I agree with Stonekid, just because you play viloent video games doesn't mean that will be translated to reality. I mean kids play Grand Theft Auto all the time and if that theory was true wouldnt there be a very sharp increase in crime every year.
I get what you're saying, I thnk. Does age matter? Do violent video games impact people different depending on their age. For example, you might be able to identify the subject matter as fiction, but I four-year-old could believe the subject matter is quite real and/or acceptable. -QE
I see your point but I dont think the parents of the four year old would allow him/her to play those types of games. Therefore I belive that that a four year old would not do those things.-RRNRD
RRNRD I think what Quinn is trying to get at is not necessarily specifically about the four year old age group. I think more what he's trying to say is that younger kids are more likely to not be able to decipher whether something is real/allowed or false. -HQ
