The implications of violent video games are grossly underestimated. Homicides resulting from violent video games should be chronicled and accounted for within the FBI’s Unified Crime Reporting. So much idle time...so little introspection. Your thoughts? — Steven P Clum
If anything, violent video games might provide an outlet, an occupation of otherwise idle time. Take away violent video games and idle hands my find worse things to do in our shit world. — Nils Loc
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
Video games in America are the same as everywhere else. If their implications would be grossly underestimated, then there ought to be more shootings in other countries, which don't have the mass shootings, but do have the same video games.The implications of violent video games are grossly underestimated. — Steven P Clum

You know, violent video games exist worldwide, but curiously, the shootings in schools happen on a large scale in the USA. — javi2541997

Those numbers have exponentially increased in recent years as Biden has opened the borders to human trafficking, drugs and more guns. — Steven P Clum
I can only find studies on children, young children on violent video games. How and when they act out this gaming in actuality is something I'm not sure about. But you made a great point below:Consequently, you feel good...rewarded. Oh, and there are no REAL consequences to you getting virtually shot. No deterrence! Seems like a logical gateway to get multi-dimensional and include the body for some physical activity and, perhaps, increased stimulation and reward while perpetrating some actual carnage. — Steven P Clum
In the live sports of karate, with rules in place and guidance provided by the organizers, you are actually trained not just the actual physical contact but the rules surrounding the activity. There is something that serves as a safety gate.Whereas myself, (for example) who used to engage in full contact karate back before it was a thing, learned to avoid fighting outside of the ring because I knew first hand the ramifications of giving and receiving a can of whoop a_s. I was as much satiated and humbled from the matches that I lost as those that I won on account of I always reflected and learned from both experiences. Peace! — Steven P Clum
Most gun related crimes committed in this country use illegally acquired guns. As of 2010 more than 50,000 guns were smuggled into this country every year. — Steven P Clum
Ask a cop on the beat how criminals get guns and you're likely to hear this hard boiled response: "They steal them." But this street wisdom is wrong, according to one frustrated Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) agent who is tired of battling this popular misconception.An expert on crime gun patterns, ATF agent Jay Wachtel says that most guns used in crimes are not stolen out of private gun owners' homes and cars. "Stolen guns account for only about 10% to 15% of guns used in crimes," Wachtel said. Because when they want guns they want them immediately the wait is usually too long for a weapon to be stolen and find its way to a criminal.
Don't forget that his son is a crack-addict and a kid-toucher, and Joe Biden covers up for him. It is revealing of the family's ethics, and consequently of people who support that whole circus. — Lionino
Or perhaps it is more revealing of your susceptibility to sensationalistic ‘news’ reporting, the circus you’re supporting by repeating their garbage. — Joshs
Hunter Biden is inarguably a crack addict, though? — AmadeusD
Right, pictures of a guy smoking crack are sensationalistic news. — Lionino
comes across as a good dad that really loves his son, and his advanced age surely stops him from taking a strong stance about his son, a completely lost soul. — Lionino
No, impugning the ethics of a family you’ve never met — Joshs
you do redeem — Joshs
Arent you a little embarrassed babbling about a stranger’s crack problem? Why don’t you share the skeletons in your own closet with us? I’m sure we’d LOVE to hear about them. — Joshs
For one, the skeletons in my closet are not from kids I have touched — Lionino
The conservative radio host Wayne Root claimed without evidence in a tweet shared tens of thousands of times that Hunter Biden's laptop contains videos of him sexually abusing Chinese children.
