's a reason for us to go shoot up schools. Please don't take that the wrong way. These people sicken me. Especially when it's children who have no idea that they're alive yet.
