anyone who does something violent because of a video game had issues in the first place, it wasn't the game that corrputed them (gasp). As for politicians trying to ban/prohibit minors from playing violent games, they can go fuck themselves. the_finger:

Well most games are made in Japan, and having been there I can say that they aren't aggressive, people just like pointing fingers. We always need something to blame, it just happens to be video games this time around. annoy:

My kid just killed someone? Well it can't be the fact that I used to beat/ ignore/ tell him that all problems can be solved through killing/ am a bad parent and haven't taught my kid shit/ noticed his severe psychological problems... it must be, um... what do kids do that I can blame this on? Videogames. It was the violent videogames, not my faults as a parent.
