Yes, It has been shown that 90% of American prisoners have both antisocial disorder and are video game addicts.

I'm pretty sure an equal number of them lift weights, does that mean that lifting weights makes you violent as well?

I believe that they don't lead to it.. but some games make over the top violance and gore to be trivial.

I'm talking of games like ninja gaiden  where every hit you make chops a limb.

This is extended to movies in the likes of SAW.... i really think it's wrong and should be banned for promoting mental instability in the population... (well banned from posters and theaters at least... do what you want with DVDs, as long as I don't have to see exctracts of it...)

No, it doesn't lead to violence but games like Boom Blox have lead to trolling by VGChartz members that shall not be named.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

No, after they quit the balls shrink and they are like castrated puppies, even tempered, they quit gaming altogether and violence ends.

If you know as much about correlation bewteen videogames and violence as you do about steroid use (and abuse) and training, I think I'll take your initial statement with a grain of salt.
