4. Do you know anyone who has been negatively affected by violent video games?
[b] No. [/b]
5. To what degree do you think people can be negatively affected by violent video games?
[b] Perhaps someone could be disturbed by the amount of gore, but I don't think they encourage acts of violence. [/b]
6. What is your opinion on video game bans?
[b] They shouldn't happen unless the game is meant to offend a group/culture/person/etc. [/b]

[b] Slovenia [/b]
3. How often do you play games with graphic violence?
[b] Almost every day. [/b]
4. Do you know anyone who has been negatively affected by violent video games?
[b] No [/b]
5. To what degree do you think people can be negatively affected by violent video games?
[b] Some people can be uncomfortable/grossed out when looking at graphic violence. In my opinion if a person knows what's right and wrong and can tell apart fiction from reality, that person won't be negatively affected by violent games. It's up to the parents to teach their children about that. Basically any properly raised seven-year old won't be affected. Now i'm not saying it's ok for a little kid to play shooters all day long, but playing them once in a while won't hurt them. Everything is good when in moderation. Then there's people who already have mental disorders and play violent games, i don't think i need to explain it.[/b]
6. What is your opinion on video game bans?
[b] Pure bullshit, and the people responsible for it don't even know what they're doing. It's like limiting freedom of speech. Any form of censorship is bad. Hell, with all this censorship around the world, we might as well start burning witches again, enslave all black people, enforce religion by the choice of government and start killing people for touching themselves. Sieg Heil!
Age ratings, while i don't always agree with them, are a good way of giving people advice on whether or not to play a game. Again, it's up to parents to prevent their kids from playing excessively violent games.[/b]

[b]Yes, but that was only for the duration of the acid. (Don't drink and drive, and don't do acid and play FEAR)[/b]
5. To what degree do you think people can be negatively affected by violent video games?
[b]The most I've ever seen is being desensitized of the effects of gore, etc, but that could just be due to the internet in general. While games have improved reflexes, helped being able to think clearly under stress, etc.[/b]

4. Do you know anyone who has been negatively affected by violent video games?

5. To what degree do you think people can be negatively affected by violent video games?
[b] If you can't differentiate real life and virtual world, I think that you'll be affected by it. [/b]
6. What is your opinion on video game bans?
[b] I think that the government shouldn't ban any video game unless if it were completely offensive(then again, it's fiction). You shouldn't ban entertainment, like comic books, movies, and books. I personally believe the people who are considering bans, are people who cannot adapt to new entertainment.[/b]
