In a sense of course, the answer would to be simply as stated: No. The reason for this being that I am an actual gamer and being the realist that I am, I have realized that all the violence in videogames could not have been possible without the violence within society. While Jack Thompson does have a few points in saying that videogames CAN be dangerous, he is completely without reason in saying that videogames need to be banned and all of them cause violence within todays society. So while society is to blame, who is to take a fair share of the blame as well? The answer being this; parents. If a child becomes violent because of a videogame it is not because of the game, but because of the lack of parenting the child has had and the teaching of the difference between reality and fantasy. I grew up playing videogames and I have played all, from the rating to E to M and beyond, I have become far more intellectual because of games, but that is just me, not you. Do any of you agree with me
