I haven't made myself clear, and now I see I've passed a wrong impression.
I have no prejudice against violent games and have played a lot of them (I suck at CS, but it's another story). Real firearms? I've got target practice from pistols to a 12-gauge shotgun, no problem with them.
The point was, Flight Simulator can teach some things that you will possibly use in real life, while violent games are mostly inocuous. They won't teach how to kill or how to handle weapons, nor encourage real violence - unless the player is indeed a psycho, but that's another problem.
Lastly, sorry for the "gratuitous". Shortly before posting, I was playing "Postal 2" ;).
