Say what? Your logic is faulty.
Yes, new studies say that video games do not desensitize children. No, I'm not arguing that 8 year olds should be allowed to play GTA or any other M rated game. I have no intention of letting any future children of mine play my M rated games unless I think they can handle them (we call that a judgement call). When my little cousins go to borrow mine, I've OKed it with their parents first. That's my decision. If you wanna let a 6 year old play GTA or God of War, I say go for it.
Your argument reminds me of a person I once worked with. He was a vile, misinformed, man who loved to piss me off. He said he wanted to limit Freedom of Speech. He was fired when he was found drunk and unconscious in the break room. Do you really want to be associated with that?
