"Violent video games provide positive reinforcement to elicit violence in Life"

[paulpablo]

You can argue back and forth and make vague statements about this topic all day long and come to no conclusions on the basis of these vague remarks.

There's probably been teenagers who have killed purely based on being easily led into doing things and playing a violent computer game that influenced them on the other hand that isn't usually what happens.

The bottom line, I would say, is that the government shouldn't be involved because the government shouldn't raise children that should be the parental figure's job.

Realistically that's what it comes down to anyway, the amount of 15 and 18 rated films I watched when I was about 9 are quite a lot.

The strange thing is that of all the horrible things I've seen in films and computer games, the scene that disturbs me the most probably and I was thinking about it today, is the scene in home alone 2 where the criminal gets bricks continually thrown at his head from a tall building.
As a kid I remember thinking why is everyone laughing at this guy who's getting his skull crushed by blow after blow of rocks being thrown at him.  I watched it again today to see if it was any less disturbing and I still find it disturbing.  
And I've sat through casino, nightmare on elm street, real life snuff films and all sorts.  I suppose when you sit down and watch those things you expect graphic violence whereas when I was very young and watching this kids film I wasn't mentally prepared to see a guy getting bricks thrown at his skull.
