I can see ex0's point - as in it wouldn't make a difference to those committing the robbery. People like that don't give a toss who they affect in their wake. That wasn't my point. It's ok though, Matt and AlexT got it  My point was he's heading towards the usual 'OMFG, PROTECT TEH CHILDREN' frame of mind. It's ridiculous and completely unnecessary. Armed robbery is a terrible thing, trying to make it into something worse for no reason is getting close to the scare tactics used by the likes of of The Sun & The Daily Mail.

I see that point too  Personally, I don't see any difference between what they see in these "shoot 'em up" games on the ps3xplaywiistationbox things and seeing it in real life. Most kids these days are desensitised to violence because of them. Just my personal opinion of course.

We should start a movement to ban all violent video games.
Then we can ban violent tv.
And loud/angry music.
And the internet, there's bad stuffs on there.
Once this is done maybe we'll be closer to the cause of the problem! *cough*obviouslybadparenting*cough*

I don't think they should be banned, just that parents should act responsibly when purchasing such games. I don't think we can ban stuff because of the impact it "might" have, but surely a bit of common sense should prevail. And yes I know it was tongue in cheek
