I’m sure being older impacts my position. But if your argument is technology has not skewed and desensitized today’s youth and negatively impacted mental health then you are an idiot.

Go ahead and link me some empirical evidence showing technology used to play violent games is causing kids to act out violently in real life.

I'll give you a hint, you won't find any.

You have zero evidence to back this up. And tell me this: do you think seeing and participating in fake violence desensitizes kids more than seeing and participating in real violence when we send them off to war?

In my opinion, video games give kids an outlet when they might otherwise do things in the real world. Am I an idiot for thinking that? I have just as much evidence as you do.

So someone is an idiot for simply not believing your theory/opinion? I'm not saying you're wrong. But before I take your opinion as fact I'd like to know your qualifications or at least read a frickin' abstract.
