Hahahahahahahahaha!

So if I play Sega Rally, then Doom, then Mortal Kombat, then GTA what would happen then!

Heaven forbid I play Leisure Suit Larry again...

Seriously though, they can blame everything on a game. According to the polls years ago we should have hordes of mass murdering teens roaming the country since they happened to play Doom or Half Life as a child. C'mon how these "researchers" can publish this is beyond belief.

The researchers then studied 68 men and found those who played even one racing game took more risks afterward in traffic situations on a computer simulator than those who played another type of game.
What point does that have? it's just going from one game to another.

I have played flight simulators before, do you think that makes me more likely to fly a plane into a building.

So when someone gets caught driving recklessly, can they then say "the games made me do it"? It's worked in all sorts of cases before i'd imagine. look at how games like Carmaggedon and Hitman have been blocked from coming into the country. It's high time people learn to be responsible for their actions and bloody well be held accountable when they fuck up. If things keep going the way they are going these PTA bandits will soon have us wrapped up in cotton fucken wool

next thing you know, they'll be blaming world Terrorism on the game 'Counter-Strike'

"yeah I bombed that building cause I learnt to do it while playing counter-strike."


What a pile of shit, regardless of what violent games or racing games are out there, we are all 100% responsible for our own actions, the means to blame a medium such as a computer game is just convinience and an excuse for bad behaviour.
