its like the song sing for the moment by eminem, ''the next time you assault teh dude, tell the judge it was my fault,and ill get sued'' stop finding reasons to push blame away

[Kumi_K]

yes, look at me, i'm a living example of it

[faith01]

It desensitizes us if anything and movies dont help either.

[scottrotc06]

I think its possible for people to be inspired by video games or maybe be catylyzed by gaming but it all depends on the responsibility of the gamer or parent of a young person. Blaming video games only shifts responsibility away from those who may have commited or allowed the violence.

[WolfTowel]

No, it's a game its not real soem people can't get that thought their heads.

Video games, much like anything else in this world, affect people in some way. If someone is stupid enough to be affected like that, than if it wasn't video games it would be something else.

the People specially parents have to educate their sons and teach how to difference between what its real and what a game is

But i also think that some games affects chils mind because their parents never know thar their children plays

[hein2010]

definetly not, it's just a game. Loads of people who never hurted a fly in their life are playing 'violent' games.

[just_one]

I think most people can draw a line between real life and pressing buttons. But some people cant but they should be considered as mentally unstable to start with in the first place and shouldn't count.

For many people violent video games can be a stress reliever instead of a violence increaser.

[Pierponte]

Nope, it's just a game. Criminal acts are voluntary actions

[Sasha's Account 2nd]

yes it can, ppl think that the world is like a game, try to survive no matter what... so it can cause violence or crimes

[EhoX]

It can efect ppl that already have problems. I can kill thousends of enemies in a videogame but i cant stand the view of REAL violents.

[Nakazato]

If parents were doing there job and spending time with there kids this would not even be a question.

[solaris32]

Heck no. Games don't influence people, they lose control themselves. If anything it's the total mass of violence depicted everywhere, so you can't single video games out because if it is any form of the media, it would be all of it.

[found_dead]

I think this stuff about video games causing violence is rediculous. A lot of video games are based on the violent events in the past. Things that happened before video games were imagined. We get our blood and carnage virtually, Romans brought in the real thing. Video games are just outlets

[na_adik]

in depends if the person can handle it then cannot be corrupted

[saxxx]

No games do not cause a person to do crime....people just say that to have an excuse for not raising there kids right or to blame they're crime or somethin else so they won't have to take so big of a fall....just an opinion...not neccesarily fact...but I really feel that that is how it is

[battleholiday]

They don't. There's been extremely violent crime for all time, and it was the worst in the sixties and seventies.

[ramira]

i dont think that violent vide games could cause violence/crimes.

the larger factor is still the environment where the person grew up. the same person would naturally decline the more violent games by himself.

[Wonkaman360]

No I dont think so I say its the person's social surroundings

[Ancient DS]

I think its more of the environment than the games

[spacecowboyx]

yes it still does affect someone's personality. but that would if they start playing when they're like 6yrs old then probably when they grow they might apply it as a form of reality. but an adult person being affected by it? no! maybe sexual games might ><

[VicViper]

The possibility that violent video games can cause violence / crimes is not zero. But mostly, it depends on their environment and education (especially sex education ).

[dan_fan]

Dumbest question ever. Of course it can, and it does. Controllers don't break themselves, people who get a bad break in a game and lose and throw controllers against the ground do .
