Take away a toy of any type from most young people, mentally ill or not, and you will get a negative reaction.

Becoming conditioned to violence due to the content of the games I say is unrealistic as even my mentally ill brother could understand the difference between a video game and reality.

But, again, different people can react to stimuli in different ways. Allowing my brother to watch a movie like Natural Born Killers would be a very bad thing, and we knew better.

“Allowing my brother to watch a movie like Natural Born Killers would be a very bad thing, and we knew better.”

Allowing anyone to watch a movie like Natural Born Killers is a very bad thing. A society that is entertained by this kind of trash is headed for disaster. You can argue that not everyone who sees violent movies or plays violent video games goes on a rampage. Not even half of the people who are “entertained” by same commit violent crimes. Maybe only a half of one percent might be so affected, but that is all it takes to have a Sandy Hook incident. It only takes one person so affected to create misery for an entire population. These forms of entertainment have absolutely no redeeming value. They may not cause everyone who participates to behave badly, but it is enough that they may cause just one person to behave as these shooters have.
