So watching blood splattering everywhere in CSI is okay but playing a game isn't? So you get to control everything instead but it really isn't any different from seeing a real life person getting his head cut off. They need to stop blaming games on everything and start bitch slapping the parents to actually teach kids right and wrong rather than have everybody else do it. If they expect everybody else to take care of their kids, they shouldn't have had them.

I hate all the people that think games are to blame for people going crazy and doing stuff. Like you said, it happens in TV shows all the time. With the popularity of doctor and forensic shows right now, just about any time you turn the TV on, there's someone getting cut open or autopsied or something. There's also music. How many rap songs are there about blowing people away and doing drugs and all that crap? How is music any less to blame than games?

Marlie watches all the CSI's and she loves blowing the heads off of zombies in Resident Evil, but she knows it's just a game. These parents who are hiding their kids from this shit are just giving them a reason to want to try it.

Like a friend of Marlie's... his parents shelter him too much. To the point where he once watched someone play a game where you can kill dogs and he had a phase where he kept drawing pictures of dogs getting killed...

Not quite. You  made it nicer than it was. He drew pics of dogs and then pretended to shoot them and then turned the paper over to reveal bloody mutilated dogs. Yeah, sheltering him worked REALLY well. [/sarcasm]

Oh, I forgot that part
