Killing others is a part of human nature. Many don't understand that everyone has the desires to kill. It's just their trap by society and what society sees as good and evil, cool and uncool, beautiful and ugly. If people want to blame something blame society for categorizing each individual.

Those dirty horrible scouse bog-rat scumbags. (Some scousers are not bog-rats, this is not generalisation I am on about those particular people who made the vote). Honestly this will get thrown out of proportion as though those youths are speaking on behalf of all youths and here we will see a ban on violent games in the UK. Thanks alot dip*****s. Violent video games do not create violent people bad up bringings from parents that cannot be arsed to do anything but get drunk, take drugs and kick the crap out of there kids create violent people. Governments knocking down parks and hang outs without putting any other incentives in place so that youths have nothing to do creates violent people since they have no other form of release. When are they going to start realising this instead of trying to put the blame on the only type of entertainment we actually have left FFS!!!

"They also advised that parents should prevent their children from hanging out in the streets all day and night."



Heh, yeah, right. Chav parents being responsible for their children. Don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them gave their children knives.

Are you from the UK? If you are, run for Prime Minister - you get my vote :o)

animals don't kill for sport, so plus one to them.

Peole in the UK tend to blame just about anything they can instead of their own society and subcultures for the problems they see.



In spite of banning any and all firearm ownership and making carrying anything larger than a knife file illegal, their violent and nonviolent crime rate keeps going up and up.



Want to solve petty thuggery? Allow honest citizens to arm themselves on the street. The youth will learn quickly enough not to target the old lady for her purse when a few get shot dead.



Alas, Britons are fairly stupid in this regard and believe that the police will protect them.

Wow... just wow. Beat the ***** out of everyone? By that standard you're right to say that your idea of a human is no more advanced than an animal. Aaaanyway



Main points to consider:



*Religion has nothing to do with evolution or human superiority over animals, however you look at it



*Kids' attitudes depend greatly on their upbringing. If they're taught to give a ***** about things, they will, and they will become more educated. Makes no difference if people are young or old, if they are shown to not know enough about a topic they will deride it.



*'right' and 'wrong' are subjective terms. Your interpretation of 'right' might be someone elses' wrong. For example, your 'right' involves beating wrongdoers up. That's something i'd say is 'wrong'. What happened to rehabilitation? Or is that too big a word?



*Education is *mostly* inversely proportional to violence in my experience. Those without brains resort to violence when they can't get what they want.



*Using discussion instead of violence is more commonly referred to as civility and intelligence. I suggest that if you propose to beat the ***** out of everyone that does something 'wrong' then you are the opposite.

Your way of thinking is so scary, I honestly would run the ***** away from you if you were in my uni or something.

Lmao most of these stabbings are by the (mostly) black kids pretending to be that guy from menace to socity with the platts



this has a much bigger real conection with grime (the music genre) and hip hop

you sound more like 8-11 to me

So, they are blaming violent games for them carrying knifes? How retarded can you get. If they cannot tell the difference between real life and fiction then there must be something wrong with them in the first place. I really don’t understand why people carry knifes, anyone who feels the need to carry a knife are COWARDS. I am not that old, 30+ and I grew up in a rough part of South East London, and I was taught to use my fists. If you carried a knife, or anything come to that, you were considered a coward or a mug. And that is what the kids are today, nothing but cowards. One Teenager says “well, I am going to carry one because the other guys are” and the other guys say the same thing. So you see my point. Let’s see and end to this knife craze that will separate the men from the girls.

think i'll finish GTA4, then go out and stab someone....





........sod it, its too cold outside!! lol



seriously though, i think this is just kids trying to use something to blame, when the real reason is that they know, in the soft handed society that we now live in, they honestly think they can get away with anything!



its because they're not scared, yet when i was young i was frightened to get into trouble due to getting a hard slap from my old folks!

I have *****ed Ad nauseum about this very thing, so let me put it into a different perspective...



In US history, there was a little thing called the Salem Witch trials. It got started in the early 1690's and is believed to have come about because a couple of teenage girls were trying to cover up the fact that a young female slave was teaching them about Voodoo or other Pagan beliefs.



When their father caught them practicing this faith system they faked an epileptic seizure. After their demon defecate dance they then claimed the devil was in them. Blaming the slave as the cauldron of evil.



It wasn't until years later (and several innocent deaths) that the girls fessed up and told the truth. Yet the lie was so great and so well played that there was little or no turning back.



Putting things into current perspective, kids today don't even remotely know the meaning behind "Saving Your Ass" or what it's true context means.



Up until about the mid 80's (1900's for those who lost the thread) it was a common practice to beat the **** out of your kids. You screwed up, your ass literally paid the piper. So to say that the girls from yore didn't want a beating to end all beatings makes it easier to believe that they would risk the grand charade.



Kids today DON'T get beaten. There is no excuse for NOT telling the truth, yet the typical act of not wanting to loose something is still in practice today.



Humans are either prone to violence or they are not. ALL humans are prone to catastrophic violence.



Don't think so? Then i propose this scenario...



A girl in the street is being attacked by an assailant with a knife. 1. Do you help her or hesitate with the thought of your own survival if you were to intervene? 2. What if the same situation were to happen, but it were your mother/loved one as the victim. What would your value on self preservation be?



Violence is a conditioned behavior. Saying that a video game or movie is sufficient to 'condition' the human mind for violence is preposterous. The viewer is NEVER IN the violence.



Ask a combat veteran how apt he/she is to strike out physically if in a stressful situation. A soldier would only be CAPABLE of doing it because the years of conditioning and exposure to the real thing have touched on a primal programming, thus insuring his/her survival.



Even the criminally retarded know that a movie or game is just that. It isn't real. "REAL" hurts and is permanent.
