I agree, but they are the ones that bring the good old argument up.

So everyone who thinks that exposure to violence in media makes every single person who watches it a violent person is wrong.

Zach, there is one common thread in all these stories about kids re-enacting their video games or stuff they see on TV: BAD PARENTING.

No like I said, it takes a few effed up kids to begin with. Violence on TV would not be a factor if the parenting was adequate and the kid was OK in the head to begin with.

I do not believe that media can single handedly take a good kid and make him violent. But I do believe even in a case of bad parents exposure to violent media has cause violence in people in children that would not have been there had they never seen it. It just pushes them a little futher IMO.
