I play the violent (combat) games because I do like that kind of thing. It's part of the reason I stayed in the Marines as long as I did.

Personally, I think its good for our society that we have big, dangerous guys who are willing to go into harm's way for everyone else. They let the soft, security-unconscious enjoy life and the antics of Paris Hilton (okay, we like photos and videos of Paris, too.)

The people you have to worry about are the crazies and chemically imbalanced. They killed plenty of people long before Pong first entered people's living rooms - and as Fazor said - they're not committing violence or mayhem due to any inducement from the game; they were already unfit for society to begin with.
