- well... video games can be problematic... all of that visual stimulation with
- no real content has a hypnotic/somnolent effect on people... the children
- that have grown up with nintendo are a different species of humanity...
-
- but violence? usually the heavy vid users are so busy playing the games that
- they have no time for violent behavior...
-
- people who kill people and blame video games are just as pathetic as those
- who blame d&d, twinkies, or anything else...
-
- or god...

- other times,
