Pfft, firstly you are not mature enough to make those decisions - it has been proven beyond doubt that violent content in video games leads to violent criminal behaviour especially in people of your age (I can point you to plenty of studies showing this to be true).

Furthermore, it's your mother's right to choose what you have access to and what you don't - you can disagree with it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not "your right" at all.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

OBJECTION!!!!

Nope No studies have actually proven that at all.Video games decrease violents because it gives an outlet for that person.

Here are a couple of studies that say your wrong

Academic studies seem contrary (usually indicating a complex picture). For example, here is an extensive academic review of published evidence, supporting the view that exposure to violent video games leads to an increase in aggressive behaviour ....

And here is one coming to the opposite conclusion ...

The danger in such situations is that people can choose to quote one side of the story and not the other, which I think we'd all agree would not be good scholarship.

My gut feeling tells me that there is a factor of genetic predisposition which lets people react very differently to such stimuli.

No one has proven playing videogames increases aggressive behavior in real life, on the contrary, playing games has been shown to have medical benefits. For kids it can also help in increasing their creativity and imagination.

By the way I am still curious about what games are out there which are not only sin-free but also supports JWs views.

I think it depends on the parent in question, but JWs are fundamentalists, and take the view that anything that might lead a person astray is better off avoided altogether. They may still have a video on their site where a child is taught to throw away a wizard doll because it represents the use of magic, which is evil. It's not the sort of thing that will get you disfellowshipped, but will almost certainly lead to the occasional lecture and would probably block a person from being promoted to service positions within the organization.

That said, some parents are very strict, others are not. My mother took a dim view of computers in general (until I started making money as an IT tech, at which point she stopped complaining) but with very few exceptions didn't bother me about video games or movies or music.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Contradictory studies about violent video games leading to violence probably just means that different people react differently to things. It's more about the individual than the game itsself.

The third world is proof that you don't need video games to be violent
