News flash, not.

Wait til we assemble a team of researchers from MIT, to study if the fact tat the earth orbits the sun really makes people anti-religious.

Blame video games, blame foreigners, blame the governement, blame the school, blame the weather...just please don't point the finger at bad parenting, that's taboo.

more like sparring

yes and no...If the kids were not violent it will not make them more violent but it will blind them to violence happening around them....

But more aggressive kids who need help are just being fed more aggression...and those are the psychotic killers...

Kids need to be taught good outlets for their feelings... talking not just fraging

Personally I play fps...and yes with TS it is a very social activity...and for the males I have to say its not about the killing your friends...its about killing more than your friends....male competition plain and simple.

You missed the part about those that don't play games....

You missed the part of the study/book that mentions the kids to be concerned about are those that do not play any violent games. Those seem to be the abnormal ones, like the VT killer who specifically said he doesn't like playing those type of games. The book was pretty clear about that being the big touch point, whereas you focus on the typical view. It wou;d've been nice had you focused on the truly surprising parts of their writing.

But then I guess the "it's always the 'quiet' ones" attitude never tweaks the kneejerk response of 'Concerned Parents for a Better Whatever' crowd.
