Haha alright.  Surely you see my point, though.  That lassoing people or climbing old bell towers and jumping into hay carts aren't exactly things people realistically do nowadays, even if there were any correlation between playing video games and people walking into a school and shooting children.

Yah :) But I agree that excessive violence and sex in video games is an issue in general, your point made me smile.

Yeah, for sure.  I think that basically, bad parenting is an issue.  Letting eight year-olds play Black Ops II over voice chat against people in their 20's shouting profanities and getting pleasure from making head-shots.  With the parental controls built-in to every device that plays video games, there is little room for excuses.  Parents need to not buy kids M-rated games if the kids are too young to know the difference or if they exhibit signs of aggression.
