[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Locke357 Quite frankly, studies produce mixed results often, especially at the onset of debate over an issue. For example, all the studies that produced results claiming videogames DID increase violent tendencies. Frankly, I don't think the issue regarding fictional CP has been investigated with enough rigor. In the meantime, I can't help but fail to see a purely logical distinction between fictional depictions of CP and fictional depictions of murder[/quote] They've been doing studies on the effects of Loli for more than 30 years. So much than they've been doing studies on video game violence. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CysticApplepie Actually, it decreases it. Seeing something take place usually decreases chances of someone committing it, whilst lack of fulfilment to said desires tends to leave one wanting more of what they can't have. Banning guns in UK and some parts of the USA actually lead to an increase of homicides by at least 40-70%. Edit: [url=http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp]Source[/url][/quote] Gun control is quite different than this. So I don't see how this relates. Access to guns is a deterrent for someone wanting to attack a person. Banning guns removes that deterrent leading to an increase in attacks. That's logical and I don't see how it relates to loli and -blam!- desire. [Edited on 07.06.2011 8:18 AM PDT]
