Thank you. I like to present favourable ideas instead of the truth.

You could probably be right there, addiction does cause homocide in some cases.
[QUOTE=Juggernog;21124602]I asked random kids in the street of the same-ish age and gender the following questions
Have you ever played a violent video game (16/18+)?
Have you ever done anything particularly violent?

I've already said this but this is not the correct way to conduct an experiment in regards to the question you wish to answer. You cannot take people on their word.

So do the preachers who come to my door every week.
Also, the truth is that violent video games increase aggression.

Sorry for secondhand source, but it has all the sources inside the article.

Addiction only plays a role in homicide, mostly a threat to one's fix is what causes criminal actions, not the actual addiction itself. Of course while that may just be a technicality, it has to be acknowledged. An addiction can be a rewarding and wonderful thing so long as it is properly maintained.
Unless of course your addiction is to homicide, in which case that addiction directly causes homicide.
I say Cortex Command.

No, it can't, because that addiction is the opposite of enjoyable. Addiction means something is no longer recreational. A person who is addicted to wow doesn't want to play wow, he needs to.

You can [i]need[/i] something and still want/enjoy it. A classic example of this is cigarettes. Food could fall into this category however people seem to have the idea that simply because the outcome of going cold turkey on your food addiction is negative, that this makes a need for food not an addiction. This is not the case.

The point is that it is no longer done out of enjoyment, it is done out of need.

lol'd
I think the kid's parents have more to do with their actions than violent video games do.
If their parents tend to fight a lot, they might think that that's ok and get into fights at school and whatnot. Just because someone plays video-games doesn't mean that they are more prone to violence, It means they have good parents that let them play those kind of games.
[QUOTE=Juggernog;21124142]Contrary to popular belief, unless your child cannot seperate fantasy from reality, will decrease the liklihood of your child shooting up their school or punching their best mate in the face.
...
A survey that I conducted showed that people who played violent video games tend to be less violent than those who don't.

No, the point you tried to make was that you cannot enjoy an addiction, however, you can. I enjoy my caffeine and deviant pornography addiction all the time.

So everything you've said is purely made up bullshit then?
What's the point of this thread?

Surely it can't be used to guide parents if there is no factual basis for this guide.

So, what's the confidence interval on that conclusion, Dr. Facepunch?

Now you see a question like that falls into the realm of philosophy and has no real answer.

Meh, you're right.

It's better than giving your kids GTA at the age of 10 though.[/QUOTE]
For one, we don't want to listen to any more whiny kids than we have to.
After reading this, I immediately started to reinstall Fallout 3. Thanks!
No one on FP is a parent. Let alone capable of getting laid.
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;21124288]It should be illegal for anyone under 18 to buy, own, or play a rated M game.[/QUOTE
Should it bollocks
just be sure not to give them mics unless they're over 15
Agree with it but in my case my parents subjected me to horror/gore films/games from an early age. By the time i was 12 i had already watched most gorey films, e.g. resident evil, old dotd films, and had played games like HL1 when i was 6. God damn that game was scary.
I agree with the whole post, besides that fact that 10 year old mic-screaming kids on Xbox Live are annoying

It should be a store policy deal. However, I think a lot of M rated games should be considered 18+ games and only sold to people 18 over.
Huh, no wonder I'm so docile. :comeback:
