Should videogames be banned forever?

If they are banned, we could have less shootings. Kids can get better grades. The obession of games can be cured. 

No.

God damn it, can we please, PLEASE, stop with all of these thread!?

Omg why this crap. Video games are made for fun, not to encourage people to do violence. kids bring that upon themselfs, they chose to do that crap.

No!  A multi billion dollar industry that employs thousands of people should not be banned because ignorant people want to make it a scape goat for other problems.

Noooooooooooooooope.

I plan on making a living developing games. So nah. Get outta here with that "blame the games" sh*t.

Most countries have the same games released in them, but there is still a lot more violence in some countries than others. It's more than just the violence in the games.

In a time when people blame their failures on something exterior, this thread is just more white noise.

If games were to get blamed I'd be coming for you and a lot of others. not even joking

We should ban dumb people. That will stop shootings.

Banning a billion dollar industry that promotes creativity and brings people from across the globe together with a common interest? 
 
You're a genius. 

This threads still alive. Oh My Gosh.

If anybody tries to even touch my controller, I'll turn them into a newt.

'Cuz I'm magic.

Sounds like it could be human trafficking or the drug trade as well. >.>

Honestly...

Seriously no

Should entertainment be banned forever?

Nope, other countries have about the same amount and yet, their people are not violent as this one. It's more to do with our society and how we treat people and others. We see something we look the other way or make up some lame excuse. Like Penn state, that's another reason on what's going on, people don't care; they only care about themselves and no one else. If they going to kneel jerk and start to tight up things, the history of Americans is that we rebel against things. On the serious note, more people are killed with DWI and most Judges just slap the hands and think he or she will clean up, no, they won't, they will think they are justify of their action and do it again.

Yes! Yes they should. They should ban all video games as soon as some a-hole beats twenty people to death with a copy of Mario Kart.

I want the smallpox virus to resurface.

Just so you can get it.

How ignorant.

No.

How stupid. More fitting.

Yes. While we're at it, movies should be banned, too. TV shows are time consuming. Kids are reading comic books when they should be doing homework. How dare people read novels on the train or in their beds? Why should a person be allowed to view what they want as individual human beings? It's not as if we can think for ourselves or have free will or anything absurd of the sort.

Yes, ban video games. Get to it!

Every time I see you post, I think you lose more and more of your sanity.

Kid creating a thread about banning games on a comic website pretty much proves people will do anything to be less productive, and countless wars will tell you that a video game isn't responsible for the violence in our world.

Yup!

Ban music to stop people from using curse words!

Ban the internet for having inappropriate content.

Don't forget the arms trade. Oh wait, that's only legal when nations use tax dollars to buy them. Whoops. The illegal human trafficking and drug trade(s) could be intensely hindered if they were made legal to a certain extent, and if this prohibition nonsense was no longer so mercilessly enforced.

This is essentially true. The legalization of regulated brothels would be beneficial.

• Reduce the spread of STDs.
• Less sex trafficking (wouldn't be completely gone, but still).
• Safe working environment for the prostitutes in the brothels (not abused by clients or pimps)
• Decline of the street hooker.

One of the world's oldest occupations isn't going away. Might as well make it safer.

Same essentially goes for drugs. I remember a place (I think it was somewhere in Canada) where specific institutions provided a safe place for people to do drugs. The people were monitored - they got high, they did not OD, and if they did then medical care was close by. Last I checked, they had very few overdoses, and none of them resulted in death.

That idea is stupid.
