Video Games are a good thing

My dear opponent I want you to know that some video games teach kids the wrong values. Violent behavior, vengeance and aggression are rewarded. Negotiating and other non violent solutions are often not options. Women are often portrayed as weaker characters that are helpless or sexually provocative." I am sorry if this sounds rude but have you ever played a video game? I am going to take on your statement backwards starting with "Women are often portrayed as weaker characters that are helpless or sexually provocative." 1. Women are always made sexually provocative. Same as in reality. In fact I think most girls in real life are more provocative except they are not built like video game girls. Problem with this argument is that you are saying it is teaching girls to be provocative. Were that is the parents job to dictate. If one's child is walking around half naked instead of blaming video games maybe one should take some responsibility. 2. Women are portrayed as weaker and helpless. I am sorry and I am going to get attacked for this but it is a true statement. The hormones that grows facial hair is the same that grows muscle. Men are by nature stronger than woman. There is no argument that can defeat that unless the majority of women start growing facial hair more than the average male. Males are also on average any were between 40-100 pounds heavier than woman. I asked you if you play video games because in the last 10 years of gaming there is just as many B.A. women is games as men. Older games were focused on men so it wasn't trying to teach women are helpless it was just giving men a story they could relate to and get into. Just saying how many men would want to save a prince. Also just a side note how many men are taught to never hit a woman. Now how many women are taught to never hit a man? just saying 3.Many Many Many games don't have the technology to let you use non-violent options. That doesn't teach violence is a good thing though. In fact in many games like Fallout series where you do get the option to negotiate and not use violence your morals actually effect you quite a bit. In fallout New Vegas there was a land of crucifixions. I did everything in my power to save them and when I couldn't I almost broke down. It teaches morals if anything. Yet they still do not TEACH violence. If you are following ESRB rating then you wont buy a killing game for a kid under 17. Therefore parents are not taking responsibility. Lets say we are past that and the kids are playing killing games like I did. By saying it is teaching them violence then you would agree they are being taught violence over negotiate. In that case then why doesn't every kid in school fight instead of argue? Why are we not boxing right now? 4.Also vengeance and aggression are almost never rewarded. Anger is also kept under control because most video games require you to stay cool calm or collected because once you go crazy you get killed or something instantly. Sorry I couldn't find many sources on this one but here is one source. http://www.cracked.com... I think you guys should vote pro because I did prove instances were video games improved us. I also disproved or at least minimized almost all of my opponents arguments.
