It's me or the game...

That's kind of my mindset when it comes to playing violent video games... pick one. Me...or the game. Now I promise I'm not a controlling, psycho freak like that statement makes me sound. Okay, well maybe I am. But for completely different reasons. Just hear me out for a second. These games are REWARDING people to kill, steal and destroy...um...that's okay, why? I don't think it is. You look at all of these scientific studies done that prove that it effects a person's brain and thinking...yet we try to justify it as being acceptable? Not to mention all of the theft, sex and drugs that also happen in these video games. My heart breaks for the young kids whose parent's don't see the problem with these games. Yes, many, MANY people play these games and lead very normal, successful lives. But what if your child was the one child whose brain processed these games in the wrong way. And it DID lead them to commit a heinous crime. Or change the way they view violence. Why risk it? There is no good reason to.
