you just cant even pretend to blame stuff like that on video games. if you could travel back in time or... buy a really old newspaper or two you would realize that ever since cars were first made some kid has gotten into one and tried to see how fast it will go. most likely video games like this reduce the amount of accedents because it gives kids something else to do other then going out risking there lives for a cheap thrill. before there was any real media to blame stuff on kids were already doing stupid stuff and getting people killed. go back in time 100-150 years and you will see 14 year olds with guns and weak morals looking for something to do for a cheap thrill.
The truth behind all of this crap is one simple thing. when a kid does something stupid that gets someone killed you cant blame video games or music or movies or the one legged stripper down the street its the parents fault for raising a stupid kid. If mom and dad would of taught them some sort of common sence or maybe shown some common sence for themself and not givin the moron the keys to the car or the car itself then people wouldnt get killed for stupid stuff like this. Sure accedents happen and they always will but a crash at 45mph because someone had a tire blow out or brakes go out isnt the same as some kid slamming into a bussload of nuns at 95mph.
I really dont understand how anyone can honestly believe video games are to blame for anything other then fat lazy kids that dont get out of the house and see the sunlight.
if a video game is to blame for a car crash from racing... what about match box cars? oh man i lost track of the countless match box car crashes i had when i was little. oh man my tonka truck... i played with that thing every day when i was little but.. you dont see me taking my truck off road smashing into everything i can just because i can.
Its all about bad parents. if any parent tries to blame any sort of media for something stupid a kid did... they are bad parents that need to join the real world and realize whats happening around them. if a kid is influanced by a video game its because noone put the sence in his head to know better.
