Games are in no way related to the situation. Games can't make a person act.

A popular excuse I hear is that the game "influenced" someone to do what they did. That's a bunch of bullshit too. Games don't influence. A person still has to act on their own, which a game can't make them do.

Some people are pretty impressive though, like sheep.  Mostly they wind up in cults, giving their insane leaders all their money, property, and daughters.  Then, when the time is right, they all commit mass suicide.

And it's not just video games being blamed for "influencing" people. There's movies, tv shows, music, books... although I believe that video games are being targeted the most.

Games are mostly picked on. It's the biggest industry. Bigger than filming, music, or books. It's what kids are mostly involved with too.

People can't really say a book will hurt kids, but a game can always have something bad about it. Even though most of these kids won't be playing these games for another 16 years....

Games show you what it shows. Books let you imagine it, you create what the people look like and so on. For me books get my mind going a lot more than games.

I can understand some, but most of those are stuff we would never read. Besides that books should never be banned or censored.

Sadly, there's a huge list of banned books.

I feel it's wrong to ban books. Who has the right to tell me what I can and can't read? Nobody has that right.

As far as I know this isn't banned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Bible. So why ban anything.

The Da Vinci Code is banned in Lebanon because it's “offensive to Christianity.” Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is banned in Hunan, China because the animals have human intelligence. Rights of Man is banned in the U.K because it supports the French Revolution.

People will find the most ridiculous reasons to ban books. It's stupid. Books were meant to be read, not be hidden away from the world.
