Well he's absolutely right, why else would we go from a few serial killers before the 1970s to billions of serial killers today?
Oh wait..
Oh wait..
I wonder how he would explain all the serial killers that existed before video games were around
Ok if Gamers lead to Cyber Stalkers and cerial killers the i dont think we would need stealth games... you know... the ones were we stalk people... then kill them. I dont know about the rest of people but that is all the killiing and stalking i do in my life.
This happens because people cannot come to grips with the fact that humanity isn't perfect. We are a violent race, and whenever somebody breaks from social norms and commits an aggressive act of violence, we need to blame something, because we can't accept the fact that there is violence within all of us and that we aren't as civilized as we like to claim.jbchillin said:
Video games have a lot of negative consequences, similar to those of other forms of entertainment. There's an obvious parallel to watching TV - it's a sedentary, solitary, largely non-intellectual, valueless activity.
This is the standard and best argument against video games, yet critics of video games rarely use it, instead relying on ridiculous statements.
The seductive power of video games is based mostly on technological possibility. We conceive that video games may become non-sedentary, non-solitary, intellectual, and somehow valuable, so modern video game players are pioneer sacrifices, wasting their time so that they might pass something valuable on to their children.
Gamers thus require a future of high technology and a course of actions that result in technological progress.
