Michael Moore says "Video game/Violence link is nothing but panic"...

Finally someone noticed that the VG Violence angle was used as a scapegoat... those *Bleep!* were *Bleep!* nuts!!

 

And people say Michael Moore is nuts. He is really the first public figure who had the balls to say that

 

balls AND common sense....


I'm hoping the violence issue will die down soon like the violence/cinema debate, as more adults play games now and realise not to listen to the God fearing d**ks who come up with this crap.

I did my second year thesis on videogame violence (quite interesting imo) and it amazes me how people can claim such stupid ideas without any shred of conclusive evidence....

 

I don't agree with all his views, even though he makes entertaining movies, but it's about time someone said this.


I don't know why anyone ever replied to accusations of games causing violence with 'OMG the world was a peaceful utopia before pong?????'

 

Why did it have to come from Moore? I still loath the clown but I'm surprised he's the only one that says this. Now all we need is for Hillary and ol' Joe Lieberman to wake up and smell the coffee.

 

Any chance I could see that thesis?
Sounds very interesting.

 

I wouldn't expect a flaming liberal to say this, with Hilary Clinton, Joe Lieberman and Jack Thompson saying the opposite.

 

Oh, well now that Michael Moore said it, it must be true!

 

It was true before Moore said it.

 

Should we believe what Hilary, Libermann, and that nutter Thompson are spouting about video games without anything to back up their statements other than their emotions?

 

About time that [email protected]$$ mother4^(<er got SOMETHING right!

 

It's amusing how people who disagree with Moore's views bring an unrelated thing (his weight) into things.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. Moore isn't just liberal, he's "booed off the stage by other Liberals Liberal."

Just sortof shocking.

 

I actually agree with Michael Moore

 

It's amusing (and ironic) that a man who weighs 400+ pounds spends so much time and energy 8!+9#!~6 and complaining about the excesses of American society.

 

LOL true, true

 

I know, it hurts me to say it too, but it's true this time...

 

Funny, considering he choose to use video game clips in Bowling for Columbine to implicate that games played a roll in the shootings....

 

yeah i think i remember a clip in the movie as well. but its been awhile since i've seen it and i only saw it once. anyway, violent people play violent games. but they should be thankful that most reasonable, intelligent, violent people take out thier frustration on video games rather than in real life.

 

You would think conservatives would be the ones with the sticks up their ass about game violence. Go figure that one. Must be a gun thang.

 

Bush said it once

 

^He was chock full of jagermeister at the time, though.

 

so the man has taste....

 

Michael Moore is wrong.

It's well known that the more you practice something, the more likely that you will react as you have practiced. It's why sports and the military constantly have their people run drills.
