It's just too enjoyable, and if there's an idea more heinous than three senses flooded with misanthropic filth, it's the idea of missing out on a video game that's actually fun to play. I agree because when I played a violent video game when I was a teenager, I didn't play it because of the violence. I've played violent video games because of the graphics and sound, and they were just incredibly entertaining.

If parents simply stop blaming violent video games and raise their children with restrictions on violent video games, only then will they see the truth. People are responsible for their actions. Schools and churches teach right and wrong, so I see there is no blame on violent video games, because they should know that what we see in violent video games is wrong and illegal and should not react in the real world or in public.
