    Apognophos in just about every instance of violent crime / slaughter in schools and Colleges there was an

    apparent connection to these individuals and their involvement with violent (shooting) video games.

    Sandy Hook Elementary shooting as another example.

    These subjective slaughterers were most likely instigated by individuals who saw those school peers as their own

    personal enemies or opposing characters in video games, where they could by shot down randomly, making themselves

    the assuming and winning victorys, similar in experience from games they played at home.

    .

    This certainly isn't a wide spread occurrence to be noted but nevertheless people's psychology development is never the

    same from one to another.

    .

    Like I said before people who play these games have little empathy toward the general

    population from their own perspective, why ? because most of them are adolescents themselves.

    Here's the problem with that logic, Fink. Not everyone who plays violent video games turns in to a callous mass-killer. Most people can dinguish fantasy from reality just fine. There has to be other factors.

    Well it was mentioned at the last CA as a no no. (along with paintball, and by extension lasertag. There are no loopholes) More than the violence, the brother giving the talk brought out how there was (gasp) nudity i the game. Typical of JWs and of Americans in general to be thrown into a tizzy by nudity, but much more tolerant of graphic violence.

    I would say stealing cars is illegal. So playing a game about stealing cars is morally unacceptable too. IMO I don't think these games are harmless, so as a JW it was wrong, but as an xJW I am not impressed. Maybe I need to deprogram some more.

    of course it is wrong by JW standards... It has murder, prostitution, theft, mass killing, fraud, adultery, family disfunction, war..... Its not like it is based on the bible... WAIT A MINUTE!

    Fink. Not everyone who plays violent video games turns into a callous mass-killer.

    I know jgnat, I'm just posturing the connection, most people who play these games are not intellectually mature adults

    which creates their possible danger to whom these games are played by.

    Some people say there is no psychological connection influencing their social behavior,

    I'm saying there is to a minority few.

    Separate JWism (religion) out of this, we are taking about human psychology and the

    sensitive psychological make up of young impressionable teenagers.

    Fink..... Dude, most of my generation play these games, the minority dont. I am 33, a mature student in education. By the time my disc arrived most of my colleagues had completed it.

    Did watching spaghetti westerns destroy your generation?.... Come on !
