According to CNN antisocial young men who play violent video games are in danger of becoming mass...?

murderers and should get help. Would you like to thank CNN for their outstanding analysis and conclusions? They never fail to get the facts out. Do you know anyone like this?

    I really don't believe violent video games contribute to someone going out and killing people. If the person already has a mental illness than it is the illness that caused them to go kill a person.

    You pose a good question. But I can't help but wonder if by playing these "violent video games" young man and woman that have a potential for violence aren't getting the violence out of their system by playing the "violent video games" and not hurting anyone. In closing, where did CNN get its information from, some liberal. Game creators are not stupid people so I'm sure they have done their own research to insure that they are no putting a dangerous product on the street.

    After giving up a life of crime and leaving the ghetto, CJ only returned because he wanted to be at his moms's funeral.

    At that particular moment, he became a crazy killer, getting jacked, murdering everybody who isn't wearing green and yanking people out of their cars, yelling, "Yo! I'm CJ!"

    He goes on to get all kinds of weapons and kill cops and just go totally berserk.

    Yet, from the very start, one of the first thing we learn about him is that he plays video games. It's one of the focal points of his home (also spray paint, a camera and a full wardrobe).

    CNN sounds like they're right on track.

    Great research work.

    I say we ban all video games to young men who are diagnosed as introverts.

    Of course, there will have to be mandatory intovert/extrovert testing in schools.

    Maybe retesting every year, since unexpected life events may or may not change a person's character.

    If you want to play FPS or GTA, make sure that you smile a lot and talk to everybody!!!

    Otherwise, you could become a MURDERER.

    One of the worst school massacres in American history was in the 1920's in Bath MI. A mad man filled the schoolhouse with explosives and killed twenty some odd children...yes, this was clearly before video games. Some people are just plain sick no matter what era

    Video games are far more popular in Japan. Violent ones, too. And have you seen their horror flicks? Saw is Child's Play in comparison (and yes, the pun there is intended).

    Yet, their young men don't normally go off and murder dozens of innocents with a gun... I wonder why...

    there is no coloration between video games and being violent people.

    Did Marilyn Manson play Grand Theft Auto 8 hours a day?

    CNN did not say that. A doctor guesting on a show did. Why don't you try working on the facts.
