No. (that’s a serious answer).

No is right. Rather it is a reflection of human nature. No in that is does not have any causal effect.

yes and TOd you should listen to what Brandy says! can you see how it is a volcane and makes an ashed cloud? how can you say it is happening? it is only because it does! it is also with violence and it is why a bear will eat your arm if you are holding a bag of cheese. it is also why the tiger will eat your lucks if you are already dying. it is also not able to stop!

Great question,I think it depends on the participants mental state……so the answer COULD be yes .

Randy’s sparseness leaves something to be desired. To which half of the double question did he respond with a “no” – (a) a cause of increased violence or (b) a healthy outlet?

man, you guys are peices of work! fun to read i guess, but anyway, i just saw a TED talk on MiNDtv about online games as potential problem solving tools, by which gamers can access real information and challenges that help solve real world issues. i kept hearing “institute for the future” so i’m going to check it out, http://www.iftf.org/JaneTED2010
in direct response to the question, i say shut the **** up and get outside, the games we play with reality are more violent, and better for us.

Can anyone give any example of how a game, a movie, a play, a whatever, caused increased violence?
Does hockey cause violence after a hockey game? Anyone ever hear someone blame the Flyers for their out of control domestic violence?
