But if you still are not convinced, think about this. Throughout human history we have killed each other. With clubs, with arrows, with swords, with knives, with cannons, with guns, and with many other horrible instruments of destruction. We have killed each other since before the invention of video games, since before TV, since before movies, since before radio, since before books, since before music, reading and writing. In fact we have been killing all sorts of things since before the birth of civilization.
Video games can be useful as a modern and safe way to 'hunt'.
We can instinctively hunt, it is part of our nature. Removing one outlet will simply mean people flock to others, and then others, until all outlets for our natural aggression are removed and we simply kill each other. Maybe it is time we examine society instead of the media as causes of violence. Anywho, it is a tragedy that 3 girls were killed by an apparent maniac. Oh, what's the use.
