Here's something interesting. DATA!

Specifically, the fact that youth violence has actually gone DOWN for years now. Of course, this can't be used for OUR side in the sense that we can't argue that video games reduce violence, because there's not enough data to show that. All we can say is the violence the government is currently aware of is down. What this can say though is that those claiming youth violence is on the rise are wrong.

That above is a link to a long LONG interview with Jack Thompson. I did a pre-roll to check my fortitude and I got a 5 so I'm afraid I haven't listened to it yet. Someone else will have to be my filter. I choose GR!
GR: No! NOOOO!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
