Yes, so is porn.... I can't understand how everyone here is ok with porn but when violent video games come into play you go crazy and say oh heck no
... no kid of mine will play a violent game because porn is normal.
First off not all violent games are bad. Most are referring to grand theft auto that you can beat and mug people.
Their is horror games like manhunt and manhunt2 they teach you how to survive becoming a victim from crazy people. You have to kill people to save
yourself.
Video games in general are helpful. The games help you make up a strategy.
Yet people get mad at violent video games but not with violent movies. I have see parents take a 5 year old to see SAW movies. Yet no one complains
about the horror films. Just violent video games.
Now porn has a worst effect. Someone said they rather have their son or daughter to see porn then play violent video games because porn in natural.
Yet porn isn't natural is created to stimulate your mind for sexual weakness points. Once caved in you keep coming back for more.
They teach you about love which is false as long your kid keeps coming to watch porn the money will keep coming in. Porn doesn't help society they
are just taking advantage of people's sexual weakness for nothing but money.
So you would rather have your daughter or son learn that sex is nothing but a product. So all girls charge for a show.
That is why their is now sex consultation for people who can't stop thinking about it.
As for as I know love isn't what porn is... and porn isn't natural. It mainly shows that love is all about how your body looks. In reality it's
not.
So I personally think porn is more damaging then violent video games.
Violent video games don't hurt people mentally. I personally think it's all up to the person.
Every kid needs to know that video games are fake and are just their for entertainment.
They just need to know that what are on video games doesn't apply in real life.
I met many gamers. I have a friend that is a game addict he is chinese and only play chinese video games. I keep telling him to study and stuff but
he dosen't listen. He now got Fired from MCDONALDS by pushing a co-worker female for no reason. He now isn't in college anymore since his grades are
low and he has no money.
He is a game addict. I am not a game addict and nor is my other games. I personally think you can easily turn of the game whenever you want. It's
just it takes you to want to turn of the game when you know you have no more time to spend on it and got to study or do homework or do something that
is needed to be done.
Plus you can't saw my friend push the girl because of violent video games. He plays fighting style demon and dragon ninjas. He watches alot of
fighting movies and learn some karate.
So to conclude what I am saying it depends on the person. If the person can't handle something like violent movies,games, or porn. Then they
shouldn't be having them in possession.
It boils down to parents. For me if I have a kid I won't mind them playing violent video games or watch horror movies.
I would watch closely though on their behavior afterwards. If they can't handle it and start to think what's in the video games is normal or ok to
kill people I will make sure he learns the reality.
I wouldn't approve my son or daughter to watch porn at all. They can watch porn when they are not under my roof and isn't my responsibility
anymore.
that just my views on this topic. I did a research paper on violent video games. I had to do the history of video games and then how ESB ratings came
into the picture. To the latest arguments about grand theft auto series by rockstar games.
What other said above is kinda stupid.. I am talking about saying oh would you want your son or daughter to be caught having sex or be caught
disposing a dead body.
It's the same thing as would you want to find out your son or daughter doing a school shooting or would you rather have them being caught raping
people on the streets or killing the opposite sex and have sex with a head body before disposing the body.
It makes no sense. violent crimes are violent crimes. It dosen't mean if you watch porn and play violent video games you automatically do these
crimes.
It boils down to the persons thoughts and boldness. If he wants to have sex. He might after watching porn ... the porn would influence him to do a
sexual crime. If he is bold enough he might think or actually carry out a crime. To be honest violent video games and porn might encourage a person to
do a crime. This only means the person has to have the desire to do a crime before playing the video game or watching porn.
like I said it's mainly the behavior of the person that carries out the crime. No game or porn makes a person to do something but could influence
thoughts to only those certain people.
For me as a gamer I have fun and a thrill at playing violent video games even horror games. It's kinda like a haunted house you walk threw and see
what they have next. Plus I know programming so for me I mainly look at the work of each video game and always try to figure out how they did certain
effects. I look mainly at the technical side of things.
So my opinion is still that porn do more damage then violent video games. Yet dosen't mean violent video games don't do damage at all but it depends
on each gamer and how they look at video games and how much understand they have about video games. Meaning they are not real even though game makers
try to make it as real as possible but you never should take video games as real time training or how it is in real life.
