Too many violent video games for Xbox!!!

Sorry i havent replied yet we had a huge snowstorm...

I think that children should not be playing these violent video games! Yes they do make children violent and i hope we start to ban them all!!! Canada is already talking about this issue and there saying the same as me...

We Don't need anymore violence anymore with the wars and killing, etc... And I extremly think it's BS like 100% BS that violent don't make children violent...

I think the Grand Theft Auto Series are bad for chilren,students, until there mature enough...And dont give me more BS about hhhh there already mature enought...THATS 10000000% BS...Last year at my school someone took a knife and told everybody that hed kill my friend...after he didnt but almost did and told me that it was because it was in GTA vice city...

 

Doggy_Bot the fact is half the people at my school carry some kind of gun or knife on them for protection because they are in gangs. Are you saying video games are making this happen because they don't even play video games. I agree with BR7 sex games are worse for kids then violent ones. Also what is Canada going to do use there army to make the US stop making video games ha.

 

"I don't care if little kids play the games, though, by the way. Just saying it effects them.."

And it affects adults too, so what's your point?

"p.s. I'm sure most of you cursing at Doggy are probably 13 and trying to defend yourselves anyway."

The majority of us are past the teenage stage, but thanks for assuming :|

If I ignored your post, it's because I didn't read it. I didn't read most of this thread, because most of it is a bunch of 13 year olds whining about their priveleges being taken away."

We're all adults you moron. And what priveleges are being taken away? And you're so stupid that you attack games, but you have no opinion about all the violent movies that come out each year.

"Listen, I enjoy violent games, but that doesn't change the fact that they effect children."

They effect adults too, whether you want to admit it or not.

"There is no childhood anymore, it's pathetic. I just feel bad for the kids.. that's all. But you "mature" people aren't very mature at all.. just read your posts."

I'm not mature because I don't believe that every child goes pyscho after playing GTA? Get a grip. My nephew who is 11 plays GTA every time he comes over my house, and he isn't going crazy. After playing the game, he's done. He doesn't threaten police officers. He doesn't have guns and shoot people. He just plays the game. And you act as if all children that play games like such are badly affected. You can stick that crap right back up your ass.

"It's obvious that I was joking about the frustration thing, but you people are really stupid and immature."

It's immature to think that all children are the same, just because a few spoiled apples went and did something stupid.

"I think that children should not be playing these violent video games! Yes they do make children violent and i hope we start to ban them all!!! Canada is already talking about this issue and there saying the same as me... "

There is no logic in you. Violent games don't make violent children.

"We Don't need anymore violence anymore with the wars and killing, etc... And I extremly think it's BS like 100% BS that violent don't make children violent..."

I think it's BS that you want to ban a few violent games and yet you don't protest the MPAA, who affirms many violent movies every year.

"I think the Grand Theft Auto Series are bad for chilren,students, until there mature enough...And dont give me more BS about hhhh there already mature enought...THATS 10000000% BS...Last year at my school someone took a knife and told everybody that hed kill my friend...after he didnt but almost did and told me that it was because it was in GTA vice city..."

No it wasn't because of GTA. It was because he had some personal steam to let out and he used GTA as the blame. Only in America could someone get away with something like that by saying "It's the gaming industries fault" or "It's the gun industry's fault." It's really no one's fault but their own.

I know this is a long post, but it's true. I'm sick of people saying "This is violent," but the truth is, that the majority of games have always been violent. It's just that now consoles have better visuals and video cards, and now the blood and gore becomes more graphic. This doesn't change the violence that has always been there though.

If you don't want your children playing the games, then don't let them play it. But don't try and dictate to everyone about how they raise their children.

 

for all you wimps out there that dont like shootings games go play "BARBIE"

 

[CHILDISH POST REMOVED]

 

doing the stuff you see in video games in real life means you have no grip on the world. Its like the saying, if your friend jumped off a bridge would you.

 

violent video games dont make people go and slaughter their parents its your choice if you want to kill some one video games arent an excuse if your a fusking retard and shoot some one then say it was video games your just dumb it was your choice to kill that person not a games.

 

Anyway, I give up. I was trying to help Doggy out since you guys just came in here acting like you've all got tourette's syndrome.. but there's just no direction anymore.
Like I said, I don't even care if kids play violent games.

P.S.
You win.

 

Doggy

My kids are (except the two year old), not in the sense you are thinking, but mature enough to know fact from fiction.

He didn't but almost did????? Which is it? lol, I have to laugh at that statement. It makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever. It's so stupid, I cannot even think of anything to say back about it.

On another note, some of these knife/gun incidents in school are cause of copy-cat bullshit (how many incidents happened after Columbine? How many before???). Someone wants to make a name for themselves, so why not threaten someone with a knife, then when they get busted, go blame it on your xbox. What horseshit. If it's not parenting, it's the "lemme be cool, bring a knife to school and get suspended indefinately" attitude. Just so I can be on tv cause I saw it on tv.

On a last note doggy, next time you want to enlighten us with your knowledge, please don't, I'm embarassed for you.


philipman

lol. Our Salvation Army would stop them dead in their tracks. lol

If you didn't care, they why post and stick up for someone who does? You've had his back this entire thread (and I think you are the only one). If you don't care, why give your opinion? From the beginning you knew this thread was gonna be a flame fest, now you can't stand the heat, so you will quit. FYI, quitters never win. And not every one in here has tourettes who responded to your idiotic views. You need to get a grip on reality and take the blinders off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since neither one probably wont be back, I say we contiune this thread with a poll for the violence lovers. lol

1. Who has the best finishing move in MK Deception?
I say Kabal, where he spins-n-slices.

Doggy, 2Sweet?? Got any fav's????

