Fox reporter defends video game violence; new world record set for number of jaws dropped - Polidicks

I lost it at God. Edit: Also The Sims 3 is a prime exam.... wait that's all i've read on facepunch, PEOPLE HE IS RIGHT GAMES ARE TEH MURDER SIMULATORS

Does anybody even take these people seriously anyway? Nothing will come of violent video games, they will try and try but nothing will ever happen, they won't go away

Yet another old guy who self-admittedly doesn't know what he's talking about trying to attack video games. Maybe he should be more concerned with families like his own where they're giving firearms to children. You know, firearms that can [i]kill[/i] people? Pretty certain playing games doesn't cause people's deaths :v:

Stossel is probably the only Fox News reporter that I can stand

Fox Business isn't as conservative as Fox News, though most would think otherwise (I would too)

[QUOTE=blehblehbleh;41152002]Nailed to a tree? Isn't that some Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy description? Edit hahaha indeed it was [/QUOTE] its actually fairly common for the cross jesus was crucified on to be referred to as a tree, so i doubt that guy was making a hitchhikers reference.

You gotta have something mentally wrong with you to take TV, movie and video games seriously, it's the people who have those problems we should be more concerned about, not the average joe

Can't wait until Saints Row 4 comes out when they discover that the president of the U.S is a psychopath. [editline]23rd June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=spekter;41152088]"We need god's help" Yep lets just pray those troubled violent people away. Glad the reporter brought the comic book thing into it, that's always been a primary example of how people just want to blame the newest forms of entertainment for violence committed by younger people.[/QUOTE] That's not how praying works. You don't pray for someone to just go away, or for someone to get better. You pray for someone to come in and help get rid of violence, or for a doctor to do everything he can to help someone recover. I know FP is like, 99.991% against religion, but come on. At least try to be somewhat informed on the subject you're criticizing. Doesn't mean I agree with the guy in the video, he's a moron.

people [B]need[/B] to understand that[I] only the ones that are fucked up off the bat are the ones that find video game violence an ignition for violence.[/I] However, [U]anything[/U] and [U]anyone[/U] can be the trigger. normal people aren't affected by shit, their "fragile atheist morals" aren't "Shattered to bits and pieces and their innocence stripped away and they crave for the blood of man" when they play a fucking video game. If anything, as it's been stated many times, video games is an escape and therefore actually REDUCES violence. and then he said "I agree with you we do need evidence" :siren:[i]YOU'LL ARGUE THIS AND THEN SAY "I HAVE NO ACTUAL PROOF"?[/i]:siren:

Fox news or not, he's generally very polite, informative, and interesting.

I wish he'd stop interjecting about God and needing his help. He's the kind of people that need help, not people who play video games. Here let me pull some bullshit out of my ass and then throw God in it somehow to win over the 90% of the country that still believe in a God, so no matter what I say it will be more popular than it should be

It's so sad Stossel could be on any network I bet but he's stuck on Fox

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;41152529]Japan's so safe, you could sleep on a park bench overnight and wake up intact.[/QUOTE] Everything but your hymen

Stossel is pretty cool imo, doesn't surprise me he defended it. Good on him.

I wanna hug this Stossel dude.

I watched the first couple of seconds of that fuck talking and immediatley thought, "Oh please old man, enough of your bullshit/ mumbo jumbo/ jesus christ shit, that has nothing to do with violence in video games."

[QUOTE=NoShogun;41152785]growing up in a christian family, I can tell you that many people do pray like "god just come and fix this now pls"[/QUOTE] Eh, my parents are more of the opinion that "God helps those who help themselves". Kind of unusual in this day and age?

As soon as he started with, 'God..', I turned off. Man 1: You believe in God? Man 2: No. *Man 1 shoots Man2* Man 1: You believe in God? Man 3: Yes. Man 1: Do you believe in my God? Man 3: No. *Man 1 shoots Man 3* Man 1: My God's got a bigger dick than your God. Religion and God love death! If a child plays an 18-cert game, they are likely to grow up believing what they seen is right, like the sponges they are. The initial cause however, is parenting. Too many people on the planet, a lot of shitty parents.

Could you guys shut up about this god stuff? Its irrelevant.

god that layout is horrendous

John Stossel is my political idol!

My favorite part was the guy saying "When I was a kid, we all had guns and nobody went around shooting people!" Same for video games.

Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over. -A joke by Emo Phillips

Mr. God Reverend said its a "...farcry from videogames.." A FARCRY 3 RIGHT!

So... he admits he doesn't know anything at all or how it relates but still wants to ban and or tax them. Wow... just wow.
