i dont know why people think violence effects us.
people who saw they did something because of video games is simply something they say to make them not seem so bad.
its a stereotype and it always will be.

I agree. Who's gona go out and kill someone just becuz they did it on a game?

I'd tend to see the current flavor of videogames (violent or otherwise) as a symptom, not a root cause. Games are like this because there's a demand for them, and because the industry is slow to change.

Things are changing though. I just don't know if the change will be deep enough.
