    i myself don't believe Video Games train people to kill but hey what can i say after watching this.

    they said lots of kids these days are getting Withdrawal symptoms and Mental Disorders from simple games like Street Fighter ect.

    but hey i love my games and nothing is happening to me so it just must be certain people.


    wow crazy s.h.i.t man.

    I wouldn't say that they train them but they show them some possibilities they might not have thought about.

    Yes and No at the same time . . . . Kids playing rated M games that are younger than the required age is wrong and I beleive it CAN influence them in a negative way, but if you've met the required age limit to play a game I'm not so worried about the effects it has on a person . . .



    It really depends though, almost anything in this world can influence someone in a positive or negative way and it's how that person is affected by it and what they decide to do really . . . it's a tough subject. I play FPS games all the time and am fine. But I don't play games like GTA b/c I don't think it's cool even in a game to kill innocent ppl, even it it's all digital . . .

    I get more charged up after watching a bond movie or any other action / western movie than i do from playing a video game like goldeneye or halo.



    The whole games make people kill scenario is bullshit. Videogaming takes the flack because no one wants to admit where the real failures in societies are.

    No, they don't. I never thought I'd have the resolve to kill any one or anything up until I was introduced to George Carlin and realized most people suck.



    So now I limit myself this way; I have problems killing animals, insects, people under twelve years old, and people who are intellectuals over sixty. I couldn't image myself hurting any one in those categories.



    Otherwise, I couldn't give a shit if they lived or died. Or if I decided if they lived or died, really.



    I love violent video games. I have since I was about five or six. They didn't phase me. I was terrified of blood IRL up until about ten (When I encountered GC.)



    But on the screen? T'was nothing.



    I haven't needed to kill any one yet, so.



    And as to what FinalFantasy said, that guy is weak and weak-minded and should be shot ill regardless of his behavior.

    i think its the same as watching a fighting movie.

    i used to feel like getting in a fight after watching a full on fight movie.

    as for video games about the only game that effects me is tennis, i feel

    like going for a hit of tennis lol.
