Yes, let us not blame other environmental conditioning, and useless parents, let us jump on the media bandwagon and scream "Twas not our fault, surely we parents should not be to blame for our childs idiocy, let us blame something else lest people should doubt us"

THIS I agree with. Now first let me clear something up...I dont condone cames like Grand Theft Auto but I dont see a problem with say Age of the Empires, difference being the glorification og gangland culture.
HOWEVER, as Ryua states above we musnt use this as a failsafe for blame. Yes there are increasing cases of people emulating crimes from computer games/films but these are often children - why on earth are there parents leeting them play these game sin the first place?? I would say the sort of parents that *** these games for their children arent really installing hte correct moral (let alone christian!!) values to begin with.
