    To update what I said earlier about it being the parents' fault... I'm not entirely sure. I think it's a combination of many things... if the parents let them play those games knowing for sure that the kids are easily influenced, the parents are to blame, but then there are games like AA where they obviously knew it would be powerful, or else they wouldn't have made it. I used to play that, and even as an young adult I found myself longing to be a part of it in real life. Not that that i'm saying it is bad for everyone, but I think I could have ended up like Gomer Pile in Full Metal Jacket. I feel lucky that I was just barely too scared of the social part to join.

    Things like this are so hard to figure out. I think open anonymous discussion is the only way to get anywhere near an intelligent conclusion individually... "Out of Many, One" :)
