While I'm still skeptical, I'm willing to give leeway or benefit of doubt with those claims about prolonged exposure to violent games. I myself actually feel that I might have an inner 'violent' tendency which I guess originated from Mortal Kombat I played since a kid (because otherwise, I'm quite the pacifist! and seriously, I wonder what went on in my parents' mind when they gave me that game as birthday present). However, what I don't like is the masses then tends to blame these games so over the top as if it's the sole cause and as if banning them is the only and correct solution. I guess it's similar to what happens with guns.
