It seems that everyone is looking to blame something or someone for the problems that we face in the world. It's no surprise that violent video games and how they are marketed is constantly under the microscope. Where do you stand on this issue? Does video game violence influence human behavior? Anything you have to say, let's start talking about it. Otherwise, we stand to let someone else make the decisions for us.

Yeah, the proportion of violence caused by video games must be pretty small when it's competing with that caused by people who've just found out their hooker has a d!ck!

Aparantly Tialand have closed down video game arcades because of there influences in gambing and violence. They consider it a form of gambling and addiction

Ahhh, NETiquette, genius.

Yeah, ever since playing road rash on my old mega drive I've had a police ban on riding a bicycle because of the day I wrapped a crow bar round the face of that toddler on a tricycle.
Seriously though, even the tiny number of psychos who are influenced by it would only have the same thing come from a different source, violent films or whatever, and you can't wrap eveyone up in cotton wool and hide all the violence in the entire world from the population.
