    I always thought the anti-video game people had it backwards. Video games don't bring violence to us, we bring violence to video games.

    Think on your early childhood, before you played them. The games were all cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, war games, spy games, and things like that. A vast majority of my time was spent playing them, as well as the more traditional non-violent girl pasttimes like my dolls, ponies, house, and the like. And both genders of my freinds played in both camps. *shrugs* We all liked the excitement of the violence more than the calmer pasttimes a bit, I think.
