Yes I do think violent games should be banned. The reason why I say that violent video games should be banned is because they are meant for adults, not children. It is impossible for the game creators to enforce their M rated games just like "PORN". I have witnessed children playing children's games one second, and ending up on a porn site with a few clicks on the mouse. So the argument of "it needs to be held up like porn" is out of the question. In today's society, adults are too busy doing their own things and don't have the time to monitor their children, leaving them to develop on their own. Youtube has plenty of examples of children raging which does affect them. My nephew, for example, lived with his mother in the city. Away from any relatives who could take care of him. His mother would work long hours and wasn't there most of the time. The babysitter she had wasn't there to develop the child like a parent would have. My nephew, feeling alone would turn to his attention to fighting games to pass the time. My brother finally got custody of him after a few years. He was different from the other children. I, his own uncle would try to talk with him. He would shy away and make creature noises from the games he had been playing, how odd is that. In school he would hit other children, and when he was asked why he did it, his response was, "he was bothering me". Nobody taught him to react that way. It took a few years to break him out of that mentality. He's fine now and is also a very good hockey player, now put that in your so called government studies. Ban away.

Laziness is not a valid reason to ban something.

And just why is violence bad? Some of the most noble acts in history have been violent? Why do we coddle children and want to keep them from violence? It is a violent world and they will possibly have to kill some day. All this fear mongering does is create a stigma in the minds of people who reluctantly use violence, telling that they should have allowed themselves to be a victim so some pseudointellectual moral pundit can stick their nose in the air and feel better than someone else.
>>6 There is a sweet spot of exposing your kid to violence. Too much and he'll turn into some psychopath. Too little and he'll turn into a little faggot like me.
>>7 Correction: Unchecked violence is for niggers.
