Seriously, I found it insulting that snotty adults would assume kids aren't intelligent enough to know that murder, shooting, etc. via a video game is completely different than real life. Sure, you'll have a few nut jobs that pop out nutty at birth, but those are already lost souls and the ratio of crime committed by those that played video games religiously as children (and blames it on video games) is really minuscule.
My brothers and I grew up on games, I ended up having no police record, my two siblings the same.. in fact, we are all in decent/respectable jobs. Heck, my son, he started gaming at 3 and I let him play violent games. He's a smart kid with a good heart and knows the difference between right and wrong.
Glad to finally see some polarized info on why games aren't that malicious to a child's well being.
What a bunch of douchebags! What I don't understand is why people would do this during one of America's lowest economic times? They should count their blessings that they're making money and profiting right now, while many others are going under.
Same with the Department of Water and Power here in Los Angeles, what a bunch of pricks. They're proposing a 35% increase over the next few years, even though they profited by billions! What is wrong with these people? Oh, that's right, they're a bunch of heartless leeches.
Yet, you have others like the 99 cent store who understand the value of low pricing to keep customers buying from you. Heck, nobody cried when they raised their prices to 99.99 cents... they knew that the small increase would result in millions over time, while still valuing the customer and loyalty to them.
