I hate science

[sylvanstargazer]

Reading scientific papers on video games and violence is interesting. Whereby "interesting" means "incredibly annoying". Slashdot linked to a newpaper article that quotes a guy who published this. Now, his quoted beliefs aren't in the peer-reviewed article, but he doesn't bother to clarify that. I read through all of the previously published

yeah, it's annoying as hell. But it's not science. It's people trying to push their agenda with feeble excuses for "evidence", which unfortunately works all too well with emotional "hot button" issues. Video games and "violent media" are just easy scapegoats, and it's much easier to attack them than try to fix fundamental problems in our society.

Yeah, if only kids would go back to playing wholesome non-violent games like Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and Indians.
