So with all this talk of gun control and the news media freaking out every time there is a violent act the question has come up: Does violent video games make you a violent person? This question seems to come up every freaking time a kid does something violent, people look into his life and go "ah! he played Deep Space 9!" or "He played Grand Theft Auto!" Like this explains why he became violent and decided to comment a crime. I have seen news people do this and am like, uuuuuuuhhhhh............. o.0
I mean I can see where they are coming from but seriously. One of the first video games I remember playing was Super Mario World. So what people are saying that I am going to become a violent person because I stomped on Gombas heads? WHAT??????...... NO! Okay so I realize that there are some really violent video games out there. But I have played a few and I can say that I have never felt like going out and robbing a bank or something. The only video game that made my have violent thoughts was Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. I love this game, it truly is a classic super nintendo, but I remember several times when I was running around in the game for hours trying to find out what to do and getting so mad I wanted to throw the super nintendo out a window. This has been the only violent action I have ever had when playing a video game. I don't like it how one of the things news people look at is if the person played violent video games. We have had psychopaths years before video games! What did they train on? the Andy Griffith show?
I think instead of looking at the video games they need to look at the family life, what morals the kid was raised on. News people just what to throw video games under the bus, I don't think they want to look at morals because it might challenge there agenda.
