Computer Gaming- recreation or threat?  

I guess it depends upon what game your kids play. As you have said it there are games that promotes violence then i would consider that as a threat. But there are also those that are quite educational and they should be tolerated with guidance from the parents to avoid addiction of thier children and to impose some disclipine and self control in them.

I don't really play much playstation games. My son and hubby do though but just for fun and games. I think they are ok for recreational purposes and thats how we keep it in our family.

I like takkan a fighting game for playstation 2. i also like Grand theft Auto. I guess it all depends on how you look at it whether ia can cause a criminal tendency or not.
