I blame the riots on people rioting.
I blame it on the tea they're drinking.
I've played over 100 hours of mount and blade warband, and I'm in the SCA, next I'll be running around in plate armor cleaving mall shoppers in half with a glaive

Clearly modern music is actually responsible for this.
I blame the riots on teenagers that go out and break shit because they think it's cool.

She's got a PhD in making up PhDs.
She wants a nanny state.
Now that is some funny shit right there. Really violent video games does not lead to violence directly. PHD in Video Game Psychology, now that is a bullshit title.
What were riots before blamed on before video games? Violent movies? Violent music? Violent books? Seems silly to blame it on violent video games when riots have happened, especially with our youth, before a time when video games even existed.
[QUOTE=CharadesV2;31818872]What were riots before video games blamed on? Violent movies? Violent music? Violent books?[/QUOTE] Its those darn comic books. Teachin' the children devil worship and how to preform vigilante justice.
No it's not chavs only, there must be social unrest and general unhappiness in the people if things like this happen. Mostly the poor class. Your government should take a good hard look into it, it's not videogames, it's not because of that random guy that got shot, it's something far beyond a precise cause.

I think they're confusing video games with human nature.

I've logged a whole month's worth of time in Postal 2. Am I morally obligated to grab a shotgun, jam a cat anus-first on its barrel, and go ventilate some heads? [editline]19th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=yawmwen;31819202]not directly but it does directly increase aggression[/QUOTE] Same thing with sports. And sometimes with socialization.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;31819273] Same thing with sports. And sometimes with socialization.[/QUOTE] all violent media increase aggression. socialization i dont think has a long lasting impact on aggression and even if it does it is a requirement for mental health so it is unavoidable.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;31819202]not directly but it does directly increase aggression[/QUOTE] I agree, Jo Frost does increase aggression.
