Thanks John! That's a fantastic answer. For myself, I don't know
which way to think. I tend to agree with you that today's video
games are too realistic and violent - that it can lead them to
being unable to cope with the Real World because they get sucked
into the fantasy of it that they have trouble forming
relationships with people. Younger kids act out what they see.
too much fantasy viole...nce could lead to real violence later
on. BUT: That being said, I also think that acting out fantasy
violence is okay in a SAFE environment (among family/friends who
can keep an eye on things) like sword fighting, martial arts,
sports (yes, sports is fantasy War), toy guns. I don't really
think there's one right answer to the question - that's why it's
a controversial topic. When mom was a kid, she was into comic
books. Well, the grown-ups of her gene... "
