Comment Contradiction? (Score 1) 626
First Tim Buckley says:
"Nobody is born knowing right from wrong. That is something that is taught. Parents either teach it to their kids the right way, or ignore their kids and let television and video games do it for them."
He is then asked:
"Is there a correlation between playing violent video games and acting in a violent manner?"
To which he responds:
"I don't believe so."
Hasn't he just contradicted himself?
If a parent neglects their parental duties and does instill a proper sence of right and wrong in their kids, and, as Mr. Buckley puts it, "let[s] television and video games do it for them," then aren't those kids going to be directly influenced by the games they play? Wouldn't that be more than correlation? wouldn't it then be the root of the problem?
I think Mr. Buckley should either revisit his argument, or realize that he has no ground to stand on.
