"It has also led to calls for tighter rules on violent computer games"
I love how they just throw that line in there.....The media needs something to blame for this tragedy....can't they understand that some humans are fucked up??????

Can't people see that psychopaths play violent videogames, but no everyone who plays videogames is a psychopath?
Suppose an opera fan stabbed someone after seeing Julius Ceaser, would the government ban opera? No- because it has nothing to do with opera, simply that a fan of that artform used it as an inspiration for a killing that he would have done anyway.

yep that argument has been played and replayed -- but if they don't wanna hear it, then they'll just ignore it or attempt to belittle it or the people propositioning it

I hate opera, I think if a stabbing ever occurs, Julis Ceaser should be cited as an influence and all opera should be banned. That'd be well good.

there is probably a high correlation that psychopaths play violent video games... but violent videogames obviously doesn't cause someone to be a psychopath... people who are violent, would obviously enjoy a violent video game... I think most people loose sight of that... there is a big difference between correlation, and causation...

i kno. i've played many violent games and i'm a goody two shoes. blaming violence on media & games, come to think of it, is just about one of the dumbest things i've heard.
they need to consider lifestyle factors, backround, psychology, etc.........imo

It's like that band that were sued for having "do it" backwards in one of their songs being blamed for the suicude of a teenager. They should have considered the fact that anyone who listens to the same track 100+ times a week is a bit unhinged.
Anyone who likes slipknot is obviously mentally ill.
