Video games don't make me a killer, they just let me kill people

So you're sitting in your car, trying to drive from one end to the next of the city in under an hour while avoiding the police and having immense fun on the way. I mean, honestly, nothing's more fun than driving on the sidewalk at break neck speeds and ramming people down. Lots of people. Or doing a drive by in the more expensive parts of the city. It's brilliant. Immensely brilliant. What am I talking about? GTA4.

GTA4 has to be one of the best games ever made. Playing it on the ps3 has been a prolonged multiple orgasm. The attention to detail is astounding whether it's the physics involved in flying bodies, the blood spatter dynamics, the graphics of the city and the different neighbourhoods with different types of people. And I love nothing better than ramming down the very rich or the very poor. The very poor are more fun because they get all ghetto angry at you whereas the very rich are fun because they're all sniveling cowards. In the game. It's brilliant. Plus you don't even have to buy a car, just throw the guy who's in the car while you drive it. Brilliant!

But enough about that, I still don't believe that video games make you violent. I'm sure anyone with half a brain can decipher what's reality and what isn't. Anyone should be able to understand that actions have consequences and it's the parent's responsibility to instill that learning onto their children. Even so though, in the past there were public executions, peoples' heads being put on pikes and left for days. Saying that we've become more barbaric since then seems a little, odd.

I think it's stupid to think that we've been living in a relatively docile world. There's been wars going on in at least one part of the world since... ages. (lazy). We don't really live in a safe world, the reality is that bad things happen everyday with or without video games that are thought to cause violence. I mean, I live in a place where there's relatively strict gun control and where, some gun shootings do occur, but they occur a lot more in places with less gun control. I think that there's a lot more factors to consider besides pointing the blame at video games.
