Hey mom, violent video games are a.o.k!

From News Cut: Video game - violence link debunked! Well, the debunking study aside, the story is in the blog comments. Some excerpts:

"This issue gets debunked and then rebunked some many times it is just silly. If you want to look at an interesting historical parallel though, you should take at how in the 40's & 50's comic books were subjected to this same kind of scrutiny...there was even proposed legislation if I recall correctly." - Dakota Reese Brown

"I'm 36. I've played DOOM, and some Half-life, and Unreal, although as I have aged, my taste for first person shoot-em-ups has steadily declined." - Paul

"The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry all have agreed that viewing violence-saturated TV and video games repeatedly has an effect on young people." - Jessica Shryack
