video game produces violence...

[fritoman]

my brother in laws son cant play CS because when he did after he was done playing it he would lash out at his sister, sometimes hitting her and be very aggressive toward her, so they made him stop playing and the aggression "for the most part" stopped. I think people are affected in different ways by different stimuli, and we cant say how one is going to be affected over another, I know Im not going to be to popular in saying this but I believe that in some kids these type of video games DO incite violance, but I believe that it is the parents JOB to make sure that there childern are not affected in an adverse manner, "like my bro in law did with his kid" any type of violance in our day and age can be taken to the extreme by children and that is where the parents come in.

p.s. when Josh starts yelling at the computer screen because something happened that he dosent like, I make him stop playing.

also when the kids says they got the idea from a video game I concider that pretty damning evidence, I dont think they thought they would not get in trouble if they blamed the video game, and this isnt the first time kids have done things that seem like they are straght out of a video game, "the school shootings in Germany, "the kids favorite game was CS" the Columbine shootings "cant remember what game they played" with out research, but it was like CS, and this one we are talking about, and there have been more.
