Grow up and stop continually insulting me and misrepresenting my statements just because you can't handle the fact that you are absolutely dead fucking wrong about the body of research on this subject.
"Video games will only make children more violent if they already have a tendency towards aggression, a new study has found."
Now take out the word "only", and you'll find that the sentence is still true, based on the study.
...no...
Now let's assume the children we're talking about have a tendency toward aggression, and we'll change that qualifier to the general qualifier "some", just to simplify. The statement is still true, based on the findings of the study.
...I won't deny that you are re-arranging the study and it's conclusions for your own purpose.

The fact is that if they make one child more violent, it's a problem.
The study indicates that if a parent has a child with this behavior ("children predisposed to aggression and more reactive to their environments") they should monitor their choices as to what video games they purchase for them (if any). Of course I think it's the parent's responsibility to decide what is right for their child, not the ratings boards. But more and more parents don't do what parents should do anymore.

If I was so "fucking wrong," you'd have simply proven it by now, rather than doing what you always do. If you had just tried to discuss the research evidence, then I wouldn't have had to respond to you at your usual level, and you wouldn't have gotten all teary-eyed.

So if anything, blame the parents.
