I don't think all video games promote violence.

It depends on the mindset of the player. If they get too influenced, they will be violent. However, most adults/teens understand that a video game is nothing close to reality. Incidents where video game has promoted violence is very rare. They only get more publicity, thats it.!

Absolutely! Depends on how we take it. As matter of fact, everything in life does! :D

I somehow agree with Styish Executive's post. 15-16+ realize that the scenes in video games don't exist in reality and they shouldn't be taken serious.

But speaking honestly, I played video games like Grand Theft Auto series, Bullworth Academy and those like Medal of Honour at the age of 12-13 At that time I use to think myself as a street gang member in future and doing these tricks. Later I realized that its bad and all but yeah it might provoke someone else to like these things. Some of these games do promote violence like those being produced by Rockstar games.

Yes, GTA SA does contain materials which are not suitable for kids. That's why it has got a "M" rating. ;)

And its really silly that they are pondering over that petty 'hot coffee' thing! ::)
