So G4 did a report on violence in video games. I think this is rather a 'serious' issue and not something to go in general chit-chat. So what are your thoughts?
For me, I haven't personally had a family death or any of the sort, but I can understand the pain that comes with it. And for the loved one to be shot would probably change ones outlook on life. But for someone to shoot another and say "Doom made me do it" or something like that is very hard for me to believe. Doom didn't make you do it, it was your choice. Life
is not like a video game, and there is a fine line between reality and fantasy. I'm starting to believe that all polatics wish to blame something, so why not video games?
What I'm trying to say is that there are greater issues here. With kids shooting people, the issue is not the influence, but how the kid got the gun in the first place. Also, that kid probably is either
a) incredibly stupid
b) has problems
or c) all of the above
Now I know most of you are gamers. (You should be, you're on a zelda forum) And most of you probably agree that those kids are stupid.
But what are your personal thoughts, and what do you think the government should do?
PS- Sorry for the typos, I'm a bad speller.
(Doh!)
