And while I have read some intelligent stuff from you here and elsewhere, I refuse to discuss if your posts always go over two pages and try to cover too many different directions, like the connection to what you call "american" culture, and which I don't think was brought up in a appropriate manner.
So keep it a bit more focussed would you?

It is focussed. But it is unreasonable to isolate games from the cultural setting in which they pop up. You NEED to look at the whole culture. I said earlier that those people saying that games do not cause violance are right and wrong at the same time, you remember? Games today are a greater business than movie business (!), they have become a major part of contemporary culture, no matter if I or others like that or not. - I just objected to your opinion of violant media things, or games, preventing crimes exclusively, and said why I do think that: by pointing out that it works the other way as well. This right to state a different opinion you must grant me as long as I found it by arguments and do not become personally offending.
