People chose to go out and riot because they wanted to. They aren't some brainwashed morons incapable of independent thought that were coerced into doing it by Halo. It's just moronic and anyone who honestly believes games or films carry any influence is a simplistic fool. |

Why do we care what Noel Gallagher says?
How pointless, he has no facts |

That's Life

I agree with Dezzy on this. I've been playing GTA since I was about 10 and have never felt the need to recreate what I do on there in real life.

I agree with the OP. Most people - however young they may be - know the difference between fantasy and reality.

What A Liiife
|
I have noticed that some people who play COD almost 24/7 have a bit of an obsession with all these random guns etc, I had someone in my class last year sitting beside me who used to just sit and draw people getting stabbed/shot in the back of his jotter all the time, which I found a bit creepy. He wasn't just some daft 10 year old either, he's 17 like me and I know he lives on his Xbox.

Stuff like that affect a very tiny % of people. But it's that tiny % that ruin lives.

The so-called riots (that affected a tiny part of the UK and a tiny percentage of people) were about theft not violence.

Ironically, we were supposed to sympathise with the looters because they had nothing, and now we're supposed to think they all spend too much time on their X boxes - has Noel Gallagher nothing intelligent to say

The whole idea of blaming a game for someone's actions is just a way of dodging the issues at hand. |

What a stupid argument from Noel. Football has incited far more violence than video games ever will. Same goes for music. Point being you can't wrap culture in bubble wrap to protect a small minority of idiots from being a small minority of idiots. We'd go extra super crazy without entertaining distractions. I know I'd brain someone if I didn't have telly.
