he's an idiot but he raises some points.

parents need to wake up and treat children like thinking human beings not some thing you have to be bothered with.

Huh? I want a chainsaw, which version is he playing? :O

Anyway, there's a difference between training and desensitization. I'm sure even Glenn wouldn't advocate the military dropping all of it's advanced training procedures in lieu of a bunch of Xboxes and HDTVs and copies of GTA. For that matter, I'd like to see a typical GTA player last a day in Iraq (myself included).

I think all credit was lost when he went "Your son, husband, or your boyfriend or whoever...".
I'm surprised the soldiers aren't pissed off at this, and making a voice about it. Everyone's saying video games are like wars, but judging from what I've seen when people come back from a war, and when people come back from playing video games, they are VERY different. Even Jack Thompson would see that (Though not admit it).

So...the first video game was a human outline on a paper target in WW 1?

He's talking about Pong. It was a military killing simulator.

 

[CyberPitz]

lolol, so the release of a TV in the 50's caused more people to kill?

Does not compute.

Video games don't kill at their own will, neither do guns or knives for that matter. People kill one another. Video games, TV, music, guns, knives or any other blunt, sharp, immaterial object that might be accused for killing, has no conscious though, so how can they possibly be at fault for the next school shooting in xxxxx county? Pfft.


I just love our new-age, "blame-game, finger-pointing" society these days. Utterly ridiculous. They are putting more intellectual conscious in these inanimate objects than they are themselves and others. I might as well just say the wooden door next to me has a higher IQ than these idiots. :dozey:

The real problem today is that people these days refuse to take responsibility for one's own actions and accept the consequences. Instead, they want to blame something or someone else for what they did wrong with EVERYTHING. THAT'S what's wrong with today's society.

..and omg if anyone tries to call these people on their BS or it's, ~in a whiney voice~ "He's picking on me"
