Violent video games can alter the brain in just one week and make players more aggressive, researchers say.
An Indiana University School of Medicine study found key areas in the brain suffer reduced activity and leave it physically altered. Proove it. So many times people say "they researched it" or "such n such is altered in the brain" ok....where's the scientific proof of that happening in such a way that it influences violence?
The findings fuelled the debate over the impact violent games have on regular players and links to anti-social behaviour.
They also came as a British teacher said children as young as four were hitting classmates as they re-enact scenes from violent 18-rated computer games. THAT'S CALLED BAD PARENTING!
She claimed youngsters were struggling to separate reality from their experiences in the virtual world and then copied the scenes at school. THAT'S CALLED BAD PARENTING!
They were coming to lessons too tired to learn after staying up late playing computer games, and were often leading 'solitary lives'. THAT'S CALLED BAD PARENTING!
Alison Sherratt, a reception class teacher at Riddlesden St Mary’s Church of England Primary in Keighley, West Yorkshire, outlined her concerns at the Association of Teachers and Lecturers conference earlier this month.
She said pupils regularly discussed playing games such as the Call Of Duty series, set in various war zones, and Grand Theft Auto – where players carry out robberies, muggings, killings, drug deals and beat prostitutes with baseball bats.
On one occasion, she saw pupils throwing themselves from a play car in slow motion and pretending blood was spurting out of them. THAT'S CALLED BAD PARENTING!
Her warning came after news that 14-year-old Daniel Bartlam killed his mother with a claw hammer after watching a wide range of violent video games, films and TV storylines. As is the case with a population this large, you're always going to get the odd psyco in the group, he clearly had some mental issue beyond being influenced by a game but again this is partially down to bad parenting because he's 14 and he shouldnt have been playing 15s and 18s so like i said before....THAT'S CALLED BAD PARENTING!
