Chacham2 – it depends what you are looking for re “violent tendency”. While you may argue that statistically violent crime rates are not affected, kids definitely do have a tendency to “act out” what they see. This may not bother you, just as it doesn’t both TV watchers that their kids walk into school and behave like characters in South Park. But my kid who does not watch that show does not act that way, and does not yell “You killed – ” or “Yeah, he’s dead” when another kid falls down.
If you’ve played violent video games your sensitivities to it are nil (I’m talking directly to you and your expressed opinion, not just generally).
