Thread: "Video Games Caused 9/11"

Luckily, not too many people take this guy seriously. Gee... a flight similator is dangerous? I'd rather have the pilot I'm flying with have a little extra training before they go up in the air, wouldn't you?

and they say conspiracy theorists are crazy....

They been making this arguement for years, and still no one believes them.

Imagine if the tide turned, and all video games had to promote real-life good will. We'd have such gems as:

1. Mario's Super Recycle Dash
2. Halo 4: The Quilting Bee
3. Ratchet and Clank's Breast Cancer Walk-a-Thon
4. Lara Croft: Soup Kitchen Volunteer
5. Tom Clancy's Plant A Tree for Arbor Day

I think I might have to finally get the Hi-Def to see these in all their glory when they come out on the 360.

So they did it because they got their video games taken away? Can someone post a link to why or how they think video games are promoting violence?

OMG thats hilarious, seriously the funniest thing I've seen in a while

Violence has always been been viewed as a vice and not a virtue?! Is the guy in the video serious?
Uh, hello? Ever heard of Gladiators, bullfighting, dog fighting and cock fighting (that's roosters, you pervert)? All of these have been around long before videogames.

COINCIDENCE?! I THINK NOT

It's so American to blame things like Columbine and 9-11 on shit like videogames.
When our machine starts to show signs of trouble, we build another gear to assist the faulty gear in turning, instead of just fixing the gear.
banning videogames will stop Columbine type incidents from happening? bullshit.
videogames will make kids kill cops? bullshit, why don't we ever look at the problems people have with police. maybe sensless brutality, power trips, crooked ways etc... have something to do with that. but god forbid we question our boys in blue, much less take an honest look at what theyre up to.

Plus, Columbine was a highschool, kids only a couple years older than them, are now serving in Iraq. You think playing Grand Theft auto is going to hurt them, but sending them into the middle of Bahgdad to split heads apart and blow kids up will be fine?
People need to start excersising critical thinking, and honesty, fast.

I won't even mention 9-11. "Go shopping, go to the malls" that was our presidents response. God forbid we take an honest look at our possition in the world, or what we do that could possibly inspire people to do something like 9-11.
and thats aside form the fact I believe it was an inside job.

The Lawrence Welk Show caused 9/11.

Lmfao. I had to look up at least 3 other vids on the Angery Video Game Nerd, O'nus. That guy is hilarious. The one where he reviews Nightmare on Elm Street is great. Lol. And the Karate Kid game, too. That shit tormented me forever. Hardest damn game on the planet. -_-

Command And Conquer Red Alert 2, don't know if it's Yuri's Revenge or not. But there's a mission with the twin towers in, there's no planes crashing into it though. I think you just have to capture the battle lab just next to it.

See, they even admit it's wrong in the title! You have fair warning.

Another stupid person... seriously, people read into the effects games cause way to much. I will agree thre can be some and the degree differs from person to person, but games cannot influence anyone that far.
