Firstly.....IT'S COMPUTER GAMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT Video games. The main reason young people are unstable and kill themselves or kill others ?? A bad upbringing without the proper "facts of life" drilled into them BY THEIR PARENTS. Parents are the factor here, NOT the games. I was brought up in a loving home, went to Church and Sunday school, went to a religious school (not that it did much for me), had and still have great friends, all the while watching violent movies and playing violent games and going down to the gun range with my Dad too pop a few rounds into paper targets. Am I a murdering psycho bastard ?? Hell no.

The upbringing of an individual is the major contributing factor in a person life further down the track. Brought up in a violent family, you'll more than likely (unfortunately) continue on that path of violence, ofcourse some do grow up to be responsible and caring people who wouldnt hurt a fly.

I'm glad the psychologists, as somebody said, were not pointing the blame solely on gaming as the basis for violent crimes, as it is just not true. Parents with bad children wil always try and find a scapegoat, unfortunately they are stupid and pigheaded enough to point the blame on games and the gaming industry. Shame on them.
