Mr. Sinclair says:
"There might have been thousands of studies proving the link between computer games and violence in children, but there are just as many thousands that disprove it too."
This comment is counter-factual and not based in reality.
The subject of whether violent media can have a harmful affect on child development is proven, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Psychiatric Association all agree and even issued a joint statement to congress to this affect back in 2000. Point to one group that has half the stature that these groups do that would disagree.
