That's a centuries old problem with people. On the subject of video games, my parents and I never got into too many arguements on the subject, fortunately. However, what I've seen on the news and read sickens me. Games are not that different from books and both can stimulate and train the mind. Heck, some games have so much dialogue and text, it is just like reading a book. I've never experienced anything negative from gaming and I'm sure that's the same for all of you. As far as I'm concerned with those shootings, etc. it was neglectant parents more than anything. Though as long as people dwell on the negative and remain close-minded, then the truth can never really be heard.
