And I wouldn’t try. As they will. To a point. Let me explain.
But the weak minded can be strengthened and shown purpose ans responsibility. They are weak for a reason. And for the soulless?
They are soulless. They need neither VGs or Rap music for them to do evil. Any old excuse or none at all is fine. But saying Games et all ‘cause’ X is like saying guns cause violence. All a matter of perspective.
Millions of gamers/metal/rap fans lead peaceful lives.
Things I have seen on my teenager. If I let him play sports games Madden etc..., when it is time to shut down he does it immediately with no argument and moves on to other things and is not moody nor withdrawn. If I have decided to let him play one of the military type games ( and we only get the ones where you cannot kill humans, if that is any better who knows but to me it is ) he gets so engrossed he zones out and when time to shut it off he tends to try and stay on as long as he can. He also becomes moody and pouty the more time we allow on it.
When we remove the xBox totally he becomes engaging, perky, and seeks other interest. Hence we have a timer attached to the power outlet and I set it. Once it is off, he is off. We allow 30 minutes only on war type games and up to 2 hours on a sports game. Total of 10 hours a week no more than 2 in one sitting, period.
Also, we don’t and will never allow any internet connection to play with others.
Point, we can see a definite personality change.
When we go shooting, and we do a lot, he is never in an off mood before during and after. Guns don;t change your personality but video games do when you are young and still developing. A mature adult may not be affected as much, but I still bet there are changes.
