[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]NP, PP you have absolutely no clue.  You have no clue the impact playing a game like Call of Duty has on kids if you compare it to Life the board game.  While there are hopefully drastic differences between your kids' upbringing & states of mental health and that of someone like Sandyhook murderer Adam Lanza, it's no coincidence that so many of the mass killers of the last 5+ years were noted to have played a ton of Call of Duty.

Desensitization is real and you are scarily ignorant if you continue to dismiss it as you have here[/b].[/quote]

I have to disagree that the PRIMARY driver for youth violence is desensitization.  Mental illness is the main problem, IMO.  Are mentally ill/violent kids drawn to violent movies and games?  Sure.  But that doesn't mean that violent games/movies CAUSE mental illness or violence.  Call of Duty is one of the most popular games in THE WORLD.  Millions of users.  There are not millions of violent kids as a result of the game.

That being said- CoD is not appropriate for younger kids.  Beyond the violent content of the game, the online portion- which is the most popular segment- is not rated and player interactions are akin to Lord of the Flies.

But again- MILLIONS of people play CoD world wide.  A very tiny percentage of those users have committed violent crimes.
