I agree with them this is Bullshit.

Videogames does not cause any more violence then any other thing out there.

If your child doesn't know the difference from reality/Fantasy then there is something wrong (mentally) with the child or parent(s).

Penn and Teller kick ass. Sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't, But it's always fun to watch.

That was a funny watch.

On the subject of this I think it'd be kind of hard to regulate this kind of stuff. I do believe video games can in some ways influence behavior of an individual, and childeren will be subject to that faster then adults, but video games are NOT the cause of violence. That's just blaming something outside of our own control if you ask me. It's the responsibility of the parents to know what's good for your kids.

I´ve mention it before, but this ENTIRE debate is as old as ancient Greece.

We have a manuscript where either Homer or another guy like him mentions the potentially harmful effect of violent theater plays.

In more modern times both movies and comics have gotten their fair share of blame for corrupting the kids minds.
I think that was one of the things that actually brought the golden age of comics to an end a lawyer (or someone like that) claimed that the comics where harmful for kids and started a larger uprising against comicbooks.

So if history teaches us anything it is that there will always ALWAYS be some parents that are willing to put the blame of kids actions on games and other stuff rather then accepting responsibility themselves.

Simply to me, its perfectly understandable where the adults get it. Every generation from the now videogame, but before there were controverses on music and comics. I think it simple to say either its a deep unrelenting psychosis of the generations id that is trying to mind...... well, I am trying not to swear, but well tryin to screw with you. If they cannot find a fall for the divorcing, home value decline, and just the basic absentism of the adults into knowing what there 7 year old child is playing.
