“Playing video games could be compared to smoking cigarettes. A single cigarette won’t cause lung cancer, but smoking over weeks or months or years greatly increases the risk. In the same way, repeated exposure to violent video games may have a cumulative effect on aggression.”
When are these bullshit sensationalist comparisons going to end?!
- Domenic_S 14y agoThere's a theory that it actually is one cigarette that gives you cancer -- the tobacco in that one cig absorbed radioactive material and triggers the cancer. That theory supposedly explains why a great number of smokers don't get lung cancer. I'd find a link, but I'm at work. A more apt comparison for the article might be cigarettes & emphysema/heart disease. Not saying I agree with it, but it'd be a better analogy.
