This post sounds like the standard "It's-not-me-it's--fault" attitude that is becoming an American way of life. In this day and age of trial lawyers and irresponsible parents (can anyone say my kid's fat so I sued Mickey D's) you are par for the course. A sad example of why children feel entitled. When I was a kid my gaming hours were regulated more than smoking is.

Today I spend 1-4 hours a day playing and have no driving urge to play violent games. When I was a kid the more violent it was the more I liked it and spent as much time playing as I was allowed. I'm not a violent offender. I have manners and regularly call people sir or ma'am. I observe the laws of society and stop to help strangers.

Your entire theory that games make kids bad is based in fallacy and ignorance. *Parents* make kids bad. Hitler never had video games. Milosevic never had video games. Neither did Stalin, Mao Ze Dong, or Ted Bundy. The ideas you propagate are sad and pathetic wastes of your own time, rather than find fact and take responsibility and use the tools god/allah/soccer playing jesus gave you you run off and jump the shark and blame a video game.

The big question here is who turned on the gaming console/PC/handheld? Who purchased it for them? Who's allowing them to continue using it if it is indeed causing time management and behavioral issues? You are. So own up and stop crying to legislate, legislate yourself.
