Me, I'm just rather a person who doesn't like fight; more: I don't think that Fighting is the Ultimate Solution for problems in General.


"Ultimate Solution"? Somebody's been reading Nietzsche recently and I know who it is... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What is common with these examples is, that they used violence, negating the possibility of non-violent solutions.


Uh huh, and what apples and oranges have in common is that they're both round.

You're overlooking one very important thing they DON'T have in common: war and Nazism are real; games are not.

I sometimes think it's not the game players that have trouble discerning between reality and fantasy.

To go even deeper: I mean the Learning Process.

Rewarding one particular way of acting possibly leads to letting the rewarded person stay with this way, no more looking at other possible ways of acting.


Okay, so combat in games is bad because it could possibly lead to the effects you mention. Therefore, it follows that anything that could possibly lead to those effects is bad and should similarly be gotten rid of. Groovy, now we have a plan: get rid of things that could possibly lead to violent behavior in a human. Make a list and get back to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

(I know you're not actually saying combat should be elimitated, and I hear what you're saying. I'm just making a point.)

There is no simple cause-effect. It seems like there is because it makes sense intuitively... until you remember that this cause-effect is the same as saying that by getting rid of violence in computer games, humans would stop being violent. And then that makes you rememebr that violence existed before computer games. And then there's the fact that if there was cause-effect, you (Alrik) would be killing people with swords right now because you played a game that causes violence. But you're not killing people because you know that real violence and game violence are completely different things.

We have that same ability here in America.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill someone.

... so I stripped down to nothing but a Super Big Gulp cup and rubberband, and ran up the street screaming "Swing me, gringo!"
