Trump to hold video games meeting.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43325712‘.... the games industry has defended itself, saying there is no evidence to suggest a link between violent games and real-life violent actions‘
You would say anything to make a profit even if meant mass shootings/deaths by kids
To hell all of you
Absolute insanity by some sections of humanity
For once I agree with him. Young children are anesthetised to the horror and long lasting effects of violence by these games where people are battered and shot and yet no one gets hurt and no one else suffers. They end up emotionally deprived and immune to the horrors that violence brings
TV violence should also be addressed
No smoking on TV because of its influence
No violence on TV because of its influence
I wonder who poisoned that Russian chap?
Putins pals?
The people who killed Lady Diana?
The people who benefit the most are... The British Establishment !
May Trump serve as a lesson to all you meddling liberals out there...when you take things too far people will vote for your worst nightmare.
Not content with your brexit achievement you just have to keep pushing and pushing...always looking for a new "project".
if 'video games are plainly not the issue' then why are these violent games rated 18? they may not be the principle issue but when kids as young as 5 are playing them (and they are) its not gonna help matters. the lack of gun control in the states is scary but Trump is right to look for the root cause(s) for kids having the desire to carry out such attacks.
If TV and videos have no influence on people then smoking should be allowed and all anti smoking legislation repealed
Your naive if you think these violent games don't warp the minds of those juveniles playing them.
I'd also question why there are games that involve doing things that are illegal, it makes no sense.
Time we stopped living in a world of facade's
Banning guns in America will just be a further step of turning the country into a EU like state with ever growing governmental control over citizens lives. This issue does not stop people moving to the US rather than china. These shooting never happened when "thou shall not kill" was on the wall in every school. The video games does fill kids heads with garbage by the way
To all you folks advocating gun control, I say think a little more deeply.
#2A "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
I prefer liberty.
I disagree with almost everything Trump says but in this case I think he may be onto something. Violence is increasing in society and in tandem with this some video games are INCREDIBLY violent, I personally think there is probably some form of link.
there have been a number of shootings where the shooter has used violent video games on purpose to de-sensitise themselves in preparation for carrying out real killing. - norway killer, isis people etc. The need for excessive gore in games (and films) is macabre. the extra level of involvement in a game just encourages people to blur the line between real and "entertainment".
Did Rap music and Rappers not be the reason for gun violence some years ago?
If the theory holds true, given the amount of time kids in this country spend playing FIFA, shouldn't we have won the world cup by now?
