Did video games had anything to do with the columbine shootings?

Answer 1

No, the combination of personalities of the boys allowed the Columbine tragedy occur. Without a Harris, Klebold was a typical underachieving, depressed teen who hated and blamed himself more than he hated or blamed others. Without Klebold, Harris was a psychopath who would have eventually, on his own, wreaked havoc on the world he hated and the stupid, worthless people who inhabited it; he enjoyed hating, he enjoyed demeaning, and he enjoyed the idea of inflicting pain and suffering on others. Harris was also an adept liar. His friends and classmates reported that he lied about anything and everything. He enjoyed lying as much as he enjoyed hating and knew that it gave him an advantage. Authorities have gained a lot of insight into these personalities since their deaths because they not only left behind their websites and videos, but also journals chronicling their true feelings.

Answer 2

A bunch of people with degrees (idiots) did a study that showed how all of the students in the shooting all played Doom and D&D (Dungeons and Dragons). the reason I call the people who conducted this study idiots is because they blamed the games on the students actions. In reality Video Games and Board Games cannot make anyone or cause anyone to go out and kill people. Indeed they provide a realease for these feelings to be made. In reality, it is too easy to bame video games for a parents lack of interset in their childrens lives, or a teachers lack of interest in their students lives. People tend to ignore other people and go about there business, and when something bad happens, video games get the blame.

Answer 3

No, not if used correctly. If a 3 year old plays GTA 5, that could have some affects on his psychological well being, whilst a 15 year old playing GTA 5 would be much more mature about it. That's why ratings exist. So in a whole... Video games may be blamed for some elements of violence in human but the blame should be rested with the parent who ignored the rating of the game.
