That's the whole point in the study. They weren't gamers. It was a representative sample of year group, some played games, some didn't.

So it's even LESS relevant to this topic than I already thought?
OK missy: sickular scientists are always on about populations being representative. And you just took a random sample? And call that "scientific".
HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm not saying it's scientific, nor have I ever said so.
But last time I checked, there's more evidence in a recent study then an old story book.
Can you give me 110 examples of someone playing a video game and then killing someone BECAUSE they played that game? No.
Can I give you 110 examples of perfectly balanced people regardless of whether they play violent games or not. Yes.
Lets face it, if you're capable of murder then you are born that way. It's not going to be caused by playing a videogame.

Are ALL video games evil? I just heard about ' Left Behind: Eternal Forces', and wondered if it was Godly? Perhaps is we had more Christian video 'games' we might have fewer school-shootings than we're seeing now? Certainly games like GTA, Manhunter, Doom and Super Columbine Massacre all influenced the virginia tech massacre, and several key others.

Violent Christian video game set to be Christmas bestseller
Quote:
A video game that depicts a crusade of violence by Christians could be heading for the bestseller charts this Christmas, even though it has been condemned by Muslims and secularists.
The game Left Behind: Eternal Forces is set in post-apocalyptic New York and features God's army battling the Antichrist.
Based on the bestselling Christian fantasy Left Behind series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, it puts players in command of brainwashed legions fighting the "good fight" for Christianity.
Gamers are ordered to convert or kill in order to re-model America as a Christian-controlled state, and establish its world vision of Christ's dominion over all aspects of life.
Gamers pit battles between the paramilitary Christian Tribulation Force and the grey, faceless Global Community forces of the Antichrist, said to be modelled on the United Nations.
If the Christians fail to convert others to their religion they must kill them in order to progress to the next level, dismissing any other form of religion.
The fantasy is an imagined scenario based on what might happen if the events depicted in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible and the ultimate in theological end games, were to take place today.
Critics accuse its creators of mixing religion and violence to appeal to teenagers hooked on violent games like Grand Theft Auto.
Aimed at 13-plus teenagers and originally sold in the US, where the storyline is based, UK outlets are now releasing the game in time for Christmas. It will capitalise on the success of the Left Behind books, which have sold more than 63 million copies worldwide.
Muslim religious groups have denounced the game as portraying their faith as evil and accused its creators of insulting their creed. Ironically, the conservative Christian lobby has often been most vociferous in its denunciations of on-screen violence.
A spokesperson for the Muslim Association of Britain called for the game to be banned, describing it as evil.
He said: "This game is irresponsible and highly racist. It demonises every other religion which isn't Christianity. People must boycott this violent game.
"It is a game that is prejudiced not just towards Muslims but every other religion which is not Christianity.

The comments from the mud-slimes made me laugh. Like theirs is a 'religion of peace'

I, for one, am planning on picketing a midnight release of this game, which is nothing more than a training program for murderers and carjackers.

I saw it.
And while you're at it, Rev, you might want to change Manhunter to Manhunt.

Oh good idea.
I, for one, am planning on picketing the LCB, which is nothing more than a recruitment program for racists and homophobes.

Yes, because holding a game console controler and pressing a few buttons is EXACTLY the same as teaching someone how to yield a weapon. Yes, that's right, i resulted to sarcasm.