 

Actually, I quit because I got bored of waiting for him to make a point. And then when he made that comment about the kid in HIS school with the knife, saying he did it because it was in Grand Theft Auto.. he destroyed himself. Oh well, I don't care.

 

I see doggy bot didnt answer my previous question, When you gonna wake up and realise that we live in a violent world, Full of murderers pedafiles ect, At least you know your kids are safe at home whilst playing the xbox ps2 ect, There does seem to be a few insidennts in schools in the us, As noted on the news, But guns are second nature in the us,We dont seem to get these problems in the uk, The police dont even carry guns here,

There is a few gang wars in the uk but not on a large scale like the us, So what point are you trying to make ?, Every other person carry a gun in the us dont they, What a nice place to live ay,

 

Wow this is a joke. If you bother to spend any time with your children at all and raise them with some decent morals and teach them some respect, they will turn out alright. If a kid can become more influenced by a video game than by a parent, then you're doing something wrong. And i believe most of the violence from kids these days is in direct relation with the way their parents raise them, not by what video game they rent from blockbuster.

 

When was the last time there was a gang war in the UK? the dawn of time? My point exactly.

2Sweet, once again you're concentrating on the little kids...no wonder it's a flame fest? What do you expect when trying to actually [bold]legitimatly argue[/bold] your side. That's why they don't offer debate until high school/college.

I understand why you were backing him...hell you had balls to be the only one to speak up. However, that doesn't validate his(and your former) point what-so-ever. Also, I do believe Doggy_bot is just a mislead(to say the least) youth who basically...has no fusking idea what he's talking about.

Mkecpt....hrmmm...don't play it enough but I think that one chick who bites off dudes head at the end is the best...

Tekk

 

Lookie what I found...a CBS interview about this very thing we have been discussing!


http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/08/tech/gamecore/main678913.shtml

 

not every other person carrys a gun, crime mostly is in poor areas not everywere, and if the police here did not carry gun they would all be dead. There is more crime in the US because we are more free than other countrys and allways have been.

 

I live in New York City, and I know that cops NEED to carry guns around here. Anyway, it's pathetic, I hate guns.. I've been robbed at gunpoint twice.

 

yes the fact is we need guns but they need to have better rules and laws to stop the wrong people to get there hands on them. I use them to hunt and nothing else, no handguns.

 

THERES MORE CHANCE OF BEING SHOT OR MUGGED IN THE US THAN THE UK, You only have to watch the us news and watch the uk news to realise that, The police dont carry guns in the uk, And you never hear of a police officer being shot, It seems to easy for anybody to get hold of a gun in the us thats why theres so many killings, The only police that have guns in the uk are airport police obviously for the resent terrorist threats, So when you say your country is more free, I wouldnt say getting mugged at gun point is fun free living,

The prisions are full of people that feel its free to bar arms, I feel much safer with the uk law, If your found with a gun they just shoot you or lock you up, Anyway im gonna go and play brothers in arms now on the xbox with my kids great game, Have a nice day as they say in the us

 

well you don't have to kill someone with a gun. In seattle the green river killer strangaled them. There is nothing wrong with guns if they are used right. I mean free as being able to bare arms nothing more.

 

Oh please,

This whole thing about violent video games and music is ridiculous.

I have played all those violent games, i.e.Doom, Quake, Counterstrike, Rainbowsix...you name it, I've played it.

Sure, video games are violent. But let's be honest.

How many of you all can honestly say that you are angrier because you play violent video games and/or listen to rap or heavy metal.

This whole debate about it in Congress is a waste of time, because we all know that it is the parents' responsibility to know what their child is doing.

I know parents can't be there ALL the time, but if they knew what is up in the house or what have you, things would probably be different.

Think of the Columbine Killings...you mean to tell me that they played a mod of Doom and then decided to kill a bunch of kids because of it....SORRY, NOT BUYING THAT CRAP! LOL

To be honest, parents are to blame. Is it our fault that video games are created as violent, NO, because you know what...and I will tell you this....IT IS JUST A GAME PEOPLE!!! When you turn off that console or pc, guess what....you are back in reality, where if people haven't noticed, if you hurt someone,it is real.

All of you all who sit there and say that violent games are the cause are SO dilusional. To all the parents out there who don't know what your kids are doing....you better get with the program and stop making excuses for yourself and talk to your kids that murder is WRONG. There are much better ways of letting out your anger. It isn't funny, cool, great, stupendous, or anything else society makes it out to be....but WRONG. If you kill someone, they DIE, no continue, and no restart.

Like I said, I grew up with all that crap, including being in a gang, lived in DC, and been around the WRONG people, and all that mess, but I am NOT going to sit here and say that if I kill someone it is because of a violent game, NO, if I ever did that, god forbid, I would say that it was either self-defense, or I just wanted to kill that person....

All this talk of blaming games, music, television, and so forth, takes away from the real problem and that is parents not raising their kids right and letting them do whatever the hell they want. No matter what I was doing when I was growing up, I knew that my parents cared for me, and raised me that if you do something wrong, like commit a crime, you go to jail. Plain and simple. No gray line, no hidden meaning, no nothing, just plain and simple truth.

To all the awesome parents out there that teach their kids about right from wrong, you are doing a GREAT job, EVEN if you let your kids play games like Vice City, Halo, Counterstrike, or what have you. To all the parents who don't have a clue and let your child do whatever they want....guess what....you better get one....and hope to see your kid on the 5 o clock news soon using a poor excuse that video games made him/her do it.

Tell you what, why not take the advice from BR7 and shdwsfall and use your time to better serve your community.
