It’s So Easy to Blame Grand Theft Auto IV for all the Problems in the World Today

Attention avid gamers: are you sick and tired of hearing all of this slandering of violent video games like GTA IV (Grand Theft Auto Four), where parents and society as a whole are apt to always point the proverbial finger at these video games as the root of all problems present in modern day society? It is ridiculous if you think about it, seriously! Video games are played using a plastic controller, attached to a console, connected to a television set – they do not represent anything realistic in any way, shape or form. In fact, most people are not becoming tantalized with the fake, cartoon-like violence that they see in a video game, nor are they becoming desensitized by playing games like GTA IV. It’s so easy to Point the Finger Yet it seems that every time a kid commits a violent crime, video games like GTA IV are blamed as the culprit. When in reality there are other, far more violent things that our children are being subjected to. Like violent movies, the news, television programs and others. So when people blame video games like GTA, its rubbish! They are purely overlooking the vast array of facts: like real people kill real people on TV, or the news reports violence and death on the hour. Get it Together People Nobody plays a video game and then goes out and shoots their friends at school. It does not happen. Rather, these people are raised improperly, their parents allow them access to numerous violent mediums, and they don’t lock their guns up at night. Then it’s really easy to blame a video game for your own, or society’s failure when something tragic occurs.
