It seems that kids of today (and FPS developers) are making console games more fictional and more and more having to do with killing zombies/aliens or other fictional creatures, how does this fare in the eyes of "Video games make kids eat their lunch in jail" fiends?

I think through the media and a more lenient system of choosing games to play has corrupted Americans. Recently, I was at a Gamestop where a kid who couldn't have been much more than 12 was eyeing Halo 3 and saying,"Can I have that Mommy?"
You see death and you've never seen death before, you think how horrible it is, the blood, the gore, everything. You see death 28,543 times, you think death isn't a horrible thing, blood happens, people shot in the head on television, who gives a sh!t? Thanks to how loose our system of choosing media is, our society has grown to not caring about death, sex, gangs, guns, bombs, and war. Ask anyone from Iran or Pakistan what death is and I'll bet my life that they know what true death is, true pain. So here's a message to all people who treat corruption as a joke: STOP IT. Stop pretending like you have a grip because you play Halo 3+ hours a day. Cause death is a bitch. It's not a joke. Last edited by bluelight888; 12-15-2007 at 01:23 PM.. Reason: mispelled halo 3. |

The game is rated in such a way that the child -cannot- simply "choose" Halo 3 as media. It is up to the parent hearing the request to exercise something approaching due diligence in the raising of their offspring and actually -looking- at the game and its rating before buying it.
If the parent has decided that its okay for their kid, whose fault is it truly if the kid is adversely affected by it? |

You must be a liberal. I wouldn't think so. As long as your a mature person then no. But if a fourth grader is playing halo and all those Tom Clancy games etc. Then it just might. Eventually all they will think about is killing things and blowing things up. I know from experience.

You and I both can name members of each party that have issues. That's still no excuse for your broad generalization. Do not label people politically from their opinions, and don't use the "OH YOU MUST BE A LIBERAL/CONSERVATIVE/ATHEIST/BIBLE FREAK" argument here. It won't work. |

My little brothers play Grand theft Auto, I don't think them going around stealing any cars or punching random old people in the streets.

I agree with cobalt wire. It's not really video games, ive been playing violent vids all my life, it's all the parents fault, well mostly. Parents are a lot more slack these days and don't spank their kids and they wonder why they end up brats. Ever seen those parents with the pet collar thing on their kid? There's my proof lol. It does have to do with the media like cobalt wire said though, music, games, and especially music, all influence it, but that's below the parent level. If the parents were on top of it, then it would be fine, i think, but most arent', so that level takes over.

i don't think violence from video games are messing up our youth. I think kids should be smart enough to know that they should not do that in real life. I think it's more the medias fault for changing a kid.
kids see a REAL PERSON shooting people and getting away from the cops without consequences, and they think they can do that too because they saw a real person do it also, not a video game character. But you never know, kids this generation are stupid spoiled brats with things like "stupid spoiled whore video playset." |

truthfully, i dont think that its the games itself, its the type of kid before they play the games. The games just make it worse if the kids are already violent...

Okay guys, we're rehashing things for the second and third time now, so I think we're about done.
