Cops See Video Game Connection in Stolen Cars, Wild Driving

I kinda see the connection but at the same time i also see that this is blown out of porportion two.

As for Jack, you shouldn't call someone retarded. Makes you look more of a mentally challegned person, mayby your parents were retarted, or mayby you can't grow up like I can. In fact, piss off, your wasting my time here even being on here.

Take a look at the driving car accidents of the last 50 years, and the numbers...

People were driving at a faster speed back then than they did now,

they did not wear seat belts.

They even had dogs, cats and other pets sit in their laps while driving.

And now people are looking at blaming Videogames for today's car crashes?

I know that there is a hoon culture but it has been there for many years since the invertion of the cars. But to blame videogames for the skills of young P platers when the problems in society have been going on for many years before videogames is just plan reckless and does not solve any problems at all.

Since the police never specifically mentioned what game the kids all played... I'm going to assume that it's Beautiful Katamari.

Blame bumper cars. They teach you to hit other people, push the gas pedal to the floor, and you are in a car like environment.

These "kids" were 16 and 17.  They know right from wrong.  They know that they could die or kill someone.

Unless you're completely psychotic or flat-out retarded, you do not confuse the rules of a game with the rules of real life.

So, what is to blame for people who got into high speed chases and shot at police prior to the invention of the video game?

The same as it is now...the person who did the crime!

Because video games are the only the only types of games there are

I think my dad (and the rest of the world) should be thankful my real driving and GTA driving are completely seperate.

In GTA even if i'm trying my hardest to drive well, going slow, watching the lights for cross traffic and everthing, i still usually end up torching the car in about 5 minutes.

In real life i haven't had an accident yet.

Mr Thompson, you've spent the past couple of decades calling yourself a "moral crusader" or a "culture warrior." But there is NOTHING at all cultured about you celebrating every time a massacre occurs, and there is NOTHING at all moral about you glorifying the abuse and deaths of youngsters while lying through your anus-shaped mouth about a video game you've never seen in your wasted life being the direct cause of the world's ills. VIDEO GAMES DO N-O-T JUMP UP AND SHOOT PEOPLE DEAD, YOU CORPSE-RAPING IDIOT.

You falsely condemn make-believe violence while supporting and encouraging real violence. You take pride in doing a worse job at "protecting the children" than registered sex offenders. You are "living" proof that self-claimed moral crusaders are no better than terrorists, and entirely deserve to be treated as such. Now go back to your no-name blog - it seems to be the only place that is willing to overlook your criminal record of slander, deceit, fruad, intimidation, perjury and intent to cause physical harm.
