Bescherm de kinderen, verbrand de games!

Vincent (Gamer_V)
Alhoewel er al kerken zijn geweest die game-avonden organiseerden om jongere mensen naar de kerk te lokken (hoe beter je geloof te belijden dan elkaar af te maken met Halo?) zijn niet alle priesters en pastors het daar mee eens. Rev. Richard Patrick geeft gewelddadig entertainment de schuld van de stijging van misdaad waar 90% van zijn congregatie mee te maken zou hebben gehad. En hoe beter dit tegen te gaan dan door een massale verbranding van games?

We are considering having something similar to a rally where parents and children can bring CDs and video games that they consider are destructive to the mind set of our youth and have a burning, just like they had a gun buyback last year...

Young people are being influenced by what they see and what they hear. They are being influenced by television ... television and videos are telling young people a vision but something that's not reality...

[Violent media] has a tremendous influence on young people and violence. That's basically all they see. Most of them try to emulate what they see, when in reality, the people they see don't even live in those communities. Some of the rappers they see on TV portraying crime don't live in the urban areas — they live in the suburbs somewhere. It's all a facade.
