Simple statistics will give you the answer. Since 1990 the number of "violent" video games has skyrocketed, the number of gamers has skyrocketed even higher, the per capita of gamers has gone sky high too. So lets put the theory of video games causing violence to the test, with these video game numbers going up at such insanely high rates, the violent crime rate should have gone up since 1990, right? Well overall it's gone down by over %50. A %50 drop since video games exploded in popularity! <br> I don't think video games and violence have anything to do with one another. But if I did want to connect them then I could easily make the argument that violent video games decrease violence and have the numbers to back it up (unlike any moron pushing this theory does).<br> These numbers are the end of the line for this nonsense theory of video games causing violence, there's no way to reasonably and logically look at these statistics and still be able to push this theory. That's it, it's over.<br> Also why don't we look at what these nut case mass sh**ters say is the reason they do it? The overwhelming one is media attention. And there you have it, why the media constantly pushes this idiotic theory, they are trying to point the finger of blame at anything but where it belongs, at themselves.
