CBS debates Video Games
Deacon:
I tell you what, I was really surprised how enraged I got reading that horrible lawyer's bullshit. I mean, usually beligerant ignorance doesn't get under my skin like that, but I wanted to just punch that guy in the mouth. Too bad that's no longer socially acceptable.
Digs:
Hm. Punch, you say?
Do you play video games?

--- Quote ---There is plenty of blame to go around. The parents must do a better job, but you know what? When we were on 60 Minutes the Sunday after Columbine (we predicted Columbine on NBC's Today eight days before it happened) with the parents in Paducah, Ed Bradley asked Joe James "Isn't this a parent's responsibility?" Joe said "Ed, I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. I had my daughter in school and in a pre-school prayer meeting where she was shot and killed. If I hadn't raised her right, she'd be alive today."
You see, the industry is selling these games to kids whose parents are reckless. How is that Joe Jame's fault? We need to punish the industry and the parents who are putting innocent people in harm's way.

What the hell is Jack Thompson's problem. It was a tragedy indeed. It was unfortunate that that guy's daughter was there when she was, but video games did not put her in harm's way. The ones who did that were the ones with the guns.
IronOxide:
The thing that bothers me the most about the argument against video games is how they say that it leads people to become antisocial. I say that a person makes their own decisions. My family has had many more arguments arise from who gets to be what hot wheels cars.
Whoever claims to be negetively affected by video games is lying. The same goes for books, music, movies, and TV. Censorship is an unacceptable way to deal with things that make you uncomfortable.
