A fomer
Lieutenant Colonel in the
rangers, David Grossman is now one of the most vocal "expert" advocates with the idea that
violent computer games cause
violence in children. His most
notorious belief is that
violent games teach children how to kill. Specifically, the game
Doom taught a child how to shoot with six times accuracy of the average FBI accuracy.
What is now known is that
David Grossman is/was a PAID expert witness in lawsuits against the gaming industry, his
research group is taxed as a FOR-PROFIT-AGENCY, and he has a speaking schedule posted at $5000 an appearance.
Essentially, any open minded individual should realise that Grossman's arguments are baseless, illogical and injustified. Unlike as was previously thought, he was not an
ignorant redneck ultraconservatist do-gooder, but actually a heartless
profiteer who fed off peoples inhibitions about
video games. Why heartless? Because he
plays on peoples feelings. When these people are families of victims of schoolyard shootings, this is essentially
bad taste.
