    That must be causing all the accidents

    No, just like I don't think we should be censoring books. But that doesn't mean they are harmless. They may, in fact, be quite harmful, and both consumers and creators should be aware of this. It looks like the link between video game violence and long-term effects on psychology is not to this point well established.

    They should ban cars and if that doesn't work, ban criminals.

    Not sure about this, but I’m all for putting Parental Advisory stickers on CD’s. Can we make it happen? Who’s with me?

    Legit thought this was gonna be a bumped thread from 20 years ago. I thought the “ban video games” crowd dissolved in the 90s

    These video game haters can't explain why crime existed before they created video games

    As I said, the majority of people are stupid
    except for a few chosen ones
