Don't think it's all the truth. If a person struggles with identifying the line between fiction and reality, then can't it be assumed that they could be influenced negatively by books, movies, and toys. The problems aren't the games, the problems is how children are being raised by communities. Parents and community leaders should take more responsibility in providing adequate descretion for right and wrong.

I had the smart idea of showing this to my mother and she confiscated all my little brother's violent video games.

I like the poem but I have to defend video games. My sister has been playing violent games her whole life and now she makes over 100,000 dollars. I play them and I have never wanted to kill anyone. A game us a game, I know it's not real. I know u don't get a second chance in life like u would in a game. It's just a way to stay out the street and still have fun.

well written, but I mean the majority of trained solders in their first battle fire up so they dont hit people or dont fire at all... Kinda shows that the empirical, and logical evidence shows that this idea is pure bullshit.
