Hi all, theres been massive debates over the years on the news etc, on videos games influencing violent behaviour in kids Just wondering what your opinions are on it?

I personally think no it doesn't because i would think nearly everyone can separate games from reality, but saying this if a child is brought up from a really young age playing lets say, GTA V. They could think this is all normal behaviour in the real world.

What are your thoughts?

No, I do not. I get angry at a game but it does not make me want to go out and murder people or steal things. When someone does something and blame it on video games they already have some kind of brain problem but use video games as an excuse .

I think it's stupid when parents send complaints to the companies of games like GTA V to complain that the games are too violent for their kids to be playing. Uhh.. hello.. don't buy them the game? Like really.

**** no video games don't cause violence. I have been playing video games for years and when people say that I want to **** kill them and their families. Barely anybody that **** plays video games is even violent. I bet you wouldn't **** call me violent to my face you little bitch. I would **** sock you in the mouth and then stomp your **** face in on the pavement you little bitch. I hope you **** die.

No, not at all. People have to be already messed up in the head to be influenced to do crazy things.

If video games influenced violence, everyone would be doing it.

Well yea I mean there could be a kid that comes home from a terrible day at school and kills people on a video game instead of not playing and then bringing a real gun to school the next day so I would say it helps.

By the way, in case you guys didn't notice, I was kidding. But I do think video games cause violence, but only in certain people. Video games help me release my violence, but in influences others.
