Article: Violent Video Games Make YOung Men smoke Pot

I bet they just found a correlation between playing violent games and smoking weed, then misinterpreted the statistics, saying that factor A caused factor B without any proof. It's easy to find correlations like that, but it's much harder to prove causality. I'm guessing the statistics mean something else entirely. Like, for instance, it could be the case that people who listen to their uptight parents when they say violent video games are bad also listen to them when they say weed is bad. Or that people who smoke weed don't want to waste their high on lame-ass video games where you don't blow shit up. Statistical correlations mean nothing in and of themselves. Causality is everything.

I'd say it is more of a Factor B causes Factor A :thumbsup: Who doesn't like playing video games high? :dance:
