Well I remember there was a mass of contrary research to the idea that smoking caused cancer too. How much of your research is funded by media and game companies? It's obvious the media is promoting violence among our youth and like in the tobacco wars there is a growing body of evidence to prove it.
As for your implication that I want to "destroy the first amendment" nothing could be farther from the truth. I only use it as an example of how easy it is to rationalize our way out of essential liberties.
I like my violent movies and video games too, but I'm a 53 year old man who doesn't have the inclination or time to become totally absorbed by it like a kid will. I see nothing wrong with limiting under 18 access to them though. No way should the graphic violence like what is in Batman the Dark Knight for example be considered a PG-
13 rated movie.
