As for your ideas on educational experts... those are just wrong. And I'm not talking about the religious fundamentalists, but about the child psychologists who are experts on issues like these. The fact of the matter is that results of studies so far have produced mixed results, with violent video games possible causing more feelings of aggression and such.
Even if there is no conclusive evidence of these effects of violent video games, do you really want to use your son as a living experiment, just because it seems to you that it probably won't do much harm?

Again, i must respectfully disagree.
nuber one, i don't believe that his "nature" is forming now. i believe who you are is mostly genetic and there is as much evidence proving that as the latter so it's a matter of beliefs.
Number two, Exactly! studies have produced mixed results...it's all guesswork people, and as a parent i have not just a right, but an obligation to keep these whackos away from the kid and let him be "him" if i think that's what is right.
good argument though.
