that was 1987, when it all went bad. Killing for treasure as it were. Dont forget Mario, he got points for killing, even though it had no bearing on his mission... first person shooters are evil in your mind, know what a 3rd person shooter is? didnt think so...

Ammonium nitrate is a very useful substance that has benefitted mankind in many ways since we figured out how to make it." assault" rifles and handguns are useful tools that have benifitted mankind in many ways other than just killing people . Just exactly how has first person shooter video games benefitted mankind ? Lots of stuff without benefit to mankind out there. Once you start down the path of banning stuff that you see no benefit from... It doesn't take long for it to come back on you. Some extremists even argue that fur is of no benefit to man anymore.

Hardly a cheap shot. Friday nights are are for laughing, loving, and being merry.
Mondays are for fixing the world's problems and showing intellectual superiority on social media.

Comparing first person to third person is apples to oranges . There's a huge difference between the realism of Kong to modern call of duty or some other first person shooter game . the difference between first and third is all about POV and realism . I don't Know what the answer is . For Christ sake we have hundreds of kids eating Tide pods because they seen it on you tube . these same kids are spending hours practicing shooting each other with their little headsets on talking to each other about killing each other . can no one see the potential for disaster here .

review your first 2 replies, then get back with me. I know for a fact, (with proof) video games caused nothing. But who am i? Facts are what they are. Aint played a video game in 18 years, but i remember the rhetoric back then, it was as unfounded then, as it is today. Were you alive, or, cognitive in 1992? Butt hurt over call of duty? My what you missed, years ago. I gotta work today, i work alot, but im sure that makes me distrustworthy too, in your mind. LMAO, both at superiority, and social media... This is trapperman bub, no media, and barely social. I disagree, and I HAVE THE COMPLEX? Sheesh

it was sub-zero by the way...the character who ripped an opponents head off, spinal cord still attached.

As I was transporting my grandson home the other night, I informed him that he was no longer allowed to play PS4 shoot em kill em dead video games in my house or in my presence. He's 11 and he will learn gun control under my supervision this summer. Gotta start somewhere. if he learns gun control and respect, he can play shoot em kill em dead video games till he's blue in the face. The games have absolutely nothing to due with it...just like the guns have nothing to do with it. Passing the blame yet again. Quite the difference...but those who grew up with them Absolutely cannot understand that.

My teenage boys play war video games where they shoot german soldiers. I played video games-remember one where you shot people with a crossbow, it was a blast. We are all intelligent enough to know that a game is not real life. Give a boy a stick and it becomes a gun... and that's not a problem if they are taught to defend the weak and helpless instead of killing them. The problem is lack of parenting, not games or guns.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Hillbilly you have missed the entire point. It is about responsibility and respect. If your kids plays videos, you are responsible to tell them ,yes it is fun but it is not reality you can't do that in real life or yes we can play cops and robbers and you shoot the bad guy BUT IT IS NOT REAL LIFE. You need to learn respect and pass it on. No one respects anyone anymore. Your posts are a sign of that. I have an opinion and you are doing everything in your power to disrespect that opinion.You disagree of course and chose to only blame mental illness, not offering an alternative solution. Possibly moderating intake could change a mental conception of the facts.No censorship necessary just guidance.

So Don your stance is that responsible parents are able to judge what is acceptable entertainment for their kids... perhaps even on a kid-by-kid basis?

You guys ever hear of the term brain washing. Video games meets the criteria I played Mario Bros. a few times... I don't go into a foaming rage over mushrooms or plumbing. Do I think video games in general are an overall waste of time? I guess so. Some people waste lots of time playing them. I personally didn't spend much time playing them, and I still don't. Better ways to spend my time and money. Are video games a contributing factor in mass shootings? Seems a stretch. Is there a possibility they could be a contributing factor? Guess that depends on who you ask... I think if they are a contributing factor its at the bottom of a list of far greater factors... If one kid reacts to a video game by shooting up a school and 49,999,999 kids don't what do you plan to do? If one person uses an AR to shoot up a school and 49,999,999 don't, what do you plan to do?
