Violence in vidya games? Making me (or anyone else in my age group) stupid and violent? NAW.
It all comes down to what thier parents taught them about maturity in older social situations. I have, and now me and my mom like to run people over repeatedly in GTA.
I can curse whenever I want when company isn't here and when my little imp of a sister is asleep. I can stay up late and watch adult swim, and various late-night shows on comedy central (the roast of william shatner was awesome). I can pretty much do every harmless thing an adult does, so long as I don't mention it in public to people who would be offended. And it's not like they would suspect me for terrorism or anything, because I'm just too calm for that. Plus, I can get away with anything concerning an adult as the authority: Use big words, say that you mean it in all respect, refer to them as sir or ma'm, and let them know you mean it in all truths (even though it really is an exuse). If they still don't believe you, look into thier eyes and don't glance to the side, and don't blink. It took a lot of practice, but I don't like to use it on easily dicovered lies. Not only is it not noble, but then they won't trust me. EVER.
It all comes down to maturity and the way parents taught them not to copy every single thing we see.
If I was that stupid and immmature, I would be flaming everybody here who hated all the games and bands that I like, as well as anybody who liked pie (cake rulz by the way), and I wouldn't be giving my spartan suit to my dad when I turn 16. I'd be keeping it, and the power suit, and i would probably go out running people over while wearing it, shouting "NOOBZ! YOU SUCZORZ AT DODGING MY MIGHTY INVINCIBLE CAR OF DEATHNESS!!! FEEL THE WRATH OF HALO!!!" THe only immature fan-girl thing I would do is to paint the suit black, and do the halo theme on electric guitar when I went to school. Even then, I'm still doing the blueprints.
The only violent thing I like (or would like) to do, it to torture a furby. And then ressurect it, and hook it up to an atari contoller to make it do the crazy frog dance, and then kill it again because it started clicking like the grudge.
