Over the last time, more and more public attacks are made in America. Recently a man with a rifle opened fire near a church Saturday morning in the San Fernando Valley and wounded three people, Los Angeles police said.

It is problem of Americans opssesion with security and defence. In order to be hard for invasion, USA supports gun possesion. That means that every house in USA is potential bunker. USA bullys whole world and because of it is scared that someone would have enough and be crazy to oppose. Ordinary people doesn't uderstand it wery well. There are some disturbed ordinary people as everywhere in the world, but because of USA defensive politics they can easy get guns. When they get ceasure of crazyness guns start to kill neighbours.
The - solution: USA must stop mollesting the world and try to be peacefull again, like it have bean with late Kennedy. It must be peacefull with its deads, not just with the words. When guns are prohibited in USA we will know that USA gave up from evil and became good again. While it is paranoically afraid of everything the world will know that USA have dirty conscience.

American children degradate more and more, and not only Americans. This is also the effect of PC games which become more and more realistic! Computer programmers don't think about the consequences they may have over the child's psyhic. They act in the life just like in games.

This is why I would forbid children to play violence PC games. Every state must pass such a law in order to safe the children's psychics.

We shouldn't experiment with our own kids. We should use rats and rabbits first. There are no real data about consequences of "virtual life". However, I have noticed that children are aware that computer games are not reality, and that it couldn't be possible in real life. The only thing that elders must do is to limit the time of playing PC games, and to talk with children about their perspective of it, you must say once a while to child that it is make-believe, and monitor their behaivior.

If we do that, kids will be healthy.

[Andrewz]

Yes, we should tell them that. But, they should supervise them anyway. It's a fact that children who are fans in playing PC games become more aggressive.

[sasha]

Maybe it is so because of disbalance of mental and phisical dynamics... just wild guess.

[Benn]

I would propose that each game, before being launched on the market, to be checked a an empowered authority. It will assess its level of danger and will decide whether to lauch it or not.

on the other hand, computer games develop the logic of a child.

as well as spoil it. Just think, in the past children used to calculate and make mathematical assessments by their own. What about now? Computer does this work for them.

[Benn]

That's true. But on the ther hand it increased the productivity of work. Maybe they don't need to know how to calculate fast in their minds how much is 46x59

[Faw_Peter]

Benn, it's not about figures. But, being able to calculate figures in your mind, normally helps your logic.

Too many video games and too much democracy
