[QUOTE=Explosions;42265891]No, they just grabbed a bunch of popular terms and shoved them into the article to make an attention grab.[/QUOTE] Equally idiotic either way.
[QUOTE=The Vman;42260448]To be honest, Cenk wasn't making himself look much smarter by blaming it on the guns. Guns don't [I]cause[/I] violence, same way videogames don't [I]cause[/I] violence. Mental issues are what causes violence, and what ought to be the focus of debate.[/QUOTE] Gun's sure do increase the ease of committing a murder crime. I walk up to someone, set a gun to their head and blow it the fuck off. Having a gun alone for many people makes them feel powerful and safe, but for the crazies it makes them feel too powerful and could encourage gun related crimes. Of course, I could BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM WITH AN XBOX, but I'm pretty sure just shooting them in the throat would be more effective. they don't cause crime but please don't compare the way they don't to video games. I'm sorry but, Jesus Christ. the two are nothing alike, at all. and it's pretty [U]easy [/U]to argue guns increase violence, you don't look like an idiot saying it, but you will if you say video games cause violence. Comparing the two implies that given the circumstances games will encourage crime in the same way guns do, but that couldn't be more wrong. That being said, [U]normal people with or without guns don't kill people and guns won't make normal, sane people turn into murderous blood thirsty monsters but Psychos with guns do[/U]
The media had good time blaming World of Warcraft for the actions Anders Behring Breivik did in norway. Was it that? No, he was a f-ing Asshole. Aaron Alexis was mentaly desturbed. He had run ins whit the police many time. Having blackouts and hearing voices. But no it was Call of duty that pushed him over the limit and made him kill 13 people. [quote]But the argument I hear most often is that video games can't be dangerous because millions of people play these games without becoming violent. No doubt, most players don't become violent. That's because they come from good homes, aren't victims of bullying, don't have mental health issues, and don't have many of the other risk factors for violence.[/quote] [quote]The effects of these games go beyond making players more aggressive. In our research, we found that people who played first-person shooting games were more accurate than others when firing a realistic gun at a mannequin -- and more likely to aim for and hit the head.[/quote] [url]http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/18/op...mes/index.html[/url] The "research" [quote]participants were randomly assigned to play either a violent shooting game with realistic humanoid targets (Resident Evil 4), a nonviolent shooting game with bull’s-eye targets (the target practice game in Wii Play), or a nonviolent, nonshooting game (Super Mario Galaxy) for 20 min on a Nintendo Wii attached to a 19-in (48.3-cm) computer monitor[/quote] And the best thing in this research [quote] Those who played a shooting game used either a pistol-shaped or a standard controller [/quote] [url]http://crx.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/04/27/0093650212446622.full.pdf+html[/url]
Human are violent by nature, we liked burning witches. Blaming all wrong doings or sickness on them. Its the same thing this age, blame anything new because we weren't just as violent the last year without it. But again news and news papers, most bullshit thing you can find. Panic over sickness or blah "ohh wait turns out its harmless sorry for making it seem like the next black plague"
[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;42263993]BeamNG now to blame for car accidents[/QUOTE] dude piss off irl graphics are way better than beamng
[QUOTE=Scot;42259443]Newsflash GTA isn't the only game in the world featuring guns[/QUOTE] Let's blame Call of Duty again. At least then it's blaming a shit game, anyway. :v:
[QUOTE=J!NX;42268246]That being said, [U]normal people with or without guns don't kill people and guns won't make normal, sane people turn into murderous blood thirsty monsters but Psychos with guns do[/U][/QUOTE] But Psychos without guns can also kill people, hence why we should focus more on reducing psychos than reducing guns.
the young turks are so fucking retarded
[QUOTE=Judas;42289660]the young turks are so fucking retarded[/QUOTE] On the topic of guns sure, and they do far too many celebrity stories, but I find their political analysis to be much more accurate to reality than the cable media "he said she said" bullshit.
