The article is here http://www.gamespy.com/articles/506/506168p2.html

Something I thought was interesting.  On the second page the interviewer asks about how video games were blamed for increase in violence in Japan.  The person being interviewed says it's only american games that are so violent.  And later say that japanese gamers realize that the games are works of fiction.  I just thought it was weird, imo he is saying that violent games only cause violence in american because the people playing them are stupid.  Also because American games are bloody that has something to do with violence in society.

That was interesting,

I think he was saying that violence in Japan is caused by the violence they see in the US.

And he's saying the youth of the America think violent video games are real and that's why they are violent.

So if the first two statments are true, then the violent video games are causing the American kids to be violent which is causing the violence in Japan.

funny
I just think its like saying N.W.A.'s songs don't cause violence, but the Wu-tang Clan's songs do.  

So if the first two statments are true, then the violent video games are causing the American kids to be violent which is causing the violence in Japan.

Then the kids in Korea see the kids in Japan,  and the kids in France see the kids in Korea and so on.....
