In Response To: Found a very ignorant article (Anonymous)

--Sorry if this is a double post, as I gotten a connection error or something...here I go.. again--

(from the article:)
"More than nine of every 10 American children play video games."

So, is there half a child out there somewhere playing a video game? Poor lil' fella.

Ah yes, another post in which I have nothing to contribute.
Oh wait, here it is..

"Second, these games are not movies. Nor are they spectator games."

Underplaying violence in movies, eh?
There's something to be said for desensitization from movies, which unlike most video games use real people in their scences of explicit violence. And don't forget, in violent movies these scence usually depict expoential amounts of people dying at once. Anyone see Kill Bill? Urgh. I'm willing to bet that movies probably play an equal role in this sort of thing.

-Outlaw-hero says "I can't solve my problem through the law, so I got to take it into my own hands..(loads gun)"
--Viewers (whom have a wraped view of reality) hear "Results are faster when I act implusivly!(loads two guns)"

There's my 20 cents.
