That may very well be true. However, if you truely think the game has that much of an impact on people to where they do that, then one can easily say that the car games on PS2 can lead individuals to carelessly drive into other people vehicles and think nothings wrong with it because they did it on the game. Should we then ban every movie/game that shows any type of violence for fear that it might cause someone to actually do those things?
The fact is this-
There will always be crazy people out there who do crazy things. The parents,lawyers and politicians of today then blame things such as video games and movies for "making" these indivduals commit these acts. If someone is surrounded by rascism or other acts of violence then it is reasonable to believe that they think it's alright and see nothing wrong with it. However, as I said earlier, someone had to allow them to watch those movies and play those games. If their an adult, someone has to be teaching them. Those sorts of things do not come with you into this world.
*Note*----This is the same for Homosexuality......
People are not BORN GAY!
