What "orderly fashion"? There is no "orderly fashion" if you don't accept science, experts, credibility, proof, or knowledge.

You know, books can actually be reliable sources of information as well.

What, is that what the "orderly fashion" is for you? Populism? "The majority is always right."?

I didn't say that everybody goes violently insane. They go violently insaner, often in ways that isn't apparent right away, and they last person who can tell whether they have gone violently insane or not, is the person who's gone violently insane. You're not credible, because you can't see how far gone you are.

1. a) Show me how it is scientific that virtual violence makes you violent.
b) Believe it or not, the education system in most countries is totally broken, being more about memorizing useless information and less about having real insight into the topics you are supposedly learning. I said it before and I will say it again: just because you have something that says you know what you're talking about does not mean you really do.

Well, in this case, the information is a scientific study, and even if it's done with dancing monkeys, the burden of proof probably lies on you now. Show me a paper that says that realistic video game violence doesn't desensitize people.

c) Same point.

Oh, that point. I refute it with this point. I mean point c). ...on page 2.

d) So far you have done nothing but tell us where the supposed truth is to be found and telling us to go find it ourselves. Newsflash, that's not how debating works.

Really? Prove it. Prove that debating doesn't work that way, without "telling me where the supposed truth is to be found".

You give me the points you want to use to support your position and I will consider them.

So the formulation that you're looking for is something like "They put a bunch of people to watch video game violence, and then showed that they had become desensitized."?

Don't tell me I should believe it because somebody else told you that someone who may or may not know what they are talking about wrote it down and published it.
e) Knowledge? Come on, now you really need to get off that high horse of yours.

Neighh!

3. I already said I don't advocate argumentum ad populum; did you even read my fucking post?

Then don't argue ad populum.
