Your question was direct, and seemed serious enough. On the other hand, wasn't my original statement just a little bit over the top?
And my point seems to have been exactly the same: that what we watch and what we play does NOT shape us nearly as much as what we are taught by those whose job it is to raise us. |
I don't use those stupid smileys enough.
Re your original statement, i suppose but the point is certainly valid. I'm just not sure how any single individuals experience can prove or disprove the theory. Personally i suspect the influence of such games is a lot more subtle that people think.
