New Study: Most Teenagers are Unaffected by Violent Gaming

[GonzoGamer]

New yorkers with base ball bats hurt people.

You know it. The one I keep by the door is sawn off: good for those tight spaces - like doorways.

I too think it's a little weird that they still feel the need to do studies on this.

On tomorrows news-
Psychologist proclaims that son of sam would've killed a bunch of people even if his neighbor's dog hadn't told him to do it.
Mayor Bloomberg still wants to outlaw canines.

So once again Science has wasted its time proving something most non idiots already knew way before this.

Let's see how much time since a new "study" is released to contradict this one

Oh, video games have desensitized me from violence (Of course, I had depression, so I might fit into the role mentioned above), but the whole "They're more likely to cause violence" is bullshit. It's not a matter of not being affected by violence, it's a matter of being affected by morals you dumbasses. I don't hurt people because I know it's wrong, not because the idea disgusts me. If you're really worried about your kids, teach them that violence is wrong, don't ***** about the man behind the wizard screwing with their heads. The wizard has no power.

I'm going to stop before this turns into a full blown rant.

Next Science research project...

Grass grows, Birds fly, and New yorkers with base ball bats hurt people.

Is...is that...is that...Jim Carrey's face on Lady Gaga? Wow...

OT: In other news: Grass is green, fire burns and water remains wet.

It takes them years of research but us rational gamers already knew the answer before these Fox News imbeciles and the like started their crusade with so-called results.

I am glad some other party done this research. We may sigh at another obvious fact but some people just don't want to listen to US.

We'll make them listen! With violence if necessary!

 

[Macgyvercas]

Finally, we get backing for something we have been claiming since NINETEEN SEVENTY-FUCKING-TWO.

Maybe Fox will get off our case now. I hope...

About time they finally say that violent media attract violent people and fox news will report this study when Hell freeze over and Fred Phelps come out of the closet.

[HEADING=1]WHAT VIDEO GAMES DON'T CAUSE VIOLENCE!? [/HEADING]
My mind is completely blown apart.

Let's see how much time since a new "study" is released to contradict this one

one that anti-video game activists PAYED for.

Okay everyone, we all know this, but we are gamers. Lets not forget that not everyone thinks the same way about games as we do and this study is a great step towards a more balanced understanding of the hobby. This study is great.

/patronizing

 

[Irridium]

Honestly, we know this. Any normal person can see this as the case.

Well just more (metaphorical) ammo for us to use in the Supreme Court.

 

[ImprovizoR]

This is really great news. Not I don't have to worry that I'll go crazy one day and start killing random people in the streets.

What's next, a study that proves that sea water is salty? This is common knowledge for any logical person who played 1 violent game in their life.

 

[Karlaxx]

We've only been saying this for how long..

Ya but at least somebody said it from a position of "authority" instead of us poor maladjusted gamers. *sigh*

I do like that the person specifically said that people aren't blank slates thus the Devil Made Me Do It excuse is weak. Rapists buy porn but porn doesn't make rapists. The reason that rapists buy porn as opposed to the reason the normal guy buys porn is what makes him a rapist.

Sorry, this is one of my pet internet fights and thus I am a little too happy to have more ammo. So you get your choice of hug, fist bump, or high five to help me celebrate.

/fistbump

Maybe this one will have some impact.

 

[Baralak]

Hooray for science discovering common sense!

 

[Shoggoth2588]

So violent video games don't turn teenagers into walking assault, battery and, murder charges. rapelay games still make rapists of them *is quickly ka-bonked*
