truthfully, it does concern me a bit that my 10 year old nephew is really good at Black Ops. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:43 15
- The fact that he's good at it would not disturb me. The desensitization to violence might. -- nm - ty97 Dec 21, 09:56 1
  - meaning, that one gets good at something by playing it ALOT. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:57
- why? seriously, why does this concern you? - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:45 12
  - It would concern me. - musubi Dec 21, 09:47 2
    - point, i wasnt implying that a 10yr old should be playing black ops - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:48 1
      - I don't doubt it. It's a fair concern though. - musubi Dec 21, 09:54
  - 1. he is 10, he should not be playing Black Ops. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:45 8
    - thats a problem with his parent, not him. he wants to play it, just like you would if you were than age. - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:46 7
      - true, but it is certainly a reason, as a whole, that this is a problem. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 09:47 6
        
        Violent video games and movies are available all over the world. We're the only country with a problem on this scale. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 21, 09:49 1
        
        true, and there is a decent chart somewhat showing this already out there. -- (link) - tRuMaN 24601 Dec 21, 09:52

        We need more Halo players :) -- nm - oblique Dec 21, 09:48 1
        
        Halo is not much different, really. - groiny Dec 21, 09:49
