Thanks.

Putting aside the arguement over videogames.

Assume the study referenced is correct.

Does that mean that I am 'abusing' my (hypothetical) teenage son when he shoots at human shaped paper targets at the gun range, but not when he shoots at round targets?

Yes, I have played first person shooters... and I am 34 years old.

I don't recall the studies name, I have read about it in several different publications over the years... I'll see what I can dig up.

I guess if by "borrow" Thompson actually means "punch someone in the face and pull them out of their car," he may have a point.

I am playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion right now. Very addicting. Can't wait for Halo 3

well, considering you should be trained to aim at human intruders/muggers/what-have-you, i would say no, that doesnt constitute child abuse. when's the last time someone was attacked by a paper circle? =P

I had to stop playing Oblivion for a while, it was consuming my life; so I went back to my other addiction. Halo 2 matchmaking.

The gameplay on Oblivion is endless. I put it down for awhile after I became a vampire.

Nice to see JT's found a niche. I remember his rants and am glad it's elsewhere.
