Yeah. Not to to restate what may have already been stated, but I've always felt that it's the parents fault. Period. For example, here's one of my stories: I grew up on Duke Nukem. Duke Nukem is a shoot-them-up, blow-it-up, go-see-the-strippers, violent game. Now, my parents have always said that all of this is fake, and violence is bad, but most kid's parents don't. It's the fact that most parents don't even care anymore. My parents would turn on the adult lock on Duke Nukem, which means that the strippers and other sexual things in the game would be invisible. Since parents don't punish there kids anymore for there wrong doings, kids have less respect for them. I'm not saying that parents should go beat their kids with hammers, I'm saying that a spank on the rear end only hurts for a second, lol. But now it's to the point that practically every punishment is illegal by the DSS regulations, so again, kids have less respect.
In conclusion, I'm not a muderer, or a thief, or a wife beater, or anything. I'm your average person living an average life without any violent behavior towards anybody. I'm completely against the violent games ban. It just seems that you can get the same content from movies, and a combination of music and books.
(My friend loved 50 cent, so I listened to one of his songs, and a guy walked up to a girl in the song, started shooting that innocent all while she was screaming, and left. Tell me that doesn't influence the general rap listener.)
