do you think the 9/11 bombers watched violent video games? i can say that i'm a violent person. that being said, i'm like most other males and find proper outlets for my violence. i play violent video games :), i get outdoors and the ultimate for me in blowing off my "violent nature" is playing paintball. nothing better to get rid of my aggression by spraying my opponents with paint. does that mean that i will eventually run around with an automatic weapon and spray lead at the local mall? no. to me, that's ridiculous and i'm sure that's ridiculous to most people. everyone has the ability to be deadly violent, but most of us have internal mental limiters that prevent us from harming our bosses, spouses and the morons who seem to populate our lives. could you kill someone in order to protect your life? would you kill to protect another? perhaps. more than likely you would say yes, but most people would hesitate at the moment of truth. people who kill don't have that mental limiter and don't hesitate at all. the killing tree usually goes as follows: GOD, country, family, friends, strangers. what does this mean? what would a person most kill for? people kill for GOD. crusades/jihad. people kill for country. our own soldiers do it for us. (do not take this as a criticism of our troops. they do the job that most can't/won't do.) i'd kill to protect my family. in these examples, there is a purpose in the violence. people who kill over viewing violence in video games? please. it's just an excuse for damaged minds.
