I think it was worse back then. Killing witches, african americans, jews and other people. At least most of that has stopped. I feel Im wrong but, just an example.
I agree with you. *sexes*

Its not violent video games that are causing it violence in children and teens has actually discreased since violent video games came out in the early 90's.
Anybody who claims that video games cause violence will be punched in the gut by your truly. That's just one of the many rediculous statements that PISS me off.

..Of course maybe some people DO have a legitimate reason of sorts to hate the awesomeness that are video games. If you have an easily-offended mind, a) you suck and b) don't go to this URL:

comics aren't proof
right. comics are fictitious. comics have nothing to do with reality or violence. they offer no real proof, but that doesnt matter because neither dirtyhippie or the_gunslinger are offerring an argument to supply proof for.

Yes, it's terrible. A woman drowned in a stream near me. We don't know whether someone pushed her, or whatever. But people said they heard screams of "help".
I agree with what someone said earlier about the video games, i live off them. But there was an article about 6 year olds or something playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and they stabbed somebody..? I don't know, but it was something like that. But for this example, i blame the parents for buying it. It clearly says "18" on the front. But anyway.
Anyone seen these latest bullying thing? Kids are now being stabbed in the one place parents think they are safe; school. It's just horrible.

are you too damn lazy to write out your own argument or do you just want to quit pretending you're part of the crowd and paste some one else's argument here and say you completely believe them and trust them?

Fell:
I was a home a few days ago and I think there where gun shots. I could hear something. But I'm not totaly sure because my friend lives near my house and he has firecrackers.

But yes the world is violent. Why?

Because people have a strong will to live, an even stronger will to learn all there is because all we want is the best for or selves.

Some people are to full of there selves to ever admit they'd ever do some thing wronge.

I mean look at bush. Wasn't he there for the"wepons of mass distruction"?

What he looking for now? I mean while florida was being ripped apart by hurricans he was worried about a boat crash in mississippi that killed two children.

Whats wronge with the guy. He needs a reality check.

But over all yes. I think the world is getting more and too violent. I mean last year some guy was murderd at my school.


Bush saves thousands by disarming ALL terrorists (not just Saddam, check your facts) and you're bitching about a boat crash, firecrackers (potential gun SHOTS), and a murder totalling three deaths?

the world isn't GETTING violent, it's decreasing in violence, it will always be violent and never perfect

I would much prefer to get shot, than to be hung drawn and quartered, personally.

Or burnt alive

Or have my hands chopped off

Violence is part of human nature, but the methods have changed, and people have become aware that maybe such suffering doesn't come to much good. Therefore, i think the world has become less violent.

You don't get invading soldiers pillaging your town, setting it alight, raping you and then stabbing you with a spear or whatnot. Instead, probably just raped and shot. I dont know. It hasn't happened to me.

I think its toned down, and less willy-nilly, so perhaps you could say it was more concentrated, making the acts of violence more violent. But i don't think so.

Society is less violent now because its not PC.

Training kiddies to mame a sand-bag causes violence.

Hey yeah i think much younger kids who are given games like those would get evil ideas most definately. There were these eight year olds and they bashed up a three year old with pipes and then tide him to the tracks.

Well parents are retarded! We all figured that out long, long ago.

And gunslinger, what the HELL did your last post mean? And if you didn't want to be a part of "this crowd", then why did you even bother to post here at all?

When hasn't it been violent?

Whether it be mentally, physically, to others or to yourself.

I think the only time the world is in it's perfection of NO sufferent, NO povery, etc. is when the species dies out and a new one erupts.

Personally. Kind of like the Jaidism's cycle of life.

People were violent, they are violent and they will be more violent.
In my country I see this kind of stuff every single day; a week ago, a woman was raped, drowned and finally cut into little pieces that the bastards left around the city.
It's sick, people kill for no reason at all, they could kill someone because they have a better job or a bigger house.

Video games don't cause violence. Listen people, just because I personally like playing on grand theft auto and slashing people to bits before stealing their cars and running rampant trough the city, doesnt mean i'm not a harmless pacifistic girl at heart.

...And if blood can pick up prostitutes, kill them, and then go on about her business (sans doin' time), then more power to her.
