Games responsible for terror attacks?

[gronne]

I rarely play videogames at all nowadays, but I used to play a lot of violent videogames before. And I would kick up another one any minute if I felt like it, though I am CERTAIN videogames have negative and positive impacts on us. First off one should ask, why are humans more interested in playing games where you rip the head off of someone than jumping around with Super Mario? And if you claim games don't affect you, then why do you play it?
Of course it affects you, though not only positively.

Every gamer talk about all the positive things about games, and I'd probably agree on a lot, but why do you absolutely refuse to see the negative ones? There's like nothing negative at all about videogames according to you, but why wouldn't there be bad things about it? Drug addicts wouldn't initially say there's anything wrong with heroin, though everyone from the outside knows this clearly.

There are the obvious negative aspects of videogames like obesity and generally bad health if you play all day and eat junkfood. The human body is evolutionary still in the stone ages, we're not meant to sit still for hours upon hours watching a screen, it undoubtedly does have a physically bad affect on us.

And when it comes to violent games that you play all day, it has to have some sort of affect on us, and why would it logically only be a positive one? Sure, I haven't done any studies, but neither have you.
Playing an hour or two a day probably isn't too bad for us, but you guys can't use that excuse because most of you here probably play between 5-8 hours a day, right?

I saw a documentry about this that clearly states that the two towers was not done by torrorists... it was done by the government of america. bombs being planted at the bottom of the buildings was because america wanted to kill Saddam, all because of a stupid trade agreement that did not work, ( i think it was about oil of something ). i dont know witch of the two sides to belive.

You're sort of right - but take note of this post.

A black op. division of Government did carry it out - it wasn't down to Bush, haha. Although Chaney did have direct involvement.

911 was an inside job, simple. We shouldn't insult our own intelligence by not figuring this thing out.

We live in a world of Government Sponsered Terror.
84% of Americans in a recent scientific poll did not believe the US Government had told the truth about 9/11. Well done to those people.

Telling the truth 16%

Hiding something 53%

Mostly lying 28%

Not sure 3%"

Take your time but Watch all these video's. And tell everyone you know. Really.










Don't give me any hassle over this. I am a very sensible, sane person with alot of education and I am not just doing this for fun. It's serious.


And YES, blaming games is ridiculous but I expect it.

Um, actually I believe the Hijackers during 9/11 actually went to flight school, albeit briefly...

And flight simulators are, perhaps, the least violent games out there, why attack them?

Hell why attack video games at all? Because Jack Thompson is a ****ing asshole, with nothing better to do.

um, f*ck them? the terrorists went to a friggen flight school. why not blame the fricken school then. jack thompson sucha tard, pisses me off

Yes. You know what I notice. It is the schools fault. Those kids at columbine wouldnt have brought those guns to school if no school existed right? Same goes for flight school. 9/11 would never have happened if flight schools didnt exist.

These above statements I feel are more logical than Jack the jackass Thompson's theory on how video games make you violent because he would agree that not all violent games trigger violent behavior in children and even still removing all violent games will not rid the world of crime.

However simply by removing these educational facilities these violent crimes would never have happened correct?

At the end of the day Jack Thompson is just your average lawyer... no, worse... a conservative Christian lawyer. He gives a $#@! not whether the companies exist or if a kid kills another kid or why this child might do that. He is in it for the green. How can i back this idea? Take a look at some of the moronic suggestions hes made in the passed. Things a person with common sense would never do such as forcing kids to say that they play violent video games after they commit a crime, even though most of these kids suffer from psychological disorders such as depression its always the video games fault. Forget the fact that the child lives with bad examples in their homes, have drug and alcohol problems, or have other mental disorders its always the video games fault.

This ******* figures he can milk this thing forever as he can every now and again weasle his way into winning some cash for himself. Meanwhile no one takes him seriously so it's an endless supply of cash income for him.

What a jack ass.

The president actually signed 'order W199i' which prevented the suspects from being picked up by decent FBI agents.
The manager at the flight school said they didn't even qualify to fly a small 2 man plane, never mind know anything about a Boeing 757.

Some of the "alleged" hijackers were also "trained" at air force bases.
I say "trained" because they didn't even gain enough experience to be able to fly in a straight line in ANY plane, nevermind the spectaculer moves they supposedly carried out on 757.

The airforce/flight school attendance story is just to cover the fact that those planes were set on an automatic flight path and the Hijackers were set-up. They were actually working as part of a government terror "drill" which was eventually admitted to be happening at the exact same time. Little did they know that they were actually taking part in a "flase flag" terror attack.

Anyway, I could talk for hours and hours about this.
Seriously, just watch the vid's on my previous posts.

This thread has strayed off topic. Please, we must be conscious of these serious dangers in our modern society and not drift into discussions of conspiracy theories.
I know many of you are from the UK and Europe, so you are not yet aware of these subtle dangers like videogames. The next of these dangers can be prevented! It has already overtaken much of the United States! Beware of the spread of obesity! You must act before it is too late. Please, if you value your country, society, and freedom take action NOW and ban spoons.

[gronne]

Well it actually is a pretty serious issue and considering videogaming is so widespread it'd be stupid not to analyze it's affects, right? Or maybe you're "spoon-fed"

The reason no one will take that documentary seriously, is due to it's bashing nature. Everything about videogames can't be bad, people wouldn't use it if everything about it was bad. People wouldn't use heroin or cocaine if everything was bad about it. It's just more obvious what's good and bad about drugs than videogames. And if you don't even mention the positive affects, no one will take the criticism seriously.

Firstly, If you took yourself seriously you really shouldn't dismiss the issue as a "conspiracy theory". It's amazing how many people throw around those two words as some sort of attempt to show someone as slighty 'odd' or 'whacky'. That's exactly the attitude that has passed on to people by the media. If only more people cared enough to actually take notice of what really is going on.

Secondly, Yes, I agree this thread has moved off topic but what is this comment supposed to mean - "I know many of you are from the UK and Europe, so you are not yet aware of these subtle dangers like videogames.." ???
