I really can't see how video games can promote violence. There was talk that the kids responsible for the columbine shootings were addicted to DOOM. But let us not forget that they also liked to bowl. Should we then also blame the PBA for teaching kids how to kill people? They are not even related. If a child has the audacity to try something on a video game and the parents don't do something about it for whatever reason, (work, other children, ect.....) then the parents should watch what they buy. Also I think that it is our culture that is also to blame. When we take the stance - LET US NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS INSTEAD BLAME THEM ON OTHERS AND SHRIEK OUR DUTIES, bad things are bound to happen.
It is in my opinon that humans are in charge of their own actions, not a computer in charge of our destiny.....
I have never taken any anger out on anyone, and I play games all the time.
