No way, better people get pissed and shoot some virtual people than real life people. Other than that it's government control and telling us what's best, and the economy would take a pretty big hit from certain video games being illegal, other than that it's also completely idiotic to "protect" people from themselves, if it were up to me we would also not have any form of censorship or any other bull like that, kids shouldn't be sugar-coated, it's unhealthy.

Parents and politicians were !@#$%*ing about heavy metal in the 80's, video games are simply the newest scape goat for societies problems.
No, they shouldn't be banned. Don't like it, don't play it, problem solved. -------------------- QUOTE (Herakles @ Jun 6 2009, 07:40 PM)  I will provide a source but I WILL NOT BE NAGGED ^Most epic Boiler Room post ever.

I don't think violent video games should be banned, but many of them seriously need their age-limit to be raised. As long as the video doesn't teach you HOW to be violent, but rather just lets you PLAY violently, I'm fine with it. If your objective is to plant a pipe-bomb at the enemy's headquarters... I'm fine with it. If it goes through a step-by-step process on how to create a pipe bomb, then I'd be concerned.
If you're not capable of discerning reality from fiction, then you don't need to play violent video games, and parents shouldn't be buying those types of games for young children. --------------------  w a i n of Chimera Remember District of York Sept. 2006 - July 2009 |

Banning violent video games is silly. As is banning violence on TV. I'd hate my life and quite possibly go postal if the only movies we had were !@#$ like Ameilie, or whatever the heck it is called.
But you've all been influenced by video games, whether you like to admit it or not.

The banning of violence makes violence a problem. I heard that native american tribes generally didn't have violence of any sort (no bow and arrow shootings or conoe stealing).

But what the hell would that accomplish, really? The way things are now is fine, there is a rating system that will warn us if there is any objectionable material in the game, hell, it will even warn us about any tobacco use in a game for crying out loud. It's been said plenty of times in this thread already, but bad parents are just using video games as a scapegoat. -------------------- Interim signature

The Cree (Not too sure if it was them) around a lake in BC (the name has "heart" in it, thats all I remember) tore out the hearts of their enemies and hung them on trees. The Aztec empire had weapons that could split a man in half, not to mention their relisious sacrefices. That is just a microfraction of violence in the First Nations. Violence has existed long before videogames, and people just want a scapegoat. --------------------  QUOTE (America @ Jul 7 2008, 09:27 PM) 16 what?
