We need to ask him for his sources.

2018-02-28 12:13:22 UTC  

Because so far, all studies found absolutely no correlation between violence in entertainment and violent behavior.

2018-02-28 12:13:33 UTC  

Do the fifth graders anywhere else shout 'dirty jew' at each other or is that a German phenomena?

Nah it's the more vanilla "I fucked your Mom"

Also if you think of oldskool platformers on the NES / Megadrive etc

it's about puzzles and movement and timing

CoD is mapcontrol, self preservation and killing

throw in things like ranking up and voicechat

and there is a case for video games being a factor

and down to kids don't get into 18+ films

but shitty Mom and Dad will buy CoD for an 8 year old kid

`Honestly I've found it kind of fun watching people go into bat for video games after Trump's comments

Because so many of them have used graphs that show the continual decline of gun violence

Yet many of these people are the same ones who kick and scream for more gun control

Way to fuck yourselves, fellas`

Also I'd argue that Doom was a puzzle game. More violent but a puzzle.

When the door opens and you see 100 demons and wonder how the fuck can I beat all THAT LOT. It's a puzzle

2018-02-28 12:51:29 UTC  

tbh here in Germany

2018-02-28 12:51:32 UTC  

A kid just buys something

2018-02-28 12:51:39 UTC  

and the parents give zero fucks for what it is

2018-02-28 12:52:01 UTC  

Which sometimes ends in them collecting beyblades

2018-02-28 12:52:12 UTC  

and other times 5th graders play around with lighters and knives in class

2018-02-28 12:52:20 UTC  

cause it's 'kool'

2018-02-28 12:52:30 UTC  

To be fair, it's only violent if it has swastikas.

2018-02-28 12:52:47 UTC  

And Germany took care of them.

2018-02-28 12:52:58 UTC  

DKO is on the money

2018-02-28 12:53:26 UTC  

We don't just censor the swastika that's the best part

2018-02-28 12:53:43 UTC  

we censor everything that can be remotely confused with a swastika

2018-02-28 12:53:46 UTC  

other symbols

2018-02-28 12:53:53 UTC  

faces of nazi personalities

2018-02-28 12:54:33 UTC  

and even WW1 symbols that were simply reused for propaganda purposes at the time

2018-02-28 12:54:34 UTC  

and herrrrrrrrre weeeeeee

2018-02-28 12:54:34 UTC  

go

2018-02-28 12:55:29 UTC  

From a european standpoint both sides look ridiculous

2018-02-28 12:55:40 UTC  

the gun control people have no idea what they're arguing for or why

2018-02-28 12:56:04 UTC  

and the pro-gunners go **"WHAT IF WE SUDDENLY LIVE IN ORWELLS NIGHTMARE AND HAVE TO DEFEND US FROM THE STATE"**

God guns so BORING

2018-02-28 13:03:24 UTC  

They also want to be able to defend themselves from criminals.

Just go and try and take the guns

2018-02-28 13:04:34 UTC  

At least in Germany it's better than in Canada, regarding self defense.

2018-02-28 13:06:06 UTC  

According to Joerg Sprave, you can use the least amount if force to end the threat. If it happens to be a gun, that's fine.

2018-02-28 13:07:15 UTC  

So if someone enters your home, you can point a gun at the intruder. If the threat doesn't end, you can shoot to kill.
