The effect of violent video games?
Many people protest the production of violent video games. They say that's the cause of such massacres like Columbine, but do they really? I agree it definitely doesn't help. It may give them ideas of terrible things to do. But those sick individuals who do those things are most likely thinking about doing them before they play a video game.
Some games have been copy-cated which would point the finger to the games developers. But instead couldn't it be seen as laziness on the criminal's part. They didn't have enough energy or intelligence to come up with there own plan. Even though playing violent video games isn't good for a constant 5 hours, I don't think it's too harmful every once in awhile.
So would it stop world crime rates dead in there tracks to end production of violent video games? I'm going to say, probably not. It might bring down the aggression level in some people, but it's not going to stop violence and murder.
Is the phrase "Boys will be boys" correct in it's thinking? When I was younger the first violent video game I played was when I was about 12. Before that I had never heard of video games, let alone violent ones. I thought it was so cool though. I got to be a ninja and go around round-house kicking the bad guys for as long as I wanted. I think video games are actually good for young guys to be playing. Especially of they live out in the country like I did.
There was absolutely nothing to do when I was younger. So me and my friends had to keep ourselves busy out in the rattle snake infested fields of the west desert. Before the whole idea of violent video games was even introduced to us we would play cowboys and Indians and others such games with cap guns and occasionally even our fists.
So boys will be boys. After video games really got popular where I lived we stopped beating each other up and beating up fake figures on the TV screen. Little boys are going to have violent feelings frequently during there youth and there's not much that can be changed about that.

I guess I've never looked at it that way before...I've never been a fan of video games myself, but I suppose that's just because I can't sit still (and not be active) for that long. I don't support violent video games by any means, but I suppose that fake figure on the tv are a better outlet for violence than real people. =D You can keep playing yoru violent video games. =D
Even the “Oh-so-Wise” Jate Nellen was a violent youth. Marie said Nate was probably the kid who tried to stop fights saying "Isn't there diplomatic solution we could discuss together to attain world peace?" No way! Nate was soooo into paint balling when he was younger! He was just as violent as any little boy. Kind of funny ha?
That is pretty funny...I can just see a miniature Nate talking about how diplomatic paintballing was as he ran down the street wildly dodging flying ammunition and shooting some over his shoulder at masked pursuers. =D That makes me laugh.
