It’s called irony or is it sarcasm

Let’s face it. Rubber balls don’t kill people, people kill people. I thought this site was a farce until I continued reading and found out how serious you bunch of paranoid lunatics really are.

As the good JC puts it,

‘Any pile of stunted growth unaware that entertainment is just that, and nothing more, desearves to doom themselves to some dank cell, somewhere, for having been so stupid!!! Movies, books, T.V., music – they’re all just entertainment, not guidebooks for damning yourself!’

Murder isn’t commited by games. It’s commited by people. Why say it’s the games?
Because people want a reason for homicide.
No duh.

You know, one of the first essays I ever had to write as a kid was about violence in video games and how it effected the ‘real world’. I caused a bit of an uproar in my year nine computing class by arguing that they didn’t promote violence. I’ve seen more fights over competitive sport than I have seen computer game related violence.

Hmm..rubber balls? Well, I have to say, parents should take responsibility for their children, if they don’t want their children to view these games then don’t have them in the house. For me and mine…the bloodier the better , There was an article some time back from the state of Iowa where a child set fire to a trailer he was in, the child was extremely young and the mom blamed Bevis and Butthead cartoon. Where was the mom while the trailer was being torched? Down the street visiting a friend for several hours..why would anyone in their right mind leave a little child unattended like that in the first place? Mine would simply build a new wing on to our house…lol..I see video games as an outlet for my bad days and simply fun. So many children are hurting inside because of bullys at school..should we ban those? Nooo because they have disorders and their behavior can’t be helped..puhleeeze..it’s not video games or movies or things of this nature, it’s parenting and society as a whole. We just like to place blame where it should not be placed. I remember my mom telling me how kids used to take pocket knives to school to whittle on the play ground and carried sling shots to school, the best thing was for the father and son to go hunting together, kids did not go around shooting each other because they knew better, now, you can’t even raise your voice to a child without CPS breathing down your neck..yup..govt abuse. But I think rubber balls should be banned, and big red clown noses too…they might scare the children into night terrors you know…;) and they do magic…a definite sin…rolls eyes..just my 10 cents.

Not quite rubber balls, but a retired Dr friend of mine told me of an experiment involving two groups of kids, one got a red ‘lanyard’ the other a yellow. Appareantly when they ‘played’ the kids with the red lanyard were more ‘agressive’.

If you take this a step further and swap the lanyards around you’d find the original holders of the red lanyard to be even more agressive becasue they want ‘their’ red one back.

Read into that what you will in relation to rubber balls!

I was readying an artical on this subject (video games, not bouncy balls) in a maganzine a while ago, and actually, people have started doing studies on linking violence in the real world to playing violent video games. The result was very indicative of there being no significant link between the two, but they still need to do more tests.
