Lately the media, especially the liberal media has been scapegoating video games as a possible factor in the Connecticut shooting. Do you believe that violence in video games and movies are an issue and they can cause things like the tragedy we have seen recently. If you do believe they are an issue what do you think should be done? I personally believe that video games/movies cannot cause violence and blaming them is just a stupid reaction to a horrible tragedy. Video games and movies should not be censored or have enforced ratings like minors can't buy M rated video games. Please explain your opinion.
Video games aren't to blame. Just like the metal band Judas Priest wasn't to blame for a teen's suicide.
People seem to have a real issue with trying to blame something - anything - other than the person who did something horrific.
It's incomprehensible to myself and I'm sure, lots of other people. Trouble is, there is more at play here than just a video game, metal music, violent movies... Sure, if a person was suffering some mental issue those sorts of things may be warped to that particular person... but these things are not to blame ultimately for the act of an individual.
