The irony is my mother is the other type: Very responsible, but ignorant. Luckily that means I don't (mostly) have the genes or upbringing of psychopathy, and so I enjoy entertainment without trying to live it, but unfortunately that means I have no interest in understanding what's so fun about dancing or grapefruits. Yuck!

Basically, the issue of videogame violence is the same as cinema sexuality or violence, comicbooks causing delusions of grandeur, risque novels, and going back forever in civilized society:
Parents without a sense of responsibility (who usually pass this trait down to their spawn) don't want to take the blame, and somebody smart realizes they can be very popular if they can find a "universal" scapegoat. I would tie this example – of mostly unsuccessful scapegoatism – to a popularity contest.

How ambiguous.

Desensitized? Only those with mental problems. Like Jack Thompson. He has one.
Yea that is the bottom line. Parents need to govern their children's activites. Parents need to step up to the role, not government.

Desensitization to violence makes people more likely to NOT panic under pressure. After all, whoever heard of a combat medic who fainted at the sight of blood? If anything, violent video games encourage a Nationalistic point of view -- and that's a good thing! We need that now more than ever. National Revolutionary Vigilantism would solve all of Our Nation's woes. For example, what should we do about the subhuman degenerate internationalist cartels that treat humans like chattel?
Kill 'em all.
