IMO it is bad parenting that leads to these issues but, what really pisses me off so much is when the parents blame our games for the actions their children took! Or, just another example of this same type of scapegoating how about when Nick Berg was beheaded in Iraq (after being warned and offered a way home) and his idiot father blamed Bush? I believe the true issue is in responsibility. Responsibility is one of the most lacking qualities in people now. I truly believe that is the source of a very large percentage of our contries and worlds problems. We have to be able to stand up, follow through, and be responsible for our actions. But instead games/books/music/etc. are banned because irresponsible parents decided to blame them for it because they are to prideful and embarassed to admit they made a mistake in parenting and maybe their children aren't the perfect little kids they thought they were...
