Senator Claims Video Games Are "A Bigger Problem Than Guns"

Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander has opposed most efforts in the Senate to bring an end to the Iraq War or reduce the number of troops in Iraq, voting against an amendment to a bill that would have required that soldiers be given minimum periods of rest before being redeployed to Iraq.

Yeah, video games affect people, not as much as war, real war, wars started on false information fabricated by unqualified members of government. Me no like government and its views on my entertainment.

Amen, The truth. The things we are doing in reality have a much bigger effect on people than what happens in a fantasy world

Who votes for these guys?

Old republicans.

People who need to quit sucking on Medicare's teet and kick off so we can have a better country.

We need us a good old fashioned world wide plague to get us on the right track again. Contagion, The Stand, something fast and eventually curable.

Douchebag Idiot

Corrupt ass mother****er

I do love a good laugh

He's just saying anything he can to protect his interests. He is using video games to seem worse than guns, but he still doesn't **** on games because **** like call of duty Helps make guns more acceptable in society! He doesnt want. A weapons ban.

This is just a cat and mouse game. Go after games and people will find something else to be "influenced" by.

That is why in the last election I boted for every underdog to shake things up. This guarnteed incumbent wins is killing this country.

Seems like you need to work on your spam filter!

It's the rabbit mentality at work. It's beyond disgusting. The coverage of Sandy Hook has been atrocious. On the one hand you have ideologues doing their song and dance which has never brought good into the world but much misery that their victims would have to repair. On the other hand you have coverage which is factually suspect and is pouring nitro and gasoline on the truther fire. That's never a good thing; when conspiracy theorists, 9/11 truther types and (to borrow a phrase from George Carlin) full-blown whackaloons are closer to reality than the 'mainstream' one truly does live in interesting times in the worst possible way.

I'm glad the politicians in my country are a little less retarded than the ones in the US

I love my guns, and I'm glad I grew up in the south. Guys like Lamar (and my neighbors who vote for guys like Lamar) are the only thing I dislike about living in the south.

You know what affects people? Gravity.

Solution? Shoot all affected people into space.

Want to know what a bigger problem than video games are? Politicians. Why don't we ban them.

Because that would solve all our problems obviously.

Yes it would

To you and Ivory_Soul, we don't have time for rational solutions so let's talk about something else.

There is nothing to fear but fear and fearmongers.

I didn't know my hobby was sooo detrimental to society. Nobody has the balls to admit what the real problem is, so they just pass the buck, and the ill informed masses eat it up. Guns don't kill people, and video games don't kill people. People kill people, end of story.

Stupid people say stupid things. Look at our Senate for example.
