By that logic we can also say there's an argument between drinking and church, as my textbook I was just going through has those correlated. It's a very obvious trend with liquor stores increasing almost linearly with churches. Does that mean all chruch goers are also drinkers? Maybe, but it's more likely that there's another cause here, and that they aren't connected at all. That's how I feel about this video game violence BS. Correlation DOES NOT indicate causastion, and it seems most people don't get it.

Not all studies are skewed by spurious variables. Since these studies do control for spurious variables, the correlation is statistically significant.

Who gives a shit what Christians babble about? God needs to come take them all to heaven or something, just get them to stfu.

Funny thing is, I'm not a Christian and MW2 angers me. Not because of the violence, but because of the arcade Halo style game IW made...

So a small insignificant group doesn't like it, and intolerant hatemongers complain about all Christians. :roll:

Christianity is one of the biggest religions in the world. Their ilk are the hatemongers. We're simply the logic and reason of modern society.

Yes, and I'm sure you think all Muslims are the same too. Ever seen a Sunni killing a Shi'a? Fun stuff.

Here's my response:

If Christians get to ban violent video games because they're "offensive", then I want to be able to have Christian music banned 'cause it's suckiness offends me.

Based on the OP, I assumed this should have been in P&N. Looking at the thread, I was apparently correct.
I move to move.

The outfit claims that the best course is to have a large fire and decent citizens should burn copies of the game in public.

If only we could throw all our problems into a fire.

I was about to post my opinion on the matter, but then apathy got the better of me...

Well, if parents actually followed the ratings model, this wouldn't be an issue. If there is anyone to blame, it is the parents for allowing their kids to have games that aren't suitable for their age group. And of course the workers at the stores that allow kids to buy the games. Whatever.

I think the only word you put any effort into was the last one. Whatever is very appropriate.

You gotta read the article. Fundamentalist christians dont give a damn about ratings systems. They want offensive stuff to not exist. They want this game banned or edited so heavily its not the same.

See, this is exactly why one wise man said: "Religion is OPIUM for the people". (then again this same man's proposed system was also a "religion" in itself )

Drugs are bad, especially in excess, and so is religion. Believing in god is ok. Believing in god and FORCING your beliefs on others is moronic.

I would say a few more things about what I think about religion and religious people, but then my post will be borderline trolling, and I don't want that.

What I don't understand is why anyone, religious or not, has to be the morality police for the rest of the world. You don't want your kids exposed to such things: don't let them play the game. You don't want my kids exposed to such things: fuck off.

And as far as religious bashing goes: I find atheists to be far more obnoxious when it comes to forcing believes, or lack there of, upon others.

Eek, this might belong in P&N. I live in the same state as these guys and I hadn't even heard this rubbish until now.
