Watching the news is worse than playing any video games IMO........Sorry Tex, but video games are an easy target to blame underlying problems on.......If somebody is unstable or unhappy that is enough to lead them to find an answer whether its a realistic solution or a false solution........
Nearly everything on the news nowadays is something horrible.......Everything negative is televised or on the web........From the Great AHH(whatever Bush called the first airstrike in Iraq) to the Twin Towers getting blown up, to the poor girl getting jumped in Florida,US.......These images bring children fear and anxiety 10 times worse than any video game....The kids in poor countries watching their family die from war is worse.........The lack of parenting and social stability are the problems. Social classes is a problem(rich, poor).
Since negativity always ends up getting airtime it gives youth reason to commit crimes to become famous or someone who'll end in the history books. There is so many factors or situations that create violence before a video game will.
I think video games are a little vivid. Being a parent now I wont purposely put violent games into my daughters hands. But ultimately I'm more worried about the real world than what a video game will bring them.
The real world there is people getting killed for know reason, people starving, corrupt governments, corupt corporations, mentally ill minds .
A rich family lives wealthy with money gaining interest in a bank while a poor family barely lives to see another day.
