Who's at fault?

We have talked a lot about the effects war has on popular culture, and video games on our citizens. I'm sure we've all seen the studies and reports on how video games are making our kids violent. We even watched the video from the Army Experience Center, which showed the kids screaming at the TVs. 

As someone who played video games, and who grew up with three brothers, video games do make us more violent. I was never to the point where I thought about doing some catastrophic, but I did get angry with my parents and brothers easier when I would lose/die in my video game. I find it funny, now, how seriously I used to take my video games, because they were supposed to be for fun. 

I would argue that the fault does not lie in the video game creators nor the children. Video game creators are getting paid to provide entertain for people. Our society has allowed them to have a job where making violent video games is OK, and if I were getting paid to make them, I wouldn't feel bad at all. I also don't think the responsibility lies in the children. They're just doing what their parents have taught them.

I think all responsibility lies within how the parents raise the child. If they raise them to realize what reality is, then no video game will alter that. I don't blame parents for providing the video games for these kids. In my personal experiences, kids who are sheltered turn out to make more mistakes, or be more socially insecure than kids who had a well-rounded childhood. Yes, that mean's watching whatever they want on TV, so they are exposed to the world. It also means playing whatever video games they want to. They will someday be exposed to all of this, so they shouldn't be sheltered from it when they are younger.
