Dr. Phil is what many psychologists define as a crackpot. He has some good ideas sometimes, but please Violent video games to blame? They always forget that correlation does not equal causation. Not to mention I play violent video games all the time and have since I was growing up and I'm calm and collected and don't act out irrational thoughts or imaginery/real world conflicts with violent behavior or deadly actions and I know I am no where near alone in that. Where are the theories on environment factors, nature/nurture, family, friends, societies' role in all of this? I hate when people defuse responsibility from what could be the real causes and instead use the cliche and for that matter moot points.
