Are video games a bad influence

Not entirely. Some believe that video games may lead young people to commit violence and/or emulate the things they've seen in them. I believe that those people who do emulate the things seen in video games probably had something wrong with them in the first place or didnt know right from wrong. Ultimately, it is up to the individual. Im 25 and i have never taken a Barret 50 cal up a belltower.
