Slashdot Mirror


What Came First, the Violence or the Videogame?

An anonymous reader writes "Another wave of video-game-violence panic is upon us. The pressed suits who read the pop news on television are wagging their so-called neutral fingers at an industry they have never understood. Planet Xbox 360 considers the many games they have played and the real-life murderers they have known in their own lives, and how little the talking heads know about either."

    Slashdot quality at an all-time low. Record numbers of non-stories posted. Tagging system continues to be abused by 14 year olds. Comments from hippies and antisocial nerds pour in at unprecedented rates. People who reject society still wonder why society rejects them.

    Please mod off-topic.

    Grossman is a lunatic. I mean, he's seriously out there. If anything he said was true, our cities wouldn't be standing at the moment. I mean, serious hell on earth type violence would be prevalent in everyone's life.
