LOL, I've been playing games since pong came out.
I love FPS. I love blowing stuff up, destruction and causing mayhem.
I also watch a lot of horror and action movies. Its been years since a horror movie horrified me. I'm desensitized to it all.

That doesn't mean I would actually DO ANY of it in real life.

My actions are my choice. I am not blindly reactive.
My choices are governed by my morals, intelligence and social acceptance.

It doesn't matter if its a game, a movie or an abusive parent/spouse, our actions are our own. You always have a choice, always.

Shoot that man in the head or I will shoot you in the head. Ultimately it is your choice to pull the trigger or not.

My daddy beat me when I was little. You have a choice to follow his footsteps or to rise above and not beat your children.

Some people are twisted and some people are not. The key consideration is "Some People".

There is a difference between instruction and entertainment.
Just because you have been instructed how to do something does not require that you always do it.

MightyMoe,


Same here buddy I like Slender Man Orgin 2. Yes its a creepy game but I know the difference between entertainment & reality. Now you want to talk about a game that I can see influence evil people to kill I can see a RockStar Games, remember " Manhunt"?

with me, it doesn't mean i will, but i know i could...if i had to

I understand what you are saying. At my age I will never be called to war again but if war were to come to me, I can still be deadly.

The thing that needs to be remembered is that video games and movies are entertainment.
The things that we see are not accurate.
Knives can get stuck, broken limbs can incapacitate and things affect bullet's trajectories. Hitting someone in the head with a crowbar will probably kill them. People can't walk when they have been shot in the leg. There is even a chance they could bleed to death.

While most people can make the distinction between fake and reality there are SOME that do not possess that capacity. Children, mentally immature or challenged and people that have no moral compass to guide them are the ones that are affected differently by the entertainment they experience.

The problem isn't with the entertainment, it is with the person experiencing the entertainment.
