i agree that the media can change hte culture of a society but i dont agree with thsoe anti GTA people. They claim that a major factor in the columbine shootings was doom and stuff like that. thats such a lot of shit (pardon my french). the kids must have been severely messed up mentally. and the parents, the ones BUYING the games or just not watching their kids are to blame. My parents know that i play vice city and unreal and cs and they dont care. they know that they have established a moral value system with me and i will not shoot up a school or cause mass violence. its the parenting that causes the problems, not the media.
