Here's a question for you

should some games that are violent be banned

Not a chance. Games and movies have rating for a reason, if a 5 year old wants to sell drugs and kill cops because of Vice City, it's not his fault it's the stupid parents that gave him the game.

That's like asking if some horror movies should be banned for being too violent. What's the difference? The answer in either case is an emphatic "No!" It's the parent's position to restrict their children from material that they feel may be harmful. That's not a job for society at large. If the day ever comes when all art must be watered down and restricted in order to protect the precious little children, life will hardly be worth living.

My point exactly! Parents like to blame all this shit that happens to their kids on movies or video games because they don't want to admit that they're bad parents! Like you said, if a kid sells drugs and kills cops, it's not because of Vice City. It's because the parents weren't doing a good job.
