Every serious study has shown that games almost always provide a positive impact, I get so tired of these campaigns, they clearly have no understanding of how people interact with them. Fortunately it's a generational thing and in 50 years, people talking about banning computer games will look the same as banning that "Rock n' Roll" music.

Spot on Quantum mate!
It's annoying that people think must be the game. It's mostly people who have never picked up a game in their life I bet you, and don't no fekk all about them.
It's never the person doing the crime its the game. Easier to blame imo thats why the blame is there.

Other than a loss of deference (which is arguably due to the Thatcher government) there's no massive change in the way society functions post-WWII. They've been talking about the downfall of society because of the decadence of the youth since the 60s (and in America since the 50s). Even pre-20th century there's much evidence to suggest that the older generation were worried the younger generation had lost all decency, morality and respect. Also statistically speaking youth crime is historically low levels, but reporting of it is at historically high levels.
