A well educated person, will understand that violent games are outright fiction and that that stuff should not be even thought of doing in real life.

OTOH, for a crap-minded teenager (who are not uncommon today), a violent game will definitely be, if not directly a bad influence, at least an encouragement to do what he was already thinking of doing]]>Jan 26th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/
And there is the real issue, there is a rating system. Most stores don't carry games that don't have them and I don't know of any store that would sell a game with a "mature" warning on it to a small child. For all the complaints I hear about this I never once have run into one of the many panic stricken parents and found that they actually had a clue what the game was about, the genre, or, dun dun dun, what it was rated.

I'm not saying everything in games is fantastic good times, and some things are just morally wrong. But I do find more fault with parents and politicians that want to go after something in order to look tougher than they are or look more involved as a parent than they are.]]>Jan 27th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/Feb 2nd 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=1421576]]>Jun 26th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/Oct 23rd 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/school-shootings-not-caused-by-violent-games-study-says/Apr 21st 2010 7:36PM
