well look what the UK's government decided to blame the riots on - squiggley1 - 08-18-2011
Okay so as most if not all of you know there are riots going on in the UK, It's obvious they were due to a bunch of stupid political mishaps but look what the media decided the problem was http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/265108/Jo-Frost-I-can-fix-the-teen-rioters Bull, that's all I have to say.
When will the media realize it's not a smart idea to blame it on video games?

As I myself am too frustrated to respond in any intelligent manner, I will just quote what someone said in the comments, and very much reflect my opinions.
"Looking at the article, I didn't see any sources for this 'research'. Along with that, she doesn't name any particular games, and the way she describes them as 'where points are given for burning, shooting and killing' tells us she is woefully ignorant of what modern games are like. It's another piece that compiles all the negative stereotypes about video games into a scare piece to frighten parents. Just as parents screen what movies, television, music and books their children consume, they must also do the same for video games. Learn about the rating systems. PEGI in the UK, and ESRB for the US. These ratings are there for a reason. Many retailers also refuse to sell games with a certain rating to children under a certain age. I urge everybody to read between the lines on this one."

All the fuzz about that MW2 were supposedly a training simulator for Anders Breivik (the Oslo shooter for those who have been living under a rock), and now this?
Gee, why do people always draw lines between real-life violence and fantasy violence?
People have been killing each other since the dawn of men!
And people were rioting before the first computer were even invented!
