SoLiDUS to the rescue yet again...

Obviously, everyone has the potential to commit murder... just like they
have the potential to do practically anything they put their minds to insofar
as they encounter no physical or mental limitations because of an initial
defect. This, I would think, is obvious and of little relevance to the topic...

Video games do NOT push individuals to commit crimes: lack of control
does: if videogames didn't exist, I can almost guarantee you that the said
person would still snap and do something crazy after being pushed too far,
having less self-control than others. Also, keep in mind I am not talking
about warranted crimes, ie. forced based on life threats, assaulted by a
group, food theft to help feed family (although these can be debated, they
only serve as a crude example)...

Education also plays a part in this: your set and setting greatly affect your
upbringing but more importantly, your parents have the task of instructing
you; helping you understand what is considered right and wrong by society
in general and the established laws, what thought processes should be kept
in mind when a dire or otherwise challenging situation arises.

Finally, the best proof I can offer that videogames are not the problem is
simply this: the vast majority of gamers do NOT go out and kill, jump on
turles to grab their shells and throw them back at someone else or commit
some other felony/crime.

Most of us have enough self-control and common sense to draw the line
and "behave".
