In this forum topic, a discussion was started about the implication that social mischief is often said to be caused by the appearance of violence in computer games. I quote:
Sonic_aka_T:
It was due to german law. All humans have been replaced by robots.
How lame is that? And sometimes I feel that shit is only gonna get worse... Doesn't anyone read sci-fi to realize where we're going?!?!? We should al demonstrate and burn our presidents before we're born with censorship cirquits built in to our vocal chords...
Rikusu:
The videogame is the cause of all social mischief nowadays. Parents don't need to take care of the upbringing of their children, as long as they don't play videogames. Argh!
How do you feel? Is there any truth in this assertion? Has society in general become more violent? And has the fact that many children play videogames anything to do with that?
I personally believe the main responsibility has to be put by the parents and their ways of upbringing, rather that just saying 'you know that guy who recently shot three of his classmates? He was probably inspired by his video games'.
