Violent crimes have also been decreasing in recent years in the US, yet video games are becoming more violent and more realistic.

Games are just a pychological factor into the mind, for those that take it into some serious influence. I mean, movies and music often have some connections to violence, so why not ban them also?

Violet aggression?

Just keep them away from any shades of purple, and they should be fine. :D

Why do you get pissed..? It's common sense that boys are usually more violent than girls...

Complete crap.

You can claim you're going to be a good parent, not get your child anything violent, always be sure you know what they're watching, and do everything all nice and perfect. This was what a guy on the radio show I listen to did do. And his son at the age of two was outside, picked up a stick and went "bang bang"

Violence in video games is not a cause of violent behavior. It is an effect of our violent nature.

Utter junk science. They don't present a shred of "evidence" that isn't completely subjective.

Quote:
Most studies done on violence and video games support the conclusion that violent video games can increase aggressive behaviour in children and adolescents, especially boys, researchers said on Friday.


Most "researchers" who conduct such studies have an ideological agenda and, because they have decided the results before they even begin the study, skew their research methods to find the conclusion they assume they'll find. The article fails to mention that a number of rigorously designed studies have found no link between violent video games and violent behavior.

Most psychology is junk science, and this is no exception.

The article makes it sound like everyone who plays video games becomes anti-social and violent.
Boo in the general direction of this article.

I mean, it's not like I spend my time planning world domination, howling at the moon and thinking of quicker ways to carve people up..

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, VIDEO GAMES DO!

That's right, before video games there was no violence - just Bibles and kittens.

Violence in video games must affect the more immature mind, incapable of telling the difference between gaming and real life. A game stops when you die, not when you kill someone, should people really be thinking the same goes for life?
