politico disses violent games!! oh, and other stuff too!!

[Testin da Cable]

it's all bad innit :/ read more here. ananova reports on the badness of men, their black hearts and kids on killing sprees.

He's just being a silly billy. I enjoy killing in films and games but that hasn't desensitised me to real killing at all. I'm clever enough to tell the difference as are most people beyond 5 years old.

What's next ? Playing Ring'o'Roses desensitises kids to the horror of the plague

I dont think computer games are the problem, I think its things like http://www.ogrish.com/index.php?pictures

its not that either cos ive seen worse uke:

 

[ECA]

"I don't think a child is going to turn out to be a killer or more violent as a consequence of playing those games. But it's the acceptance of that heartlessness that is at the centre of all those kind of games, the kind of joy of shooting innocent bystanders or running them over in the car."

So basically he's not saying we're all going to be mass murdering thugs, what he is saying is that he's shocked that so large a segment of humanity takes joy from the acts of violence.

Human Nature = Shit.

And now for something we dont already know?

they also blamed violence on music :chortle:

 

[Testin da Cable]

sooooo....do a drive-by shooting at your local mc-d, playing um....manson on your car's hifi. be sure to have a few FPS games in the glove compartment and a copy of "the catcher in the rye" and "mein kampf" on the back seat. remember to have dyed your hair black and to blame your parents

From the BBC's superb* coverage of this story:

Games like Hooligans: Storms over Europe and Carmaggedon, which showed graphic scenes of fighting and dangerous driving, have provoked complaints in recent months.

Carmageddon? Recent months? Er... Houston to BBCi, come in please, we're just getting static from you...

Aside from that all this story tells me is that one of our government ministers is a fuckwit. Gosh I'm so shocked and surprised.






*may be irony.

 

[nath]

*but is infact sarcasm.

[Testin da Cable]

[amobea]

[Testin da Cable]

I don't know. In fact, I have no idea where the bloke we're going to visit lives heh. Once I get more info I'll tell you about it. Would be fun to meet and have a few beers n stuff

 

[amobea]

i'll quite enjoy getting drunk whilst giving you shit for being a brit

 

[Testin da Cable]

I'm not a brit you upside-down cunt

just phoned max, my mate, to find out where the heck the other guy lives. as bram, the other dude will be trying not to skive off uni too much while we're there [I expect] we'll be up to our own devices more or less. trying to drive each other mad and/or pretending that fosters tastes good and swapping sheep jokes

 

[.cage]

once again the jewish media is trying to control us.

 

[granny]

i·ro·ny The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

sar·casm A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.

I think I'll stick with irony as being closest to my original intention, thanks though

 

[RandomIce]

Video games dont cause violence, people who dont play video games cause violence because they cant outlet such feelings by playing video games. Thats my opinion anyway.

 

[old.milou]

Howells attacks violent video games
Sounds like an act of violence to me.

 

[nath]

Well ok.

But it was sarcasm, it wasn't ironic.
