Does baseball have the same effect as videogames?
My personal opinion is that baseball is, to some, seen upon as a game. Beating, or stabbing, someone to a pulp fall into another category.The thing is that when viewing such materials, some people might feel that they think it's OK to do such a thing, or that it doesn't really matter.
This happened to a kid here in Norway, when he got run over by a car thinking he could just "fly" across the road like Batman, after he had seen the show on the telly.
I'm guessing the same could happen to some person as well, by playing this kind of game, or watching these kind of films. He might go out one day and get in a situation where he acts just like in the game/film.
Anyways, what I meant by my initial post, was that it might "tip" an unstable person in the wrong direction, if that person happens to find him/her-self in the "right" situation.
