I probably wouldnt let my kid play an FPS(if I had a kid).
I dont think they are very dangerous for kids. But then I also dont think reading Playboy is very dangerous, but I wouldnt let my kid read it either.
I wouldnt be upset played one somewhere, but I wouldnt be condoning it either.
FPS's dont make people violent.
But they do dull or remove our instict to not shoot/kill people. The US military uses them for exactly that.
A killer still has to conciously decide to be a murder, but conditioning can breaks that last barrier that can stop people from killing.
