Do Tell

From Fox News:

"When teens play violent video games, they may get more emotionally revved up than if they play nonviolent video games."

“'Our study suggests that playing a certain type of violent video game may have different short-term effects on brain function than playing a nonviolent -- but exciting -- game,” Vincent Mathews, MD, says in an RSNA news release."

What a stroke of genius. I wonder if they got federal grant money for this research.

I think that may be true, except my boys don't play violent video games at all and they still yell and scream and jump up and down and throw the controllers. I would hate to see what wold happen if they played violent ones.

They key is simple - everything in moderation. When they get angry,it's time to take a break - like a 24-48 hour break.

The federal grant was probably for several million dollars! Makes you wonder, eh? The next study? The effects of violent movies and tv.
