I CAN TELL YOU NOW

This is an attention getting-statement of what i think about video games and how it ‘apparently’ causes violence.

The majority of adults disagree on young people playing violent shooter games, why? I do not know maybe is how the media portrays the few young people who’ve had possession of a firearm and has gone to their local or old elementary school and has killed students and teachers. The media always has to include video games to the shooter as if they are connected but if we look more into depth with past few killings the shooter normally had a bad upbringing or has family or other problems that has affected them. ‘MADISON TOWNSHIP —A 14-year-old student charged in a shooting at a Butler County Jr/Sr high school that left four students injured was in court Tuesday.’ I read through this article in depth and found out that the shooter’s parents did not like him at all and always neglected him from a young age, this might not be the exact cause or trigger that set him off to do such horrifying action but it is a better cause or motive than him playing 18R rated games. There have been numerous occasions and as i’ve said they have all had problems to cause them to do that, it’s not video games.

I can speak for all gamers when i say video games do not influence violence as i have been playing violent video games all my life and not once did i feel the need to hurt or kill anyone and if i would’ve i think it’ll be because of something or a cause not a because i played a violent video game and felt the need to go and hurt someone or kill.  ‘Survey: 75% Of Parents Think Violent Video Games Contribute To Actual Violence‘ Adult’s may complain about kids being violent but if that is the case then they are in the wrong as they have contributed to that by buying them the game, as you cannot purchase a game whilst being under 18 if the game is ‘R RATED’ and all the violent video games are r rated. I researched and found an adult that before did play a lot of violent video games and turned out fine like the majority of people, here is what he has to say.

 “I played violent games as a kid and turned out fine”

I did too, and I think that (almost) everyone here has. The problem isn’t that, it’s that parents will blame violent video games for violent tendencies, but at the same time are still buying their children the games they’re crucifying and their opinions are considered valid by a majority of their peers.

What i know is that the accusations are false, and that they should bring facts not theories of what they think because without hard evidence you cannot prove anything and it’s only a group that think that violent games causes violence but if we bring everyone, 95% of the population does NOT believe that violent games causes violence.

Cased Closed.

Isabelle Kerr published an article about young ‘youths’ using ‘slang ‘ these days and pointing out the finger to the young generation saying that  ‘as a member of the young generation, partly responsible for these linguistic calamities, I can only apologies. I am embarrassed and ashamed.’  Isabelle clearly does not agree with the words the young generation uses (slang). At one point Isabelle used William Shakespeare, saying that he would be ashamed with today’s society, but that does not add up as William Shakespeare invented and brought slang to this world, without him there would be no ‘Slang’ or words that we now DO NOT consider as slang such as ‘Assassination’.

Assassination would be a superb example to use because not as much people would think that assassination was a slang word made by William Shakespere but as it became more common to use, it eventually evolved and not considered as slang as it just felt and sounded like a normal word, and that’s the beauty of slang it evolves the worlds imagination and let’s them evolve and express themselves in a better and more efficient way, so in my opinion Isabelle Kerr article is already false as she brought William Shakespeare in to this obviously not aware that he himself made slang.

One point to make clear, she is apologising for her young generation for using slang, but doesn’t she use slang herself and isn’t she ‘part of the young generation’ here she uses  “reality check” which in itself is an idiom first used in use in 1960 and its meaning is  “a wake-up call”. Idioms such as reality check started themselves as slang and have now made their way into the common English language like ‘Assassination’ and why? Because people opened their minds and expressed themselves in way that was independent and unique. Isabelle Kerr had various mistakes another one would be her getting slang mixed up with shortening words like “seriously” to “Srsly”. What i highly doubt is that Isabelle Kerr understands, the difference of it or understands the whole concept of slang and how it can have an impact on everyone’s everday’s life.

My final conclusion for Isabelle Kerr is to look into slang in more depth and understand why it is used and that not just the young generation such as herself uses it because without it most words we use in our everday life would not exist and who knows how that would turn out, be thankful for what we the younger generation are offering to this World because we could and will have a big impact in the future and once we are older the same will go to kut young generation they are in charge of what they want to change. My final verdict for this is long live the young generations freedom to express themselves and also for anyone freedom for what they want.

Walking out my door, eager to wake up and enjoy an amazing day. Sprinting down the stairs like a cheater to purchase the freshly made bread ready to be devoured like a pack of hyenas would do, whilst walking out excited to have purchased my breakfast I feel the light shining on the surface of my face, I observe how amazing the day is with kids around screaming, shouting and running as if there life depended on it, events happening, a wide range of ages, ethnicity, shape and sizes participating, engaging and speaking to one another despite of their differences. It truly is a good start to the day entering my flat, ready to prepare myself a mouth-watering, astonishing breakfast accompanied with a nice lay in next to the television. As time passes more people leave, events close, kids are not heard any more, swiftly darkness starts to evolve, immediately everything changes, it’s like… you are not in the same place, it’s like you are in a whole different area from the once we all see in the morning.

A place so peaceful, bright and shiny filled with people, it’s truly a place you’ll love to live in, wake up to birds singing, when you step outside instantly people waving, smiling at you and everyone. But I just don’t get it, how can a place so calm, relaxing and safe change dramatically in the DARK? Everything changes, instantly i hear dogs squealing, people arguing, shouting, sirens all over my estate i also see outside my window a groups of youths with bats and metal bars, angry bloodthirsty dogs tearing one another apart like wild animals.. it truly is horrific to see, this is why i hardly go out at night, i don’t mention it as i try to forget it, i decided to leave my flat to go to the shop to buy myself a nice cold beverage as i was parched, my action was very different even though i had the same desire to buy something absolutely amazing but took a different approach, I did not run down stairs i actually walked slowly quietly and carefully like a turtle, i took the lift instead of the stairs the lift smelt horrific it smelled of urine walked out my flat to see police cars abandoned with the bright blue light shining all upon my face, little kids screaming but not the scream of joy I instantly took of to the shop purchased my drink and quickly exited the shop to be safe and sound in my warm flat, same process occurred as i made my way up back into my house, police everywhere group of youths staring me down as if it was a ‘don’t blink game’ homeless people going crazy from taking drugs outside my flat block, the lift vandalised and filled with urine, this was not time thing though this happens every night, well i get this is just another day in the blocks or flats of the government where they forget about all of us  but only one thing stayed the same my house was the only nice and relaxing place that always stayed the same.
