Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

Cut the crap and get on with it.

Today I would like to argue why we should ban violent video games.

Really? I thought you were going to argue something else.

Your argument basically says that the government should ban the sale of violent video games. First they have no authority to do that. If people don't like kids playing these games, then it is the parents job to raise their children, not the government's.

Secondly, if violent video games were to be banned, it would mean another black market, which would mean increased crime, increased prison populations and more money that taxpayers have to spend.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

Good morrow sir.

Today I would like to argue why we should ban violent video games.

Amazing. Truly.

Children at this age are growing mentally and are constantly being influenced by their environment and the world around them, and what is astounding is how video games influence one's mind.

The environment many we live in is one pervaded by wars, poverty, crime and intolerance. These are self-perpetuating problems and have existed since before video games. I would argue that:

a) These problems have a greater effect on children than video games.

b) These problems cannot, considering their history, be caused by video games.

c) These problems are mainly propagated by adults who do not have a long history of playing video games.

and what is astounding is how video games influence one's mind.

Videlicet...?

Science and the current situation shows how people who play violent games have increased violent tendencies.

Actually, scientific analysis has never shown a correlation. As aforesaid, the "current situation" cannot have been caused by video games.

There have been some cases in which violent and gory murders have been committed after the influence of violent games.

That is complete fabrication.

And now, we are exposing these people to the influence of violence, including thousands of children.

People have always had violent tendencies. Indeed, we live in a time of relative communal peace. When was the last time a rival tribe burned down your village and stole your women?

How can we allow the future of our good country to be jeopardized by allowing our children to be exposed to violence and to grow up with violent tendencies.

As once more aforesaid, video games have never been proved to instill violent tendencies in children. I should know; I play them all the time and have never killed, raped, stabbed or in any other way inflicted severe physical or mental harm on somebody.

That is why I believe that we must ban violent video games

The above points were your opinion? I should never have guessed.

Do you think there are more violent and gory murders per capita now or at other times in history? Nowhere even close to the violent times in the past.

yes because playing violent video games could lead to people or kids going out and doing the stuff

Please provide some evidence to substantiate this claim.

Also, if they do that then they would take the lives of many people and maybe themselves.

Serial killers have existed for far longer than video games.

Video games make the kids struck with one thing and it induce negativity, violent in their minds

Crime is not caused by video games. Almost all violence and crime is the result of

a) Social inequality and poverty.

b)Government action (i.e war).

Both of these matters fall within the jurisdiction of the government to which you look for aid in the banning of video games. It can therefore be extrapolated that the vast majority of human suffering, violence and deprivation stems from the actions or inaction of governments and their corporate benefactors.

Your argument posits that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was directly responsible for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It posits that organised crime is the result of GTA IV. In reality, the wars were sparked by government and corporate interests, whereas organised crime was in America was the product of Government enforced prohibition.

violent video games aren't for children, as responsible citizens you should stop buying them for children...
