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.
Yes I do think that violent videos can be scapegoated in this matter. People tend to imitate the popular movie fantasies. Copying looks, perceived mannerisms, cool attitudes, dirty looks, vocal expressions. Life imitates art as the saying goes. I think people move into the mentalities being acted and try to live out their fantasies for lack of solid life dreams and ambitions. They have jobs, food, clothes, cars and only dream of wanting more things and the video fantasies give them an unreal grip on "doing something active."
