I've always been violent. Videogames don't put it into you.
& girls aren't more susceptible than guys to hat sort of thing.

If videogames influence children, adults now would be running around in dark rooms munching colorful pills.

Before I have ever played a single game, I was violent.
It's in my nature, I can't help it.

Usually I hate acuusations like these, but just yesterday I was round at a friends house playing on her compputer when from I heard her little sister saying how a car racing game sucked because when you shot the dead bodies of the pedestrians you'd run over, blood doesn't spurt out.

I still think it's wrong to blame video games because you can't raise your children right, but on the other hand, is it really good to tell children of that age that jumping in front of cars and ramming motercycles is funny?

On the issue of women becoming more violent. Yeah, that's down to the perverts
You see we all are brought up in a violent generation, you got back to when the SNES came out and they would have never thought games would be as violent as they are now. You know why you don't think they are, no matter how good your brought up from when you can watch tv, the media pumbles it into your mind, the media has the right to blame video games, and no the Columbian Shooting wasn't linked to music it was linked to the two guys having a cult devotation to the game DOOM.

Secondly, some of the games ARE too violent I may play a violent games here and their, but one of the games i can't stand is GTA series, my neighbors brother is 7 years old and i walked in on him playing GTA SA, you may say its the parents fault, is it? I'm all for a game that like half life 2 or halo 2 or splinter cell, but a game thats to realstic and allows you to pretty much pull a capital murder on someone to steal $45 just to buy a burger, is too far. I'm not GTA hating but everything is linked, games, media, movie and television and what comes in one ear goes out the other, and someone reacts.

Certinanly it's up to the girl if she want's to be violent or not.Usually, I'll use Soul Caliber 2 to get some of my energy or stress out, but I don't go crazy on the streets.

Ambura Mancer brought up an interesting point. If video games aren't making girls more violent -- and I think we all agree they aren't -- can they change how you perceive violence in other forms of entertainment, and in real life?

Video games don't make me violent. It's people who blame things like video games and not on themselves who that make me violent.

The only way video games make me more violent is because my boyfriend is pretty much addicted to WoW, and he plays that more than he talks to me on the phone, and it makes me want to kill him. Does that count? Kidding.
Just like the Hot coffee thing in GTA, the game was rated high enough for KIDS not to play, so it's the parents fault.
and Lara Croft's boobs are too big. and they make men think about sex. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm sure they already do that. and I like lara's tits.
(sarcasim) I read an artical about that in like fith grade. People just need to find new things to pick at. If your kid is dumb enough to think what the play on video games is real, and wants to level/grow up to be a mage.. he should probably go to a hospital.

It's the person's choice to become violent. The "Man" has always been trying to blame something for the perverts and whack-jobs of the world. It's their choice not what they watch or play. I've always been tough, but playing fighting games like DOA and Street Fighter helped me learn some moves wink
Exactly, A little more practice and I may kick someones a** with Christie`s She Quan........ blaugh

Ah man, I'm so sick of these damn claims. My violence does not come from tv games, that damage was done so much earlier. If anything tvgames is a nice and painless way to remove any extra agression. I mean if I'm in a bad mood all I have to do is play soul calibur to blow of some steam.

Bull crap! I'm violent, and all I play is Animal Crossing and Nintendogs! I read in my own local news that more and more women killers are out there because of video games! It's the media's way of picking on video games, to gain more money from parents! I give the freaking media 2 words: COMMOM SENCE. Kids won't do it if they have it, and I'm fairly sure a lot of kids have it! Hell, I play Halo to blow steam, and you don't see me with a niper rifle shooting at anyone in a full body suit!

The violence of a child does, in fact, depend on a lot of things. Sex, for one, can have something to do with it. A male's instincts are honed for fighting. It's just the way humans are. Women have that instinct too, of course, but ours is more a protective reaction.

However, when speaking of games... I wholly believe that they do not effect the violence in teenagers and mature adults. If you were to go back into the psychological and family histories of the two boys involved in the Columbine shooting, you would most likely discover that some violence occured during their childhoods. Possibly repeatedly.

Also, in the case of small children: THERE IS A RATING ON THE FREAKING BOX! If the parents are too stupid to realize that a M rated game is the same as an R rated movie, then that's their fault. If little Bobby runs up to his mommy with GTA and she buys it for him to shut him up without even looking at the rating, that's her fault. Don't blame it on the game. Sure, I hate the whole GTA franchise. Personally, it deserves it. But I WON'T blame the violence of small children on the games that they play, since they didn't buy them in the first place.

QED, every psychological or emotional sickness can be linked to the parents or a close family member.

It's up to us to teach our children what is right. It's not the games fault if we fail.
