Yeah, it's just illogical to assume that video games make people do these things. How many millions of people play CS? How many have shot people?

Although I do believe that playing FPS games CAN potentially make you better at combat because of all the things you learn (timing your reload, firing in bursts to reduce recoil, kneeling/going prone to increase accuracy, etc... but come on, it's a game. Does playing "Cruisin' USA" at the arcade make me Jeff Gordon? No.

This Thompson guy is an idiot, for being an "expert" he should at least know who publishes the game he's denouncing. And he should try to come with some hard evidence against Cho instead of just assuming all of his speculations are correct...Chris Mathews got on him good for that.
