A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook. She wasn't making a statement; she was just sharing. But, I just had a problem re-posting on Facebook because I just don't use it for that kind of stuff. So, I thought this was the best place to share it.
The access that children have to violent video games may be more detrimental to our well-being than I previously expected. While I find it irresponsible for video game makers to create the violent video games that so many teenagers play, I do believe that it is their Constitutional right to do so. I, personally, blame parents for allowing their children access to this material. It is they who perpetuate the market because if they did not allow their children to buy/play these game, the makers would cease making them. I must say that I really have no concept of how realistic the games are because I have never played them (or seen them played, for that matter). But, this article brings up a very good point from a very good perspective. I think it's worth reading and sharing. (Be sure you read to the actual blog post. He does some explaining in the first couple of paragraphs.)
