Can we ban fucking, because that can lead to STDs and I think we all know that AIDS comes from more than just shared restrooms and public fountains.

Can we ban Big Brother? No real reason, I just hate that show.

Hey while were at it lets ban fun as well because those parliment members have no idea what that is(unless they have fun banning things that make people sad).

My argument against anyone who claims that violent video games are the cause of violent behavior is this: People who play violent video games are obviously playing the game! Someone doesn't just play Call of Duty for three hours, shut the game off, and decide to go kill someone for the hell of it.

If someone (i.e. Politicians) are making the assumption that violent games are the root cause of violent behavior, they need to talk to a psychologist. Violent tendencies start very young, and signs can be seen prior to the age of five. Most of the time, it is a genetic disposition; much like the risk of becoming an alcoholic or having depression. It's in the blood of those unfortunate.

Yes, someone can just snap at some point, but that cannot be blamed on violent video games. Like I said, someone doesn't just play CoD for a few hours and then decide to go on a killing spree. It's stimulated from somewhere (or someone) else that results in violent behavior.

I was just having this discussion (about violent games) with one of my lecturers yesterday, and she said something that I think makes more sense. It's that people are simply afraid of violent media producing violent people, be it games, television, or films; and fear can be easily exploited.

In any case they should ban football then, it seems like that sport promotes rioting and barbaric behavior among its fans :\

What a knob. Consider this argument: tens of millions of people have bought and played Call of Duty since the first Modern Warfare. Does anyone know of a single violent act that can be directly, or even indirectly attributed to the CoD series?

Politicians shouldn't play r16 games. They act like children so why not treat them like them.

Sigh
