I love the "fill-in-the-blank"=terrorism posts that claim validity.

OK, prove it. Post a link to a credible study that shows an increase in 
affinity for violence due to playing games. I can save you the trouble.

Look, my family was dirt-poor appalachian white trash. From an incredibly 
young age we poached deer and rabbits and any small game out of neccesity. 
You didn't hunt, you didn't eat. I grew up around the smell of butchered 
deer in the kitchen sink. I though nothing of killing something other than 
how good it was going to taste. So did most of my friends.

You know how many people I've hurt or killed (excluding time served in US 
Army)? None. You know how many of my friends grew up into killers? Yep, 
none. As a matter of fact I play Unreal games several times a week, I run my 
own game server and am active in several Unreal forums. Want to know how 
many guns I have owned in the last 5 years? I'll give you a hint: Less than 
1.

I'll wait here for you to post your link to a sanctioned study. <tap tap
