I was violent WAY before I started playing video games..

Parents, rent the f@rking games and if you don't like them, return them. Simple as that. Sheesh - it's not like all the games out there are NAZI ZOMBIE BLOODBATH GOREFEST VIII.

Government has no business telling adults what we may or may not view. It's an insult to our intelligence.

The problem is Kids playiong Video games period instead of going outside and playing sports and what not. Not only are they more violent, they are becoming obese and have little or no social skills what so ever. Of course that's up to the parents to decide, not the government.

This kind of issue is where I tend to agree with the ideals of personal responsibility. If your kid goes off his rocker, it's something in the way you raised them, or some medical/pyschological problem. It's not that they played a game that enticed them to act out. Even if the game enticed them to act out. They developed the problem that they are acting out long before the game 'told' them to do so.

If you're asking me that's not just a problem with kids. 😛

The opponents cite new research that they say suggests strong links between violent games and aggressive behavior.

uuuu no one even thinks that violent people search for violent games

This one of the reasons I hated Lieberman who wanted to censor violent games. Him and Gore were shooting themselves in foot for the MTV generation.
