That is my two cents 3rd. Awards

The military, particularly pilots, have often said that video gaming has pilots better prepared as they enter into their profession. I just think gaming, violent or not, enhances reaction times and tunes the senses better than watching the Sponge Bob Square Pants or the Muppets. I do not think they make children violent, no more than watching porn makes an adult a rapist.

So much crap that people do go back to upbringing. If kids are taught right from wrong and explained, exposure to many things deemed "harmful", like video games, can be seen as just that - a game (imaginary) and not real life. In games, you can shoot people (and get shot), crash cars & sell drugs (GTA), slice with swords - it's cartoons!! Hell, rocks fell on Wile E. Coyote when we were kids and we knew he couldn't survive in real life. It's entertainment and amusing fun!! Of course, there is an age factor that parents should know - common sense. Talk to your kids!! Awards

Kids know fictional violence in videogames isn't real; professional wrestling has a greater impact because kids will try some of those moves on other kids. On the other hand, children should not be exposed to the sexual perversions (for children) found in some of these games because they are not sufficiently mature to put it in proper context and in that respect, I disagree with the court. Children should not have access to pornography in any form. Awards
