I confess I am, by and large, an "ignorant adult" concerning violent video games. Phyllis Schafly remedied my ignorance. Her extremely important article offers descriptions. Ultra vile. Only the sickest of sick societies would countenance the sale of these video games to children (or anyone else). She urges us to get our State Attorneys General to weigh in with amicus brief cases in support of a Supreme Court case coming up soon. Excerpt:
Extremely violent and addictive video games are polluting the minds of an entire generation of children, and most parents are clueless. Young players earn game points based on how many murders they commit, with increasingly realistic bloodshed splattered around for teenagers and pre-teens to learn to enjoy.
These highly disturbing video games encourage players to shoot innocent bystanders to win points and to commit acts like using shovels to decapitate people so dogs can then fetch their chopped-off heads. If you find that shocking to read, just imagine how much more shocking it is for a 7-year-old to see it acted out in gory graphics and to win points for committing such crimes.
Other scenes include having sex with prostitutes and then killing them or committing heinous acts of terrorism. These deadly role-playing games not only desensitize and reward players for acts of extreme violence, but are highly addictive.
