    That comparison has been going on since Pong was invented.  I don't think
much will come out of this comparison.

I think its pretty hard to go after game makers when there are gun
manufacturers.

Personally, I believe that computer games and *** movies CAN cause
***in people - however, I also believe that for somebody to act
upon those *** tendancy's they must also have some phsycological
problems before hand.

How dare they make such an accusation. I wish I had my Plasma gun so I could
turn them into a pile of glowing embers!

Really....the same people blamed plastic soldiers for the *** in the 70's.
And as for Dungeons and Dragons...thats responsible for the fall of modern
civilisation!

That'd be a trick considering VIE didn't publish Unreal.

In my day (putting on the good old uncle Bob voice), we didn't play
games. Instead, we sat around and... and... Doh! I knew there was
computer games were invented!

Agreed, but computer games have an interactive element that movies and music
don't. They also allow people to practice the skills that make them more
effective killers.

I am not saying that computer games should be banned, or that they cause
this sort of thing. These people are screwed up to begin with. But I think
there is enough here to make me uncomfortable.

Excuse me? My shooting was, if anything, better at age 8 than I recall it
ever being since playing FPS's. I'm not a gun nut BTW, I just used to shoot
at the police range where I lived as my dad was a police sniper and I used
to enjoy going to practice with him. Since then I've shot .22 rifles a
bunch of times and sucked. Maybe I'm just not playing enough Half-Life,
Unreal, Quake or what have you.

First, this is rec.autos.sims - the only killing I do is running over
the 2-D marshalls, or suicide runs the wrong way round the circuit.
Or, of course, just wiping myself out in the armco. Has every drunk
driver been honing his/her skills in GPL?

Second, where can I purchase a gun that has a mouse interface, and a
remote-control active-suspension powered skateboard, controlled via
the same mouse, that allows me to slide sideways without any gun
shake.

Finally, I've noticed my local chemist/drug store/kusuriya doesn't
stock first aid kits capable of curing multiple gunshot wounds in a
second.

All these things conspire against my plans to visit my local school
and kill everyone in sight.

Eh? Why? If they don't cause anything, then what's the problem?

A serious opinion - I had the misfortune of watching "Natural Born
Killers" a couple of months ago and that genuinely made me uneasy, as
it portrayed a potential real-life situation. If you want to find a
scapegoat in the popular media, look at TV or movies, where real
actors do things in current-day settings, not at a bunch of lo-res
pixels running around a space station shooting mutants.
