@jsmoke03 @ppuo I believe, although i'm not a specialist, that it depends on much more parameters, like the age of exposition (the earliest, the worst), or how much time exposed to violence and, of course, individual choices too. That's not such a simple quantitative analysis, being more qualitative though. What i'm saying ist that not every kid have means to defend theirselves from violence, psichologically speaking.
Not so dumb in my opinion, after all, no one's saying that kids can't tell games from reality, The point is, that violence becomes more natural if you are surrounded by it all the time, especially during childhood. Violents parents who raise violent kids are just a prove of that. Please go out and learn something that doesn't come out of a box.
