This is so stupid. If someone can be influenced so highly by games you know what the problem is?? Their upbringing, the most likely reason they are fucked up is because their parents did a shit job of bringing them or they were bullied in school. Not because they played a game.

I play BF2, CS:S, BF2142, but i have never thought of shooting people at my school, i dont know what is wrong with these kids, but its not the game, its their mentality.

QFT.

On another note, I should be serving multiple consecutive life sentences for all the people I've killed in shooters.
Actually, probably the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

Fucked up people will do fucked up things, regardless of other influences. The only effect (and this is limited) that any video game (or any other influence) will have is the style in which they commit these "fucked up" acts.


I have little more to say.

"some say may have led to his inspiration"

Who says? Some? Who is some??

Look a society not computer games if your looking to lay blame.

FFS. I'm getting tired of hearing this sh*t everytime some dude who goes nuts starts shooting people.
Instead of taking the easy way out; " It is because of video games " they might start looking at the real problem, and that 's our society. If they want to blame video games, let 's also blame action/horror/thriller movies, the news, ...
If people really believe this shit happens because of FPS games, they're stupid.
There have been people who went nuts and started killing people randomly before killing themselves.
It doesn't matter whether they use a gun or not.

A normal person wouldn't say; "Hey, shooting people in CS/BF/... is fun, I'll try that in my school tomorrow."
Besides, the kid left a video message to explain why he went on a "killing spree" in his school.
He was going mad on how the other kids and teachers bullied him and laughed at him. I have never heard him mention CS once.

Perhaps they could start checking if serial killers don't have manhunt of GTA on their PC's..

Perhaps we should arrest America; thanks to their invasion of Iraq, there is now more violence on the news than before. And let's not forget ice hockey and S&M porn.

The thing is we can distinguish between gaming and real life(except whilst dreaming) and the ones who do this can't. They just think they'll respawn

Honestly, this is a laod of BS.  Hell theres kids over in Iraq and the middle east actually shooting and killing people.  They dont come back and go on a rampage and kill their friends. Then again apprently playing a virtual version of this makes you go kill people.  viloence has been exposed to children for centurys, its not the violence its the upbringing.  Just my view on it.

I think FPS games are therapeutic.  Allows us to take aggression out on digital enemies.

I thought I posted this, but I guess it got lost in the vast space of the Internets:

If Germany is going to outlaw FPSes over one school shooting, the USA should outlaw any media or entertainment that isn't Teletubbie Hug Time.
