Comment a teenagers view (Score 1) 31
As one of the people that would be affected by the bill in question( or at least I would if I lived in CT) I feel the need to post some semblance of a response.
Personaly I find the type of games in question to be somewhat stress relieving. I can take my mind off of things by letting myself go and relying on reflexes. This is something that is found in very few other game types. Could we do without these games? Of course we could. But that does not mean we should remove them for the reasons set forth at the current time. Personaly I do not think that shooter type games have desensitized me. Perhaps society as a whole as done that, but no one thing could do it alone.
I also do not think that teenagers are affected by these games anymore than young adults are, contrary to popular belief. I do think small children, on the other hand, are. But at that stage of their life it is their parents responsibilty to monitor them.
