In reality, I have psychosis. I go by two aliases, Trey and John. I'm on the last of my meds right now, so everything is cool, but they only last a few minutes. I can't control when I'm about to become John or Trey, it just happens.
.....
What is this? Crap, my meds are wearing off..

FACT: racing games make people more violent than shooting games. Yeah i would agree with that, shooting games are a way of releasing anger but driving games on the other hand, they make you rage when you lose control or crash. But then again, if you die in a shooting game... that can lead to rage, but then you go and kill who ever killed you and then you are happy again ;D

I get more rage playing Crash Bandicoot than Splinter Cell.

Trey and John, what you're describing is multiple personality disorder not psychosis. Some how I kinda doubt that you're really the same person as non of my alters have created their own accounts. One of my alters did manage to create a MySpace account some time before I even knew the web site existed though, long story.

One of my alters did manage to create a MySpace account some time before I even knew the web site existed though, long story. Except there's one thing you didn't realize; hippos come after me while I'm in bed, and Freddy Krueger is out to get you. I hear it's amazing when the purple stuffed flap jaw in space with a tuning fork as a raw blink on hairy carey rock. I need scissors, 61! I can't remember the last time I.. Hey, you have no avatar! you know what? FUCK YOU! I'm gonna kill you so hard that you will DIE to death!! I love you. I've always wanted to to tell you this, but.. SHIRT I'm late for work. I'll finish my thought later. Okay, I'm back! I was solving my rubik's cube today, but I realized I was solving the wrong side, so I went over to my co worker and hit him wicked hard with it. He tried to punch me, so I hit him in the head with my foot. I ran home. I have blood on me. It's not mine. There's a man standing in my room. I don't know who he is but we wants my bouncy ball. This reminds me of when.. Hey! There's a way to expand the message box! WOW! I think my mom wants to kill me. She offered to bring cookies to my house, and I was scared she was going to poison me. Monty Python is great because I relate to it so well. SHIRT, I need to eat something. It's been a couple of days. My sister is here. She's trying to kill me I think. My mom doesn't believe I have a sister. My sister doesn't believe I have a mom.

It's an angry mother thing. "The video games ruined my baby!" They're fact-free. Try asking someone with that stance if they think vaccines cause autism, too. There's no link, but that doesn't matter to them, because whatever they think can't be wrong.

I agree, but I still stand by my opinion that "violent" games are not real enough and therefor not suited for young minds (up to 15 ca in my opinion)

I don't know....I've been playing video games since I was 5, and I have yet to even get anything as small as a detention, let alone get in a fight with someone. Heck, I even got along with my sister growing up! It all comes down to the parenting. If parents stress to NOT pull out a 2026 gun out of nowhere and randomly start shooting aliens, then it shouldn't really matter.

You think that rules should be more strict because games aren't violent enough? I don't understand that at all. I don't agree with the whole violent video game rating thing because it's fake but I at least understand that some people might not understand that it's fake. Your opinion however I don't know if I agree or not because I don't understand what your opinion is.

I have been playing video games since before i can remember, this includes all of the GTA series and many other violent games. I dont believe that this has made me a violent person but it certainly has desensitised me to violence, which is seen as a bad thing, but i would disagree with that...
It just means i wouldnt flip out or shitbrix in a violent situation which doing so could make it worse....

I think that video games are an easy target and it's easy for parents to blame. Bad parenting can't be overlooked.

So, basically they're is going to tell me what is and isn't going to work for me? That's hardly fair.....Bottling up is mentally, emotionally, and physically bad for you. We all need an outlet. Contradiction! I'm aware that I won't have a video game to calm me down at every instance, but most people are capable of saving the anger for later. You realize that's what bottling-up is, right?

Let me rephrase.......... Bottling up emotions for long periods of time is mentally, emotionally, and even physically bad for you. In this context, I'd like "long periods of time" to mean at least a couple of days. There is always time in someone's day to write about what they're feeling, play a song on an instrument about how they're feeling, or even blow a virtual head off or two in a video game. Everyone has their methods.

There is always time in someone's day to write about what they're feeling, play a song on an instrument about how they're feeling, or even blow a virtual head off or two in a video game. Everyone has their methods. Trey has a point. It's not so much the bottleing of emotions that's bad for you, it's the bottleing for long periods of time. The difference is quite simple. I'll give 2 different sinerios as examples. Person A bottles up their emotions 1 day at a time. At the end of each day person A uses an outlet like video games to let out that bottled up anger for the day. In this way no real person is hurt. Person B bottles up their emotions for weeks, months, maybe even years at a time. Person B doesn't have an outlet to let out that bottled up anger safely. In this way, it will be different how long it takes depending on the person and stress level but eventually they're not going to be able to hold back any longer and just snap all at once. For a more in depth explination, lets add person C. For the intent of this example person C is the source of frustration for both person A and Person B. So when Person A has a problem with person C and doesn't know how to confront C about it A ignores the problem for a day, use an outlet to let out their anger, and then is able to confront C more calmly. Person B on the other hand has simular problems with C but person B bottles their emotions for years without an outlet and without ever confronting person C about the problem. Say maybe 6 years of this and finally there's no more room inside the bottle. Now this person is likely to not only confront person C about the problems they're causeing but because person B is in a fit of rage at this point is also taking out anger for other problems person C didn't even cause. Maybe person B isn't even yelling at person C even though person C is the cause of all B's problems, maybe he just snapped at an innocent bystander who maybe said or did something that reminded B of C. Whatever the case the outcome is never good. Ideally it's probably be better to confront the person up front but not everyone is going to be comfterble with confrantation and maybe never actually talk to the person causeing the problem but as long as they're useing some kind of safe outlet no harm can really be done. Of course there's also the 3rd case sinerio where your outlet becomes the source of your frustration and then where do you go to let out your emotion?
