Let me explain this to anyone who still believes in this modern witchcrap. Aggression is easily confused with excitement. When you watch a football game you become excited which activates the same parts of the brain that are used in aggression. You can do this when reading a heavily biased news article about politics or having your cable TV signal stop for unknown reasons. If you'd like some stupid empirical evidence: Please create a tally of all those killed from watching sporting and celebrating in sporting events (not directly involved) and those who are killed from playing video games. Theories about mind control and post-developmental conditioning are typically the things of 9/11 conspiracy wackos.

Video games can make you more aggressive and they can affect your behavior. After playing Burnout or something you might catch yourself driving faster than normal. Being a responsible adult though you will immediately slow down and pay more attention... However,they're(violent games) not gonna make you go out and kill a guy unless you're already mentally unstable. In which case you shouldn't be exposed to any violent media.
