Thank you so much! I've reached a dead end, and this'll definately help me!

If you're trying to be funny, it's not working. Don't write things that have nothing to do with what I'm asking.

That'd be great. Thanks for the help.

For one dont double post and for hell dont triple post. You just committed a mortal sin and violence that isnt cause from video games could be on your horizon.

But any like i have said it isnt violence in video games that causes the society to be violent. Instead it is natural insintict. Some people tend to be violent for fun or some other cause. Games shows them violence but it isnt telling them to go out and do it. Rather than it can influence them at times but it mainly comes down to the way society is treating the individual. Their mind can be unstable and video games are their only way out of the harsh reality of their lives. Parents need to be able to comfort their child so violent nature doesnt arise. So violence can cause this mainly because this is all the kid sees but most children arent playing video games nonstop and are pushed out of society like an outcast.

I would say only about 1% of our violence in the world is caused by video games. And i dont say even video games is the direct cause to that 1% instead there are millions of other factors that help cause that violence.

Violent video games are NOT a cause of violence in society: unless people have no common sense, then they should know that they are not supposed to emulate the things they see in a violent game. As for the aggression in teenagers, I think the only way that is true is when they get angry at a video game because they can't do something in it :D

No it doesn't.
People just say that because it's easy to blame video games than to actually look deeper than that. They also make huge deals about the cases of people who were angry anyway and played violent video games to release their anger. And thus they blame violent video games automatically. And the cases where kids can't tell the difference between reality and video games? Chances are that's because their parents haven't told them that, and that is still a tiny minority.

If anything, I think violent video games would be an outlet for people with repressed anger that would otherwise be dished out on someone else. I'd rather they run over the public of GTA IV than the public of the real world.

Video games are a target of this oppression b/c they're interactive and you are in control of the violence. However there are movies and shows on basic cable that seriously rival games in violence. It's a joke how ratings and censorship are organized. Like for instance, why is that once you hit age 17 you are able to play a game with guns when a week ago you couldn't walk into Gamestop and nab a copy of GTA IV?

Honestly people have to stop blaming violence on video games.

Columbine for instance. Oh yeah they played violent video games. Forgot to mention that they had terrible parents.

i do not believe that violence is causing violence in our tennager minds becasuse our society is way too advanced to be lured into the images in violent video games.
