QUOTE(EmeraldKnight @ Jul 9 2004, 11:32 PM) Meh.. freak accidents? Freak accidents are probably not wearing a seat-belt and you crash, you fly out, and your flys into the side of the stop-sign. Or maybe...Someone gets pushed off a building and lands 2 blocks away? Just the word "freak accident" horrifies me. |

it is just a game, and people only do things because they want to. people who hate to run, wouldnt just go for a run because they saw it on a commercial. people only commit violent acts because it is in their nature and they want to. video games may implant an idea but they do not force people to go along with it if they do not want to. again i will say that people only do what is in their best intrests [usually] and they only do it because they want to. you would not just go out and kill someone just because you saw it on tv. you would have to want ot kill.

Basically, a kid should know not to shoot people in real life. If a parent doesnt teach a kid that, well..then they really shouldnt be a parent.

Well.. there are bad parents out there.. you can't exactly help that QUOTE it is just a game, and people only do things because they want to. people who hate to run, wouldnt just go for a run because they saw it on a commercial. people only commit violent acts because it is in their nature and they want to. video games may implant an idea but they do not force people to go along with it if they do not want to. again i will say that people only do what is in their best intrests [usually] and they only do it because they want to. you would not just go out and kill someone just because you saw it on tv. you would have to want ot kill. They do it because they want to, but after being influenced by other things; they dont FORCE them to.. but the influence is there And you might not intentionally kill.. a little kid might be playing with a gun simply because they did it in a video game and could end up killing someone.. |
