Do Brutal Video Games make people violent?

[Kewlz]

Are you a parent? What is your basis to form this opinion?

1. I played games all my life.
2. I owned a video game retail store for 10 years selling to tens of thousands of customers.
3. I'm the father of 4 children.

Do violent games make kids violent?

YES.

But I'm not against violent games. I'm against bad parents and ignorance. I know of few parents that actually restrict what their children do.

That answer was just limited to me.



Here's your answer.

No, I'm not a parent, I'm just 18 years old now.

On topic:
It actually depends on the mental condition of the child, how strong is he from inside, how easily can he get influenced. How much time he spends playing those games.

I've been playing counter strike for 4-5 years now. I don't think, I'm getting violent because of that.
But it obviously differs from person to person.

I can say Watching WWE made me violent, when I was like 12 I hit a guy with Pedigree influenced from Triple H. If I started getting mad over something I would hit my friends with finishers, as I was stronger and healthier than them.

As I said it depends on children, I remember when I was small I saw in news that a guy kid jumped from terrace of a building saying "Shaktimaan"(Indian Super Hero) would save him.
