I will.
For the record, it's not true.
Me too. It's utter nonsense. It's called "blame-shifting"; "it wasn't their fault! They were influenced by the evil pedagogical influence of those EVIL VIDEA GAMES!". Sure, most Video games may not be teaching kids very much useful information, but the parents that pull that type of crap are worse because they are teaching those kids that they can shirk responsibility and try to blame somebody else. It's the same mindset that brings up rapists who blame their victims for being a tease or being too pretty or other nonsense.
Additionally, let's pretend that Video Games do create murders and psychopaths (obviously, we'll need to ignore the thousands upon of thousands of years of murders and psychopaths that existed before video games, but we're trying to create a reassuring litany here, not look for facts). You really think that little murdering Timmy that played grand theft auto just decided one day to pull a columbine or whatever? No, Maybe, instead of sleeping all day and drawing welfare or ignoring their kids the parent's who are
responsible for their children should actually be paying attention to them. You know that time little Timmy used a hacksaw to torture rats and ripped the wings off of flies and started boiling cats alive? That wasn't "cute" it was a warning sign that this kid was getting SCREWED UP IN THE HEAD. And I might add that these types of screwed up psychopaths not only existed long before video games (as I noted) but are merely taking their evil ideas from them. That sounds bad, but it's no different than it would be with movies, or really any other form of media. *censored*- one could consider the news just as harmful to such people since they learn how other people of a similar mindset do it.
