No, I will not get off "your" lawn....in fact Ill just shoot you in the head and bury you in my new lawn...you mean nothing to me, you digital
representation of a person....I get it...and in fact I too have played those games off and on for my entire life, and no, I have not ever killed a
single person, and find the idea of murder repugnant, and I am going to assume you would never want to kill anyone in the ways that you kill digital
people in the games, so why play them? What I am saying is that these games CAN be used to desensitize people to violence to a point where they can no
longer tell the difference between reality and a game. Just listen to people themselves:
gta
killernorway
killer
Honestly I think these people are just narsistic pricks who lose themselves in violence. When you and I play a first person shooter we now it is just
all in good fun, I think these people get something more out of it, they lose touch with reality....Obviously people have been killing each other for
a long time, and do not need video games to encourage them to do it. It is just these specific examples of people playing games for hundreds of hours
then going out and "replaying" them in the "real world" that bothers me.....so pointless. I get violence, I understand revenge, jealousy, anger, fear,
but murdering innocent people that you do not even know just because you see them as some kind of a threat that does not exist is just sad, and I
think violent video games help to desensitize people to murder. Trust me I know there are hundreds of millions of people shooting each other every day
in these digital worlds and not even a tiny percentage will ever do it in real life, no #. I am just boggled that people would want to spend so much
time doing it, what does that say about the nature of man? Or this culture in which it is encouraged to spend hours killing life like digital
representations of people. The military is in on this phenomena and is using it to it's own advantage:
www.livescience.com... Guess what? Video games are not realistic. Sure the murder is pretty convincing but you do
not have to clean up the bodies, you do not have to live with the remorse, you do not have to see the peoples families scream in horror, hell you just
respawn. You react but do not have to deal with the consequences of your actions in video games.....
Listen to the audio in
this clip and then think about the audio in games like battlefield and mw3....brainwashed idiots....pisses me off.....Do you think the game makers
give a damn? Hell no, billions of dollars are the only things that matter to them,
