Most studies done on violence and video games support the conclusion that violent video games can increase aggressive behavior in children and adolescents, especially boys, researchers said on Friday.

An analysis of 20 years of research shows the effects can be both immediate and long-lasting.

"The majority of the studies would suggest there are effects," said Jessica Nicoll of Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, Florida, who worked on the study.

One study showed that children who played a violent game for less than 10 minutes and then took a mood assessment test rated themselves with aggressive traits and aggressive actions shortly after playing.

wow, nice to see pshycologists wasting thier time on the theory that video games promote violence. video games are meant to portait, non-consequential enviorments, why? becuse quite frankly after coming home from nice hard, sweaty, boreing day of reality, i dont want to PLAY reality, i want to do something easy and NOT REAL. i relize that they find a tie between video games and violence, well let me give them a little dose of common sence. the gaming industry is huge, billions of dollars, all compressed into fake world of fun, magic, guns, violence, and more. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, JOBS, BUSSNESSES, BUILINDINGS, MOVIES, it's all tied into one thing, GAMEING. Billions of dollars, now let me run this by you in more practical terms, thats more money than we have in the american EDUCATION SYSTEM. 10-20 BILLION dollars, enough to buy your self a small COUNTRY. so the fact of the matter is EVERY ONE PLAYS THEM. so relating video games to violence is like relating BREATHING to violence. everyone breathes! everyone plays games. its one of those well no F---ing duh!!! things. yea you could ask a convict has he played GTA he's might say yea, but when he murdered his wife and children you think he was doing it so he could get some bonus points? i mean come the F--- on guys. these to things are so Un-related it's stupid. and for the testing before and after video games. well mabye i could go and make you play through a puzzle about 15 times, you will fail 14 out of 15 tries, and see if your a bit angry. YOU GONNA BE A BIT AGGROVATED. why? becuse you failed, mutipul times. and when you finaly win your HAPPY, but still a bit twinged on the fact that yea it was annoting for a few minutes. YOU KNOW WHAT!?!? i would bet a outrageous amout of money, on the the idea that if you ban video games crime would shoot up. why? cuse poeple would run out of jobs, some stock would plumet, children now have waaay to much free time with no X-Box to fill it in for them. so my view on this whole Video-Game-Violence thing is to the pschologists, go get a real job, deal with the fact that video games own. and most importantly eat shit.

VIDEO GAMES RULE

-MasterOfABC's hahahahah
 
I DONT CARE

If they said you will be a mass murderer after playing Gta:SA or somthing else then they can go S&¤%W themselves if u want to be a mass murderer ull be a mass murderer if u dont want to dont be and .
 
if you post articles like this again I will @#$#@$#@ you you @#$%$!$# !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:p :D


@ MasterOfABCs: wtf?!
 
A video game is going to have as big of an influence on my violence level as watching the news would.

If a kid's fat, ugly, retarded, couch potatoe, whatever, it's the parents faults, not video games.

Yeah...I think I went retarded after ABC's post...
 
wow video games have an effect on your emotions? i never would have guessed! and violent video games make you violent!! This is CRAZY!! WHATS NEXT ARE THEY GOING TO TELL ME SCARY MOVIES CAUSE YOU TO BE SCARED BECAUSE I WONT BELEIVE IT
 
soooo what their trying to say is the reason i am EEEVVIILLL is because of my long hours playing kirby?
 
Exactly. Playing Kirby will make you want to inhale people and copy their powers. Yeah.
 
Playing WC3 undead campaign you will become undead :p no really
 
I hope all you who back this have another life besides gaming.....

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
