There was some solid research done on the topics of video games, movies and energy drinks being linked with violence and the out come was nil, no effect, Americans are just violent. Our good neighbors in Canada play the same games, drink the same drinks and watch the same movies and don't go out and blow each other away. I currently live in Asia and I have never seen more disciplined, courteous and respectful children and teens and they play the same games, drink the same drinks and watch the same movies some even more violent so, it 's a load of crap designed to point the finger at someone other that the parents and the society just like everything today people just no longer have a sense of personal accountability it must be someone else's fault my child is a moron.
