This is bull$#@! and is a government campaign to prove that video games are bad. Visit www.theeca.com for the truth.

I read in an article of PC gamer about 2 years ago about violence and video games. And the inconvient truth thanks to data from the Department of Justice is that violent crime among teens and adolescents is down considerably, SINCE the advent of video games.

I don't a give a rat's ****ing ass what any scientist says about video games. I have lived in a house with guns and games all my life and I have NEVER put the two together. They can go **** themselves with their government propoganda.

So do people who don't know how to f*cking drive. I'd be far more likely to kill someone because of that than I would because of a violent video game. I've raised two sons, allowing them to play "violent" video games through their teens, and they both have dispositions that are much, much gentler than mine. Explain that one with your study.

Please peddle your "Dr. Phil" pop-psychology somewhere else.

I can guarantee that school can make a person more agressive.

Pop psychology isn't based on real studies, this is. The real BS pop psychology is people who think that "venting" prevents them from being violent.

Here's just one study out of many out there that show this is false. They found that "doing nothing at all was more effective than venting anger." People were angry at somone, half of them got to punch a punching bag and the other half got to sit around and stew about it. When they were given the ability to hurt them with annoying loud noises, the people that "vented" punished them with more and louder noises. But we don't need studies to tell us that, we know that out of common sense.

It's funny, when science undermines religion, a lot of people are all over it. But when the same scientists simply suggest that there is a small causal role between between video games and aggression, you criticize them. (and without even reading thier studies but taking some jackass reporter's word for it).

If you should be angry at anyone, you should be angry at the media for misrepresenting studies and using them to suit thier agenda.
