Where Politics And Video Games Collide

I'm glad that one of the people who the ignorant vote (and massacre) chasers misquote or attribute false statements to in an attempt to push their own agenda, has had the decency to stand up and say "No, that is not what I said, you are wrong."

I wish that the APA would chase down every instance where Jack Thompson has stated that they found a direct causal link between violent video games and print/declare a correction. They responded on GP before explaining what they really found, a casual correllation that only proved that playing a violent game made some people more aggressive (as football, or basketball or even Bible fragments also do). Maybe they are not aware of it (which is hard to believe as Thompson sends out so many press releases). If not, then this should be brought to their attention, and at the very least they should contact Jack Thompson and explain to him how he is wrong. But then again, that would only prove that they are part of the grand conspiracy, along with the Florida Bar, Take Two, Blank Rome, Area 51, the Smurfs, etc.

While the correction is satisfying to see, I still believe Mr Brown to be wrong in one respect. He states at the end "For this reason, we would be remiss as a society to ignore this public health hazard that has gotten so far out of hand."
Violent video games are not a public health hazard, never mind one that has gotten "out of hand". If they were a health hazard there would be proof! Not stated opinions, or biases, but actual proof. Which to this date does not, and is never likely to, exist.
