Hello, i just want to say that video games are not influential on teenagers. My friends and i all play video games, it's my main hobby. Well i don't think we act different from anyone else, were completely normal people.
thank you

well i just want to say your assumption is wrong again, i help people in my free time more than most people, i frequently attend church and I'm a Boy scout and i am very respected in my troop. I've volunteered at nursing homes and the salvation army.

you see some people make me so mad, his document is a big file so ill post it only if you guys want me to, but i think hes wrong about his reasons there.
in his essay he states that "young people brought weapons to school for 300 years to hunt food for their family after school, but never turned weapons on each other" well what else has been created in the past three hundred years? lets see, television which is full of violence, movies, families aren't as close as they were 300 years ago also.
what jack is doing is finding a scapegoat for crimes that young people have committed, video games, which i agree could be part of it. but do a little studying and you will notice there are so many things that could make us violent nowadays its not funny. you cant blame it on one thing, its the way we live now, and the way society has changed, not entertainment.
