Study: Video Violence Great Risk to Public Health
Posted by Regeneration on November 28th, 2007, 09:11 PM

It seems like the debate on video game and TV violence and its effects has reached proportions we've only seen in the climate-change communities lately. Another distinguished professor, L. Rowell Huesmann, the Amos N. Tversky Collegiate Professor of Communication Studies and Psychology, has published a study, conducted at the University of Michigan, confirming the violence to violence link in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Contrary to findings recently published by Christopher John Ferguson of the Department of Behavioral, Applied Sciences and Criminal Justice at Texas A&M International University, Huesmann's study suggest that on-screen violence does have a strong correlation to violent behavior in adolescents and in adults. The study reviewed more than fifty years of research on the effects of media violence.

The only truth is that Politicians are using video games violence to promote themselves and for public relations. You can’t get votes by saying something like: “You are bad parents”, but they can get votes by saying something like: “Video games are bad, vote us and we will stop it!”.

The violence on TV is effecting more people then video games and nobody cares. You just wake up and turn on the TV at 8am, and you already see everything is related to violence and sex! On 8am in the morning. Great risk? What a ridiculous study! What next? Study: Spamming “Enemy Boat Spotted” in Battlefield may lead to nail cancer?

The only risk here is corrupted politicians who make things up to get votes to fill with their wallets with our tax money, make dirty deals with Hollywood and the RIAA to screw us up, and of course sexual harassing their young secretaries. This is the only "Great Risk" around here (and of course, WoW).

The most violent people I've seen are unlikely to have ever played a violent video game.

This is beyond stupidity. How can the so called "intellectual" (like our "dear" professor) claim that video violence actually has anything to do with real life adolescent violence?
Anyone who has the ability to differ between right and wrong will see a videogame/film as entertainment and leave it at that, how can it be that only America has this so called "problem"? why doesn't Japan (where most of the consoles where invented) have this problem? or Europe for that sake? If you're nuts ANYTHING can blow your fuse: to much pulp in your juice, untied shoelaces, a moldy loaf in your fridge, the list goes on for ever, how daft it might sound i bet he would get the same result from the factors ive mentioned above. Truth is that this is a populist research bough....err "funded" by christians and those alike, with no roots in reality what so ever.


To quote my father

"It could only happen in America"

No Bro,it's happening all around the world.

Look at that Finnish or Swedish teen who shot people at his school...


They said he was a Rammstein fan.... back in the Columbine time...

Politics and intellectuals have so many things to blame( vid games, music, movies )

before their own kind to draw away their responsabilities.


And... another question: I think that proliferation of movies that show explicit content

with males and females copulating is real bad... When I see that young girls of 14 know

more about dic*s than I do...well.... U got my point I guess. Ok

there are no bad movie...only bad parents. But..Don't you think than in that case there

is too much stuff available in our society?

(And just as a precision I'm completly satisfied with my private life )

honestly this is rediculous, their just trying to draw focus away from the violence their creating over sea's, they say music and games makes people violent meanwhile their over there bombing entire cities, wonder what kind of music they listen too.

I am a metal head, love the stuff, im also a very peaceful man, have great respect for others, im almost a budhist lol and i play violent games, i listen to death metal, heavy metal, prog metal, power metal, rock and i love it, you know what would make me go on a killiong spree? having to listen to that talantless pop, dance and rap garbage *shudders*

And actually they almost make their own violent game like "Armerica's Army" right?
