Things like this make me want to make my own mutant gestapo ala Wolfenstein and rampage across the country leaving a gigantic wake of destruction in my path, plus maybe some mutant slime.

shit like that always pisses me off... Video games don't fuck me up. If someone's gonna go out and shoot someone, it's not because they want to emulate Duke Nukem, it's because they want to shoot someone! Listening to Marilyn Manson (not exactly on the topic, but close) will not make me want to burn all Christians and praise satan, they'll do it if they want! However, in today's society where children do what they do because people on tv tell them to, it's a little hard to fight this.

If you ask me, the government should produce an insanely violent video game/rock star/tv show/series of movies that way all the idiots go out and stab each other with gerbel skeletons until they all die, so the people with an inteligence greater then a monkey in a ugly java applet that is shocked "for money" won't have to deal with the dumb asses any more... and if they can catch a few people in the act before they actually kill/get killed, they should put a fake VR helmet on their head, send them to Iraq, and tell them they're on a mission to kill a over powering government figure that won't let "Rebel forces" into their "food storage units" so they can make sure they're all getting food... or something...

before there was a marilyn manson, there was alice cooper. and before that, there was someone else. and before that, there was someone else. ozzy osbourne, aerosmith, kmfdm. since the beginning of time, people have looked for convenient scapegoats to blame for the things that would take too much effort for the real responsible parties to own up to.

this week, it's video games and marilyn manson. next week, next year, next month, there will be a new scapegoat.

heh. blame canada. read the lyrics sometime, it's actually an impressive commentary on the desire to find a blame-monkey somewhere.

*clears throat*

Time's have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Should we blame the government?
Or blame society?
Or should we blame the images on TV?

Heck NO, blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
We need to form a full assault
It's Canada's fault!

Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon
And now he's off to join the clan!

And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to fuck myself!
Well, blame Canada
Blame Canada
It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Blame Canada
Blame Canada
There not even a real country anyway

My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer it's true
Instead he burned up like a piggy on a bar-b-q
Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Heck no!

Blame Canada
Blame Canada
With all their hockey hubabaloo
And that bitch Anne Murray too
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
The smut we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun
must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before someone thinks of blaming us

thank you, thank you.

kuru, you could trace that back even to the turn of the century when people believed ragtime would corrupt the morals of the young people.

And the lyrics to Blame Canada were posted in one of the other threads bitching about what the government has to say on videogame violence.

PersonGuy, hook us up with a link to all of those? I'm too tired right now to look.

We've got the lyrics as mentioned before and talk of blaming Canada and Vulu.

As far as video game violence... I think humans are INATELY violent. It's in our biology. However, I do buy into video games making people "more effective killers." Meaning: if I had never played a first-person-shooter, going on a rampage would be harder for me. I noticed this at West World in Disney World where I can now EASILY blast everything without even sighting it! I just aim from my hip! I've just become in general more familure with guns. But again, even if violent VGs didn't exist, stupid people could get the info and practice elsewhere... just not as quickly or as cheap.

My point: I agree with the ratings system, and I think parents should take much more heed of it. Some children with be fine with some games, while some moron kids will just imitate their heros to death.
