The gist of it is... video games don't cause kids to kill people, they actually prevent it from happening. The theory is, as I understand it from a brief synopsis, is that kids who already have violent tendencies and play violet video games, actually vent their frustrations by playing the games instead of doing it in real life.
Now I just need to find a cooking simulator game so that I don't have to do that in real life either... that would work right?
And because I like quotes, here's one:
The 1999 attack on Columbine High School by two of its students resulted in 15 dead and 24 wounded. The death toll might easily have been over forty times higher. An attempt is made to understand the motivations of the two shooters and to explain the critical events that changed them into mass murders. The history leading up to the attack is reviewed. A theory is proposed wherein virtual reality, as experienced in computer games, can act protectively in allowing the non-violent processing of rage and sexual impulses. However, when implementing time or content restrictions, caution is warranted. If such constraints are too blunt, too dismissive, or too contemptuous, one might provoke a potentially dangerous crisis.
