Is it strange how no one ever killed anyone until video games were created?
LOL! Whatever, I really hope most of us are right & your being sarcastic,
Really though, people have been killing others for Thousands of years,
it is sad to think of nowadays the way things are, but a lot of people probably think about your question only knowing of a more modern society structure & think 100-200 yrs. ago or so
as being "a long time ago" & being in the industrial & technological revolution as being some sort of magical turning point of a more civilized & sophisticated yet a more violent society & should be less, I guess it should be.
Actually there are a lot of sick people that still have sort of animal instincts or sadistic tendencies they did hundreds or even thousands of years ago, well before guns, video games, modern technology or media, now we do have all of these things that has evolved & learned quite a bit, but those are all just sorts of tools not the source of the problems, we also have adopted a bit more complexity & a huge population on earth & laws restricting many more things than we used to that go along with all our advancements, but it seems we are now in a state of constant stimulation of the senses & the added responsibilities & depression/or fears that go along with it. Quite a bit of brain-washing & confusion in all directions to put it simply.
Evil may & probably will always exist as it has for a long time although it may shift forms a bit, the earth & people & all living things weren't just created magically a few thousand years ago & that time frame isn't "forever" or "since the beginning of time". We as humans have not changed or evolved That Much, or as much as most people think & defiantly Not as much as we can or should. People have been killing in the name of religion/power for thousands of years, although it's a lot less frequent or well known these days by the self-absorbed or narrow-minded masses, it is much more political & structured now to look more "civilized" & lawful, most people can't or don't care or want to wipe there eyes open,even they're 3rd if they could find it.
Think about it, learn more spiritualism, religion & history & compare it to the present & ask yourselves -Why? Share it with others.
All we can do to better our society or humankind as a whole is try & teach each others, everyone you can to pass along & share our gifts of Peace, Love, intelligence & compassion, a better understanding & knowledge of our crafts,gifts & learn as much as possible of Why things are the way they are & were, how to make things better & keep Honing a better Everything for the future of our species of our fellow & future humankind.

Good one. They blamed TV. And before that people worked so hard there was not as much wanton murder. That is a fact. Overpopulation and to much free time has caused a lot of the modern BS. Before that it was war and oppressors not so much the average Joe.

Yes,because even back in the thirtys when the mobsters were doing the killing they still had nintendo game systems at home

I blame the bible.
There isn't one confirmed murder from video games, or the pen and pencil games that were blamed before PCs.
In contrast there are thousands of murders (I'll omit wars) which can be blamed directly on the bible and other holy books in the last few decades.

sarcasm I see. but a scientific study showed that kids who played FPS (first person shooters) are actually LESS likely to commit violent crimes, since they have that as a release. I can get you the article if you want, just Email me.
