I do believe that friend who won't let the 18+ rating pass is having a game developer run against him in the next election.

I've been wanting a cmputer for three years now. So far, maybe it's coming true. I can't think of anything else that expensive right now.
Also, goodnight!

You'd be surprised. I never in my childhood ever remember kids killing each other just to "know what it's like" or kidnapping a baby, shoving batteries up it's orifices and leaving it to be horribly mutilated from the next passing train. Or how I never remember school shootings ever as a kid, and let's not forget bringing weapons to school. If we had a beef with someone, it was "meet in the playground at before school/lunch/after school and we'll fisticuffs it out. Kids aren't becoming monsters, they are just severely lacking in self control and discipline. And that's usually thanks to lazy parents who cave into their every demand because they don't want to deal with a whining kid.

This is quite off-topic, but I just finished up a short presentation on the correlation between violent video games and increased levels of aggression in adolescents. As part of that assignment I looked into youth violence rates to see if the belief that "this generation is much worse than the last" is true.

All the trends show dramatic decreases in violent youth activity over the past 10-15 years. As for claims of being "spoilt", this is rather hypocritical considering that every generation generally experiences higher quality of living as technological improvements make luxuries into commodities. If the data were available I'd imagine what you would see is that the portion of income spent on gifts has remained fairly constant.
