School Essays and Pretentious Websites

[Rainzx¹]

I'm have to write a paper at school about if violent video games effect people.

I looked stuff up on Bing and this link came up
http://www.parenting.com/gallery/violent-video-games?pnid=501499


I don't think there is a more pretentious website on earth.
The part i like the most of this is that the title is "10 Violent Video Games to Avoid" When there is actually 12 video games listed. :/

How odd. I have an essay about thanksgiving.

A variety of studies have shown that dwelling on violent video games throughout the day tends to make people more aggressive.  Not thinking about them has very minor affects.  

Before you yell at me, I said a) thinking about them, and b) more aggressive, not more violent.  

UPDATE:  That website is very gay.

Thinking about nearly anything will change your behaviour to some degree.

I should have said dwelling on or something.

Can you read? The site tells you to not give these games to children, which ai think everyone can agree with

Same thing.

For instance, if you constantly 'dwell on' or think about negative things like poverty and war daily, you'll eventually go insane.

That may be outdated (or totally false, as in from an unreliable source) information.

small children should not play games meant for adults, no

the only time it's ever OK for someone underage to own a game above their 'scope' of ratings is if they're obviously mature enough for it

The problem is that some idiotic parents believe video games are for children and only children and adults playing them are pathetic. That the age ratings mean nothing and that the video game industry are toymakers.

Which is strange considering as of late many games have been targeted at older audiences (teens+).

I guess maybe because of people who played things around the NES era in their childhood that just grew up playing games that are adults now.

Bullstuff did a story on this and it was pretty funny.

Please look up something from an ACTUAL STUDY from someplace credible like a University or some other organization.

Then add in the beginning of your essay, "Since most of the websites provided on the subject were biased fanatical parenting and religious organizations who didn't even put to use any form of the scientific method to support their claims that video games make people mindless animals, I shall be using this study from the University of blah blah blah as my guide."

That should be an A+ right there.
