Opinions Needed..Should Violent Video Games Be Banned?

[nativepaul]

I don't think there is anything wrong with violent video games and neither do any of my victims, after I hose a room down with fully automatic machine gun fire I always shout out "If you think violent games should be banned put your hand up now" and so far 0.000% have raised their hand as a negative response towards video games.















Normally they just LOL and spawn at the other end of the map.

About the FourLoco ban, I find that as kind of ridiculous myself. I have never drunken it but I doubt it can be as bad as Absinthe or a host of other beverages. If people want to be stupid and drink too much liquor they will, regardless if it's Fourloco or not. The redbull and vodka drinks are popular and are pretty much the same thing. In fact, alcohol is lethal in general and is responsible for about 75,000 deaths per year, 40,933 of those being car crashes that killed innocent people. How many people do shootings kill per year? Don't get me started on Tobacco, that's 440,000 deaths per year with about 3,000 deaths from secondhand.

Sorry, I know it is a bit off topic, but you could maybe use that as an argument

You can find tons of sources on this stuff too.

Oh, and this was written in 2007, but is states 323 students have died from 1992-2007. This is hardly even a problem. People just get riled up and it's good for the news networks so they play the hell out of this stuff.
