I agree with him in to a certain extent.Games are not good for young children.Just as children shoudnt watch tv for ages they shoudnt play games for ages either.Children should be outside,learning to cope in a different enviroment and learning how to socialise with others.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that playing God of War or GTA will cause a child to lose his (or her) childhood.

Which is, quite frankly, ridiculous, because it's no worse than sneaking into 18 movies, and much better than having underage sex, binge drinking or taking drugs, which are all a lot more likely to ruin your childhood.

Wait, what am I saying? A ten year old who kills Greek mythical creatures will go out the next day and do adult things.

Your arguments dont mention games being a good thing,instead there are just not as bad as things like binge drinking.I personally think the tv time and computer should be limited so they learn to amuse themselves and socialise with others.However im sure in some cases some people would just go out and start vandalising stuff.
