As an avid gamer since my dad first managed a video arcade, to the time I got my first Atari 2400, to the present day, I have to agree that a crusade against violent video games is stupid and missing the real problem issues that cause people to commit violent acts.

However, just to play the devil's advocate, I'd like to bring up a question:

What do they use to train fighter pilots and other armed forces members to be killers? Advanced computer simulations of combat situations...otherwise known as video games. Any corellation there?
