      I was unbelievable happy when I heard that they are going to do a Bullshit episode about violent videogames. I LOVE violent videogames myself but I get pissed off at people who say that the videogames make people violent. I've always liked violence in games and movies, I've been watching horror since I was 7! I'm not volent at all, rather the opposite. I'm a goddamn hippie! I don't even kill flies! When I watch violence in a game I KNOW that it is not real, I know that doing this for real is wrong and it doesn't trigger me at all to go out and do it. It calms me down accually because to me, violent videogames are my anger management.

      The games and movies doesn't make the kids violent, shitty parenting does. If it says 18+ in a game, then it is 18+ for a reason! You don't give your 12-yeard-old a game like that. And I think you gotta have a talk with your kids about the difference between reality and fantasy. Because not all people can see the difference between those things, aspecially not kids.

      I think it's stupid to have laws against violent games and movies. It is a videogame/movie, it is not real! Even the game Silent Hill was censored here in Europe because European laws says you can't kill children in a videogame (there was a monster that looked like a kid with a knife and they had to replace those monsters with other monsters). To this, I'd like to refer to Penn's Penn Says video about the rape game (link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ACSsUhFk7I ). And I repeat, it's a game, it is not real.

      I'm over 18, I'm old enough to know the difference between right and wrong, I don't wanna suffer for what others does to other people.

      I'm gonna go sleep with my teddybear now.
