Toaster, one kid was exposed to GTA and went on a spree a while back.
Yeah... He was also exposed to water... WATER CAUSES VIOLENCE!!
First of all, correlation does not equate causation. Second, no correlation was ever found, that I'm aware, in a scientific and legitimate study, between playing violent videogames and being violent. Third, even if it was, and going back to the first point, correlation is not causation. Ever thought that maybe people who are naturally violent (poor upbringing for instances) might naturally be more inclined to play violent videogames than those who are not?
The whole controversy surrounding violent videogames is a giant pithole of ignorance and stupidity. Like that time some kid with a history of being relentlessly bullied by his colleges, having a shitty life at home, and never having received support when he asked, suddenly murdered half his classmates, and then, obviously, everyone blamed it on videogames... Because they found out he played one... Really... A teenager that played a videogame...? Nowadays?? My god, how did that ever happen...? Clearly he as a loose cannon.
At any rate, censorship is ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
A-L-W-A-Y-S wrong. Education is the secret to a good upbringing, not ignorance.
