ids arent as stupid as everyone fucking thinks. Just because in a game you can try again, doesnt mean that you get another credit on earth. God dammit. I have never played any game that is anything like real life. Games like gta are NOTHING like real life. It may have the appearence of reality, but it acts a totally different way.
And this talk about games making people kill, fuck that. If you are killing someone in a game, your not even killing someone at all. Its the same as looking at a picture or a painting of a corpse. Same old reargument resparked, once again.
Interesting topic though.

the point I was hoping to make was that it isn't necessarily a conscious thing, but it happens repeatedly and ingrains itself into the players subconscious.
I believe the lack of sensibility is reflected on video games, but they are not the cause. Also, anyone that commits murder because of a video game, certainly had problems before getting anywhere near a video game.
Seriously, I've not seen a video game about a man that steals people's retirement funds or about a corrupt politician that withholds free vaccines to profit from them in Africa, which are greater problems that a random kid going postal every now and then.
As far as I know, most video games are about killing aliens, mutants, clones in a faux city that only know how to curse (GTA), gangsters, nazis, etc. Video games are just scapegoats, the causes are more deep and serious.

Kids will break controllers, punch walls and scream homophobic epithets but they don't kill themselves or each other over a game. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by religion being disproved in the media.
Sorry, disproved was the wrong word.
I meant 'questioned', with people like Bill Maher and darwinist prevalent on the media it would appear easy for a religious person to question their beliefs.
Not too long ago religion was a given, 'God exists live with it', but now people are more educated they question their beliefs and are influenced externally.

It's simple logic really. Videogames don't encourage murder and suicide, it's just that depressed and mentally ill individuals are more attracted to videogames as a way to escape their shitty lives. Hence why so many school shooters are in posession of videogames.
Absolutely not, unless the game was Persona 3, then I'd have to take a firm 'maybe' on the issue. A game where repeatedly shooting yourself in the head nets awesome powers could send mixed messages to mentally imbalanced people.
