But doesn't it make "some" of you mad that the general public blames "acts of violence and crime" on video games, music, movies and other forms of media
Yes, it makes me mad - it's always easier to point out that someone/something is to blame than recapitulating what one's own part was in this.
Kej/Bean/Egin - I agree with you fully, that parents have the first responsibility - do you know a way to make some of them see this? Can you think up of a solution to motivate some of them to take interest in what their kids are doing/playing/watching?
I don't know, how many years I had to fight in my library until I could buy PC games/RPG modules. They don't have a good rep. - and I saw my role in informing about the variety of these products, to improve their rep. It's really shocking how the youngster/adult world has drifted apart by mass media.
Again, if adults would take over full responsibility = then age rating will become futile, IMO.
On a sidenote: I still wonder why some adults like violent games/videos/DVD... just on a sidenote <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
