Video Violence?

Video games do have violent themes, however that does not rub off on the players.  I really do not believe that because you play video games you are more prone to do more violent things.  In my opinion, it is more about who you surround yourself with, and the choices people make.  We had a big discussion about this in Spanish class, and most people agreed that how people are raised impacts them greatly.  I mentioned that people realize video games are fake, and most of the class laughed.  I just hope that they do realize Call Of Duty is not normal, and actual warfare is a lot more intense. Violence is not affected by video games.
