When I was a kid and you lost a game you may throw a controller but that was about it. Now kids are shooting up tournaments and stabbing their brother in the neck. |

Difference between our childhood and today's kids is that we would still go out and socialize in a non-video game environment. Spending the majority of someone's free playing video games and not developing social skills leads to an inability to release stress in a nonviolent manner. |

Kids think playing outside is punishment now. Staying in the house was punishment 20 to 30 years ago. |

i couldn't win a million dollars playing video games back when i was a kid though. obviously that doesn't justify violence, but there is now real money involved in some of these tournaments. |

Child grabbers & drive bys all over the news made the world a dangerous place. Now adults bitch about kids not wanting to go out. |
