Do Violent Video Games actually make people Violent?

I also believe that apathy contributes to the problem of parenting these days.

It seems as though parents are either uninspired or just lack the desire to teach their children certain things, but it also seems that when they do make an effort, it's half-assed.

I'm just referring to the majority, not every parent on earth.

Well, I'm sure if people thought video games would make you into a psycho path raper and beating sluts up for money,
they wouldn't make video games

Cooking games don't make me a better cook, football games don' make me a better football player,
so why would GTA IV make me a car thief?

that is a really good point.

there's no evidence saying that they do.

Supposedly, there is.

I don't play GTA or COD before but from my experience from my friends that tend to play COD, I'll say that he gets in trouble all the time. At times he throw punches because someone called him a "Level 1". I really feel like the violent games are in the bad side of life.
