Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Well, we could start by responding calmly, rationally, and maturely. That way, we can take the wind out of the sails of the people who say that gamers are impulsive and immature.
Mike, you are the first person to actually respond to what I asked, and not what you assumed incorrectly I asked.
Thank you.
To the point, what would we say rationally? When your folks ask you about Saints Row, what do you say?The reasoning for video games being the cause of shootings across the U.S. is flimsy and almost non-existent. Little to no extensive studies have been done on the matter.
Other forms of media include violence, yet those aren't necessarily thought of as "shooting-inducing" material.
To be honest, it really seems like they have no evidence or actual, rational reasoning for targeting games.
Who ever accused soccer moms of being rational???
I'd like to meet him or her to slap them silly.
Logic has very little to do when scapegoats are called for.The problem I feel is that there really is no collective community for "gamers" that has the potential to be taken seriously.
Personally, I feel as if the logical explanation could go a long way in helping the case if there was some sort of a group that could garner respect and attention.
OK, there is a suggestion. Form a coalition of gamers to oppose the pissed off soccer moms. The gun owners have the NRA, who do we have?
Good job. This is exactly what I am looking for.
