So all i can give on this is my personal opinion. In regards to violent video games and the question are they effecting our youth and desensitizing our population?
Well my first though is what are your kids doing playing violent video games? Young children are in a very impressionable state. You shouldn't buy anything for a child if it isn't appropriate, video games are no different then movies. And if you aren't sure then play it yourself first or read a review, get into the culture instead of poo, pooing it from the sidelines. I'm not saying become obsessed or even to like it, but there is nothing wrong with a healthy understanding.
I do understand that there are ways that kids can get violent video games other then their parents, but this is true with many things in life. This just means that it is important to get a huge dose of reality too. It wouldn't be healthy for a child to only study and not play or live life ether, yes that is a very different scenario but the principal is the same, it's about balance and moderation.
In regards to desensitizing our population, it's the same you need reality, even if it's just to appreciate the unreal. If you can draw the line between real and not then you should be fine, if not then just be aware of that aspect of yourself, moderate it and pay attention if it is effecting your life in a negative way then be more cautious, but this doesn't mean that everyone is the same and that they should do what you do.
Hope that makes sense. ^_^
