Even though the poll only consists of 5 people so far, I find it interesting that the votes are either yes or no and the middle ground I provided has been ignored.

I personally maintain that video games are less likely to cause real violence, as it provides a simulated environment to act out violent fantasies with no harm done to anyone.

I really need to pick up a copy of Steven Johnson's book Everything Bad Is Good for You as I've heard he devotes a fair amount of ink to making the same argument.
