Video games 'worse' than porn

[KukriKhan]

...there has already been a few generations of video gamers with no spike in massacres (Take into account the population growth here), as well as countless generations of erotic entertainment aficionados.

A very good point. If we take away 1970's Pong, and start with the 1980's Mario Brothers, then by now we should expect to see hundreds of thousands of drooling, thumb-twitching, head-bashing age 40-something (and below) murderers, IF vid games had the deleterious effects predicted.

I'm old enough to remember the same predictions being made about: television, rock 'n roll, and comic books. And marijuana. And girlie magazines.

Video games are the current Great Satan that corrupts our youth and turns them into mindless killers. When the next new media comes along, people will back off games and panic about it, instead.

I wonder if the poor video game graphics of the late 70's inspired this shooting.

So, wich negative influence does porn exert - does it create rapists, or what? [to whoever]

I guess it's the same negative influence cited by elders since at least Socrates: corruption of youth and subversion of culture.

I blame property taxes.

Not suggesting that you are old enough to remember…

A friend of mine posted about the game Bonetown on his Facebook page. It's a game that features tons of sex and drugs, but no violence other than being able to knock someone out during combat. I didn't click on the NSFW links, but it's an amusing idea from a guy who thinks it's hypocritical that games contain lots of violence but avoid graphic sex and drug use.

I cringed at the name.

A sociopath with a penchant for violence being given a rifle for her birthday?

Here is a rather lengthy opinion from the Times. It seems doom is near. (naturally, it is written by a feminist)

I remember one day I was walking to school, I was about 15, and I got talking to a girl who must have been about 18. I immediately said I wanted to grope her breasts. ”

For Jim, pornography “has destroyed my ability to have intimate relationships”.

But how can boys not see it?

“More like 100%,” he said. “It’s when you’re 13 and 14 that everyone starts looking and talking about it at school — before you’re having sex, you’re watching it.

This is so funny

I was a t work and this young woman asked me which of those men-magazines I would recommend her for some guy.
When I told her I don't "read" that kind of magazine, she didn't want to believe me.
Didn't help her though, it hardly helps to try and ignore the truth...

I could recommend some killergames though.

You don't "read" that kind of papers, you actually just enjoy the pictures.

You're not fooling anyone, Husar.
