here is what i wrote to them:
To whom it may concern,
i would like to start off to say that i am a higly
educated 15 year old who loves playing video games.
and as far as blaming video games for violence i do
not agree with you. you should really not blame video
games for kids acting violent. think of it as this
way, Adolf Hitler wanted to find a "scapegoat" so he
used the Jewish society, when it wasn't the Jewish
Society's fault. you are doing the same thing with
video games. and its not the video games' fault that
children are so violent. its the parents' fault, if
they werent so ignorant to what their kids are doing,
parents should be more responsible, just as they are
when they are watching movies or watching tv. movies
are fun for the whole family, only if you pick the
right one. video games are the same way. on the plus
side video games are a great hobby, its a way to meet
people and as a surprise, to learn history. also video
games are a great way to relieve stress, and its
always better to be playing video games in secure
place(home) than to be doing drugs. this is what i
feel every time i hear that parents are upset about
the way their kids are acting and blame video games.
p.s. please write back. i look forward to hearing your responses
