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

[TheCardPlayer]

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

No he used those to show that Japan had violent games yet less crimes.

 

[Addendum]

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.

Running drills.... and playing games on a PS2 or Xbox. I don't see a connection. Being a crack shot on FPS games does not make one an expert marksman in real life.

Also, when there is nothing conclusive that states "playing violent video games will make a child become a psycho killer", I need something stronger than one's opinion.

There are more important factors as to why a kid goes nutso and shoots up his school. The video game collection, CD collection and what clothes he or she wears is a minor issue.

The connection is the mind. What you've trained your mind to do, your body is going to respond likewise to similar stimuli.

That's not to say that video games create a violent personality, though that cannot be denied, but it increases the tendency to have a violent response to stimuli, moreso then if the person never played video games.

I have real trouble with Internet chatter. I can't discern sarcasm or sometimes I totally misinterpret things.


Damn French first language! I wanted to be AMERICAN!

Ugh, you're French

Also, couldn't you tell I was sarcastic by saying Silly Goose.

 

[Addendum]

Violent games may be a contributing factor. However, it is not the sole reason despite the tripe Hilary, Liebermann and Thompson claim.

The major issues should be: how did that individual obtain the weapons they used, was the individual a witness and/or victim of abuse.

A kid who shoots up their school, takes their own life, or becomes a career criminal was already ****ed up before they picked up a video game controller, saw an R-rated movie, or discovered some obscure metal band from Norway.

It's because of rap.

Without that factor, you have an incomplete circle. Include it and that's all you need to know.

NO, BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY A SILLY CANADIAN GOOSE.

Aren't they more gracious? I remember seeing a skull of a moose near a ''cabane a sucre''. Nice eatery!

What kind of rap?

I still listen to A Tribe Called Quest, Digital Underground, Run-DMC, Kool Moe Dee, Ultramagnetic MCs, Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

I'm still in the process of adding to my old-school collection
