Violence has been happening since the beginning of human time, and they didn't have games

1999 wants its scapegoat back, is Trump going to blame Marilyn Manson next?

[デュエル]

Is that so, because the friends i made playing Call of Duty *helped me through some of my darkest and most depressing times and ive never felt like shooting anyone.*

All Politicians are *corrupt.*

[BadTwin]

They blame video games...
before that, they blamed movies...
Before that, they blamed music...
Before THAT, they blamed comic books...
BEFORE THAT, they blamed Dungeons and Dragons.

Easy to attack the artist with a pen rather someone with a loaded gun.

Japan is the home of video games and there are no crime caused by video games in there to my knowledge

[comedyincarnate]

Terrorists:do something bad
Kids:play video games
Politicians :Coincidence? I THINK NOT

[DukeOfJam]

Did....did he just say we need a movie and game rating system? Do you mean like the MPAA and ESRB? Those things that already exist.

We're back to the 90s, everyone.

[notkaywhy]

Trump is literally the political version of EA.

[cam.rrrron]

Not this shit again, how many times do we have to argue this especially when this point has been disproven multiple times...

[Will]

Mario kart really makes me want to *throw my babnana*

[gregfriedler]

Do they not have music, movies and video games in other countries?

[michelleparker]

The only intervention there should be in games is stopping the ridiculous micro-transactions.

[candicegraham]

Because video games don't exist outside of the US...

I grew up playing GTA and i never killed anyone, never robbed a car. Played Madden but I'm not in the NFL. Watch violent moves, served in the military and have been in 0 fights. Its stupid people doing stupid things. Dont punish everyone for the actions of stupid people.
