Every generation has simultaneously sighed at the naivety and stupidity of its elders and panicked over the naivety and stupidity of the youth. I personally lucked out, my dad was into computers from an early age and had been buying games for me and my brother dating back to DOS, and he used to play them too. So when my mum was panicked over the violence in GTA 3, my dad had already seen and played 1 and 2. The intent in your actions were no different in 1 or 3, just the graphics. If graphics are going to turn us into murderers and psychopaths, movies would have done it decades earlier at the height of horror movies. I can only hope I too have enough sense to realize the stupidity of my own generation and comprehend the view point of my son when the next moral outrage occurs. One of the outrages in my youth was the effect of pornography on teenagers due to ease of access. Funnily enough despite having access at a younger age than any of my peers (and admittedly frequent perusal of it) I ended up married in my very early twenties, my marriage is going on the 6 year mark, we've got our first child, we own a house. All those things generations of old did. In fact pornography made me such a sex craved pervert I've only ever had sex with my wife. It's almost like the generational panic was... bullshit.
