What a waste of time this thread is.

[phnompehn]

Well, I knew how much your existence has in common with wastes of time, so I thought you'd love it.

They apologized for it because they're already in enough hot water over the violent content of the videogame, they didn't need someone calling them racists.

I didn't read your article, but whatever group of Hatians complained about it needs to realize that by associating themselves with, quite literally, the street gang in the video game they discredit their argument entirely

repeated Exposure DESENSITISES us. It doesn't make us walk into the street steal a sportscar then pick up some hookers and kill police! all it does is makes us not guve a damn thats all.

How come you never see anything like, "The President of Rockstar Games, when asked for comment, forcefully gripped his abdomen and cackled until a co-worker calmed him with a few pats on the back and a glass of water."

I didn't give a damn in the first place.
In fact, after reading your post, I care even less. If that was possible.

Because for some reason video game companies pretend to give a shit about public opinion. I'd be all over the cackling scene.

"video" and "game".

a "video" is a series of moving pictures to give the illusion of animation and "game" is a pretend fun thing.

I was under the assumption that humans were the smartest animal on the planet...

My psych professor in the summer talked about this and laughed at all the fringe lunatics that claim without a doubt that violence on TV and in games causes violence in people.

See, there's two kinds of relationships between two variables: causal and correlational. With causal, you can definitively say that A caused a change in B. With correlational, you can only say that when you change A, there appears to be an effect on B, but there are extraneous variables so you can't make any conclusion without being laughed at by everyone else. You actually get mad props in the scientific community for admitting that you couldn't come up with anything.

Maybe violent kids are attracted to violent video games and play them more than other people? HAHA THE TABLES HAVE TURNED.

yeah no shit... your taste in music, TV and games doesnt create your behavior... its the other way around.

"man, I really want to kill a cop and rape someone.... if I could *just* find the right music and video game to get me in the mood!"

I'm with Mr.Adventure. This thread sucks.

It's not like any of you have any kids of your own. So if none of this shit effects you, why even talk about it?

[mesobe]

why talk about anything?

its a fucking forum. what the hell else are we suppose to do?

[Helm]

You're supposed to shut the fuck up, mesobe.

Thank you.

[mesobe]

or bitch about how every thread sucks.

[Helm]

no, shut the fuck up. Do you understand? Shut, the fuck, up.

[mesobe]

blah blah blah blah
