if you read this news article www.mywii.com.au/ it says that this kid killed his brother because of VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES!!! Why do they blame video games? what about music and movies those get pretty violent too. they automatically blamed they gamers!!!!! as I said in my post in the news article when you kill someone in a game you don't actually imagine yourself killing someone you just do it for points or weapons to get more points with. this also happened after the Virginia Tech Massacre. I was watching the news the day of the massacre and guess what... THEY BLAMED GAMERS!!! But guess what it turned out the killer NEVER EVER played video games. who agrees with me?!?!?!?!?!

"I don't believe the actual game itself was the cause of it. I don't believe they were acting out in any way or mimicking anything in a video game. I believe it was actual use of the game and whose turn it was," said Lansdowne Police Chief Daniel Kortan.
UMM i dosent say anywhere that the game was the cause.

cue Jack Thompson in 3..2...1...

Anyway, if you read the article carefully, the police chief actually says that the stabbing wasn't brought about by the video game.

Moose, don't be mad. What you are seeing is called projection. When someone can't accept something they project it (the blame) onto an external source. It's a way to cope mentally without having to address the problem yourself.

Anyway, I like your new avatar hat Moose.

no just conferming your point that there isnt a link between game play and social behavour.

There was talk in a newspaper not that long ago, that there may be a link between social behavour and the types of games we choice to play. But not the other way around.

Your showing your niave age there Moose. If you had a death sentance up against you (even a life sentance for that matter) you would do anything to get off it. Like all of us Moose you will grow up, and realise things about the world that you never knew existed..

Enjoy the time while your young Moose but I guarantee your opinions will change...and if they dont and your still heavily playing video games while your thirty and letting them control your life then we will blame the video games!

Dont take offence Moose. Just something you learn with time.

Those storys have been around for over 25 years. I believe that even space invaders was blamed for an increase in voilent crime in the 70's
