I, myself am an advocate of personal responsibility, and a gamer too, and find it ludicrous that video games be a scapegoat for heinous acts of murder. The media has been a scapegoat for violence simply because, in my opinion, it is accessible to most everyone. Dr. Phil's accusation is far overreaching, and shame on him for not taking into account his academic background when making such a decision. In both your comments, you provide adequate research on proving your point. I recommend that you link those findings in the comments you made for a more robust argument. Since it is the case that it was not Dr. Phil's blog, you cannot ask him questions on his short-sighted ramblings. <BR/><BR/>Although, in Limbaugh's comment, I wish there were more to go off of. You ended abruptly, right when your argument was gaining momentum. As was the case with your first comment, it isn't Limbaugh's blog therefore there's no form of questioning him further. <BR/><BR/>Great post and insight into the topic at hand. I was not only entertained, but educated--especially with your finding that "research shows that by the age of 11, children have adult capabilities of deciphering between fantasy and reality on the television screen." I thought it would have been sooner. Nonetheless, I only wish there had been a little more for my own entertainment.LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087514589984046524noreply@blogger.com
