Amusingly, psychologists and neurologists agree now that violent video games DECREASE stress and make the person who plays them LESS LIKELY to commit violent crimes.
The media, however, still defaults to video games as the root cause for violent crime.
Food for thought.

Ah, i do love it when you can just smell the shit coming out of the news. This is the most typical response for why a child will commit crimes. Reality is, it's usually only the method which a video game will imply, and underlying causes are usually what cause the rampage(Assholes all around)

So you got wind of the hullabaloo over the USA's Supreme Court ruling that video games are protected speech eh? I will say this, thanks to the pressure the ESRB has a more detailed rating system then Hollywood made after similar pressure.

personally i don't think the lawyers+politicians believe this is what happens. They just say they do so they can get more money/votes.
and if they do make a 40k MMO, i think the only way to do that would be to take a Dark Heresy style approach.

He isn't a violet gamer though.. he's simply a fireman rushing to an explosion/fire at the town's ketchup plant...and was asleep wearing his novelty Mario hat.
If he'd been wearing a Wario hat I'd think he'd be a ax murderer plowing through a street full of civilians, but since it's mario.....

While claiming that all Christians think this way is ridiculous, it's a sad truth that there are those (extremists) that do. Of course, this isn't restricted to Christianity, or any religion really.
