The media is obnoxious. Correlational issues can't prove any sort of cause or effect issues. It also can't disprove the more likely concept that those who are likely to act violenty are likely to be attracted to forms of media containing violence.

Theres a higher probability of cause and effect concerning violent behavior from television and movies than video games actually. Although, we wouldn't want to mention that now... would we?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The person who is unstable to begin with is much more likley to commit acts of violence after playing violent video games than when a well adjusted person plays them. This is when steps need to be taken before the event of violence. If a person is unstable to begin with, then they shouldn't be ignored and left to their own devices in the first place.

No, they dont really cancel each other out. Which of the three points are you meaning?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
