I can't remember young people being addicted to violent video games until recently. We're not talking about "violent images". We're talking about brain washing young immature minds or mentally ill minds hour after hour with violent murders. We have at least two slaughters that we can attribute to violent video game addiction, Columbine and this recent one. I'm sure there are many others. What do you think?
Except video games have been around almost 40 years. No you cant blame a game for bad parenting and punishing boys for being boys. Hell I use to play war as a kid where me and some buddies would act like we were shooting each other and NONE of us went out and slaughtered innocents people with a firearm. Christ we use to have these BB guns with rubber pellets we did shoot each other with them.... Little yellow fuckers hurt to LOL still point is we didn't turn out into mass murders. So placing blame on a game is just stupid cause MILLIONS of kids play them. A fucked up person is a fucked up person they dont need a game to make them flip out. What I want to know is why we have so many fucked up young men now.
Yes, I also played war and cowboys and indians, etc. However, I don't remember any of my friends or myself wanting to get a real weapon and murder innocent people. I remember 40 years ago and there were no video games like we have now. I think it's a combination of violent video games, mental illness, drugs, bad parenting, and culture. The USA has gone dark and stupid.
