Many instances of school shootings, bombings, or killing is often pointed at video games as the cause, but is it really their fault? Just because a game allows you to kill civilians does not mean that someone will want to do it, I have recently had a discussion with a friend who saw on the news that the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, was to blame for the recent Russian bombing because the game has a level where you are able to kill civilians in a Russian airport. [url=http://www.inquisitr.com/96636/russian-media-pins-blame-for-suicide-bombing-on-call-of-duty-game/]

The video games that allowing innocent killing does not mean they support it. How a person is raised and treated growing up is why they would even consider this, which most kids have enough commen sense to know, you cannot "restart" or "respond" in life. I strongly disagree to the idea that video games are the cause of most killings today.

I don't know about other people, but I love coming home after a stressful day at working and beating the heck out of some old people in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It actually makes me less violent than I would be without video games. (:

Nope. Because we all know everyone is too full of themselves to actually blame themselves so they will blame something they do not like as an excuse. Two birds with one stone.

now think how many of your friends and neighbours are cereal killers who kill people???

I'm personally not a cereal killer, but I know many friends who like to kill some cereals for breakfast.

I don't know what that has to do with anything with the topic at hand, but why do you think the world was created perfectly?

No, because most of these guys that go out and shoot up there friends and teachers are tested and confirmed phycopathic, but they might be encouraged by violent video games.

Video games just influence you without you thinking; but in serious cases yes it can make people want to go on a rage and kill a whole lot of people.

Not necessarily. Many of them--especially among teenagers--are known to have emotional distress/life issues/etc. Usually it is not a case of psychopathy.

Those are psychiatric disorder. And all those factors can make a kid go kill a bunch of people. It's not simply a life issue when you start to spread death everywhere. So yes, they would be phycotic

Video Game haters need to see stuff like Flower or Little Big Planet. The old saying "Guns don't kill people. people kill people." can apply to video games. "Violent games don't kill people, people kill people." Violent video games are stress relievers for the vast majority of people, inspiration for few.

Naah, maybe it does, some people who don't understand that it isn't a video game will probably try it. But it is just a video games and little children play games when they have to kill the enemy's. So... No it does not cause people to kill. (maybe it does)

I think, that videogames may cause some people with mental illnes to go kill everyone (if this illnes or abnormalities or not normal condition of mind (?)). But for normal people it can't affect. But, maybe, this accident in Norway ( if I don't err), when one man did 2 acts of terrorism, and after his catch, admitted, that he was training his skills at CoD MW2. (sorry for mistakes, I'm not good in English)

I thought this was already ended because we came to a concluson that people dont infact get influenced by the game so they would actualy go and kill people.

he was training his skills at CoD MW2.

I seriously dout that he did that since I don't think he could use his "last stand" perk or nuke in RL. Also I don't think pressing buttons on a controler could qualify you for firing a gun in the RL.

))).Oh, I only said, that he admitted, that he was trainig his skills, but a few days after accident, experts recognized, that it was lie, and that man can't use skills or techniques, using in MW2
