are violent video games ruining the youth of tomorrow

Well ideally, parents would be able to use good discretion and just limit their kids' games on an individual basis. Doesn't seem to happen, somehow.

Video games don't teach you how to use a gun, but they sure get people used to the concept of shooting people, going for the head, etc. In fact, to play violent games well, that kind of thing has to become a reflex. It becomes an integral part of the problem-solving process when you play, so... you can't really write violent video games off as harmless.


Oh, and there's a ton of other stuff "ruining the youth of tomorrow," anyway. I guess that really means the adults of tomorrow, actually. A lot of the youth of tomorrow are still single-celled.
