LOL Dipstikk!
I use video games to realease stress. When I was younger I had this game (Jurassic Park if I remember rightly) and whenever I was stress, a few rounds of tearing humans limb from limb a a velociraptor was brilliant, and I could be as evil as I wanted because no one was actually getting hurt. So really, violent video games should reduce kids being violent.
A NYC cop once said that he loved the game GTA and he would encourage kids to play it, he said it was better that kids beat people up and steal cars on a game then do it for real.
Of course there's these people that take things too far and ruin it for the rest of use...look at Dungeons and Dragons for example, the idea was great, it was fun and it made kids use their imagination, but then some people took it too far and mixed up game with reality and ended up commiting suicide thinking they'd get resurrected... Is it just me or is Abe's respawning very similar...funny, no body here thinks they'll come back and be reformed from birds when they die do they?
