They're not directly responsible in anyway at all and their effect is minimal

Minimal is in the the eye of the beholder. Try telling that to an innocent Arab family who has just had 90% of their loved ones blown up by a brainwashed child/woman who was trying to target some one else. The boss wont give his life while he has others to do it for him.

I'm telling you a game wasn't directly responsible for that, nor probably responsible at all. Plus an arab is probably more likely to get blown up by an American or an Israeli anyway.
The religious texts such as the Bible and the Qu'ran on the other hand are probably more responsible for 100s of millions of deaths at a bare minimum, probably billions! Why don't we ban them?
But the thing is, your not even talking about some specific, so let's talk about the media of the written word, it's absolutely responsible for billions of deaths and in a much more direct way than any video game has ever been, why don't we drastically curtail it?

We are probably talking along the same lines.
It`s the religious fanatics over centuries that have used the bible/Qu`ran,and now video games to wipe out millions of people/ races, The books/games were not intended for death,but the interpretation of these by irrational leaders seeking power over the common people has gone far beyond that. I have said in many past posts that religion wrongly interpretated has been one of the cruelist killers of the human race. Some are starting to see some sense while others just want to kill to be in charge of their people.

im sorry but if someone can be swayed by a video game they can be swayed by other types of persuasion.
take away video games and you still get terrorists and suicide bombers.

Hi heywood.
Would you not agree that modern technology has made it easier for fanatics to get to the young ones in their society. ie. you hand over a video that has been altered to show good over evil to a young person when in fact it is evil over good. A percentage of these teenagers will run with the idea and think they are doing the right thing for the "cause" and kill/maim anyone that happens to be on site.
We are all surely aware that random killings are against moral calls from any religion. All religions have been guilty over the centuries of horrific acts of violence. But why in this 21st century do we still have clerics who wish to take us back to pagan days.
cheers

Same reason we have politicians that want to take us back to "Victorian Values", most people are generally not that clever or rational.
