it never ceases to amaze me how ignorant people are, people who obviously know nothing of psychology attribute a positive correlation between violent behavior and playing violent video games as proof that playing such games CAUSES violent behavior. The problem is that they don't even think to consider that people who have violent tendencies could be drawn to violent video games, a much more straight-forward and likely conclusion. Even considering that such games, and this goes for any other media, contribute to a person's behavior, which I personally believe it does although not to such an extent, they can't be driven to commit such violent acts simply by a game, this type of mindset requires years of behavioral programming and if anyone is to be blamed the parents are of the most obvious position.
