Ezekiel 23:20
She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey's and emissions like those of a horse.
DT 28:53 "You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you."
2KI 6:29 "So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him."
GE 38:9 "... whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked ..., so the Lord put him to death."

You know that makes a lot of sense... because when I look outside I still see horses pooing out on public walkways, and drunks firing their arms into the air.
Wait a tic, no I don't.
Oh right, you present a false comparison...because there have been far too many things which have changed in the world in the last hundred years for it to have any such validity.
My bad.

There has to be a connection, because if there wasn`t then similar techniques that they use in "brainwashing" wouldn`t be so successful.
To believe that there is no connection, either on a conscious or subconscious level, would just be ignorant.

10 Million dollars wasted. It's digital versions of cowboys and indians...and games are rated like movies, kids can't buy those games, parents have to for them. I am for smart regulations, but this is situation where games developers have done everything needed for parents to step up and be parents.
"I have a 12-year-old and he likes to play all those games and they're all rated 'mature'," said Karen Weathington, a mother of five children, including three boys.
Weathington notices a change in their behavior when they play certain games.
"When they play fight and wrestle, it's the mocking of slicing someone or with a gun. As a parent, it kind of concerned me, should I take the games away?" said Weathington.
www.fox47news.com...
WOW...this POed me!! The games are rated...Does she also buy pornography for her son? effen unqualified to be a parent.
I have a buddy that plays GTA for hours on end...using a flame thrower to light up cops etc...he also "live traps" mice in house to release them outside....catches house spiders and lets them go outside...literally wouldn't hurt a fly. Anecdotal, I know, but this seems a study aimed at placating parents...then again it is a "study" and i expect the results will show what everyone knows already...
BTW - How does the CDC plan on conducting the study?

So why does their have to be a connection? Why did people murder prior to the early 70's when there were no video games (especially in the capacity that we see today)? Why did people utilize a gun prior to then if there has to be a connection?
You are hoping there is one to confirm a completely different delusion that we are all under some grand brain-washing scheme in my opinion.

How about people with a history of alcohol abuse owning CARS!
There are a 'Sandy Hook's' worth of people(27 on average) killed every day due to drunk driving.
Wouldn't it make sense to concentrate on something that kills more people than guns???

People are not to blame for Hollywood and the media taking advantage of mans base instinct that has existed since man existed. We eat the violence up because it is in our nature to. They profit from it knowing full well that we can not help ourselves. If everyone really wants that peaceful existence we need to stop feeding the base instinct for violence that is ingrained in all men, it exists simply because we needed it for survival. They do not HAVE to take advantage of the fact simply for profit.
