it's not hard to do the research, and when you do it becomes very apparent that video games do not incite violent or aggressive behaviour.

Before you go putting even more words in my mouth (hey, thanks for that, btw), let's be clear: I am not talking about Fox News and whether or not it has an effect on people, and I'm not saying "environment" in the hazy, vague way you present it doesn't have an effect on people. Good to know you're ready to lump all sorts of unrelated topics together in the media witch hunt.
