You might have jumped at the chance, but i know personally that i wouldn't have wanted to shoot it. But then again one of my best friends would have killed for the chance to shoot it. Which i think just reiterates in a round about way one of their points. That it isn't the video games that cause things, but the individual. | ||

I don't play anything more violent than starcraft on a regular basis, but I definitely don't think a 12 year old should be exposed to something like GTA4. I certainly don't mind laws like this being passed, since they give parents the ability to choose what they expose their kids to, but I don't agree that exposing a 12 year old to GTA4 is all that bad. I watched a lot of R rated movies with my parents when I was pretty young. For example, in 2nd grade I saw Striptease, which led to some strange conversations with other 2nd graders but otherwise didn't cause any problems for me. Despite watching dozens of violent and sexual movies in elementary school, I've only ever been in one fight, and never had discipline problems in school, other than not doing homework. I really don't think being exposed to fictional violence harms children if they're raised properly. | ||

I've written 2 papers on anti-video laws and such last year, and from all my research I've only found that for every study that "shows" violent videogames invoke violent behavior there's another one that says otherwise. | ||
