News flash I agree with you on some parts, however the correlation between kids playing violent video games and them being more apt to do crime has never been made, yes some video games do desensitize kids, however video games do not influence their values, the same thing was said for rock music in it's early years but that has passed on and it's now laughable which is like video games, video games should be restricted to certain age limits at least the violent one's should, the one's about pokemon don't really matter, however the one's about killing, and any other federal crimes they will commit should be supervised. But as far as saying that playing a character in a game who kills people does not warp kids minds into thinking it's all right for everyday life, they can distinguish between reality and fantasy. All parents have to do is understand the industry and moderate their kids play as they should on computers and everything would be fine, but total and complete shut off from video games is for lack of a better term ignorant.
