I agree. Oversimplification does really seem to be at play here.

I played a game once then went out and hit a car in a parking lot, parked, walked into the store, walked out, got in my car and left. Someone reported me. The cop said he needed to run his hand over the car and use a flashlight to find the scratch. That didn't prevent them from coming to my house to look for me claiming it was a hit and run. I wasn't home so they called my house an hour or two later and I talked to them.

I'm not sure if that would be a yes or no.

I also know someone who got caught with a fake ID after playing halo, ended up on probation for 2 years.

Though, as mentioned above, this really doesn't do much for your argument one way or the other. Wouldn't count for anything in college anyway.

Then don't reply. I'm not trying to find a link between video games and violence with the survey. The paper is about the link, the survey is not. The survey's just a random sampling survey to get random information from random people to use in the paper. I mean, so far, out of 30 people, there was actually one or two people that answered yes to the last question. That's one or two more yes's than I expected. Of course it's not an accurate way to get information on this subject, but then again, there's really no 100% accurate way to get information on this subject.

Anyway, i've got about 30 replies, that's good for me.. you can lock this one up
