  Well, it keeps them indoors playing games, and anyone with self-control shouldn't be influenced to try these acts out IRL. But why is it only targeting boys?

    Because menstruation, childbearing and housekeeping keep girls out of trouble, they don't need video games.

  I can vouch for that because videogames not necessarily violent ones kept me out of trouble and viloent games just let me vent whenever I would get pissed off so I thank all videogames for keeping me out of jail.Lol.

  Atleast there is some positive research coming out of things. I had a laugh at the bit saying if girls play 15 hours a week it would be unusual but for boys it is normal.

  Everytime one of these articles comes out another contradicts it, then another contradicts that one and so on and so forth.
  
  Let's just forget the studies about videogames shall we?

  Gah and they need "extensive studies" for this. Heck I've been saying this for years, ever since the first violent FPS came out Doom/Wolf3D ~ 1993-ish
  
  To quote the TF2 sniper:
  
  "GAH! Piss off, you bloody fruit shop owners!"

  Hehe, most of these studies come out saying games with violence in them are bad for children. It does keep them out of trouble because they are playing it instead of getting involved in gangs, drinking, drugs, etc., but what about the long-term effects, and when they can't play the game? I know I've had thoughts of pulling off some moves I saw in video games while bored in a classroom before.

  The games get rid of built up anger because you know you can do whatever without getting in trouble...if there are cops in it, and you get caught, just shut down and reboot the system:)

      _{It doesn't, but it was a joke saying, if violent games don't cause violence than Casual fun games do. I was just having some fun with changing stories.}
