Hillary vs. Grand Theft Auto

Johnson's position on video games is ridiculous. He believes that the rising popularity in video games has had a positive effect on today's youth. He points to crime rates, SAT scores, and even the declining rate in hijacked cars as evidence to support his point. He uses all these arguments to go against Clinton's argument for controlling video games. Johnson believes that the investigation is as ridiculous as an investigation on the raising rate of crime due to football. Johnson believe that video games are a mental outlet for children, while Clinton argues that they influence our youth to do the bad things that they see in video games. Johnson also believes that the growing rate of children who are playing video games is a direct correlation to the times. Johnson saids that because our world is becoming more and more technological, children will be better equipped for the changing work force. I do not agree with Johnson's arguments because they are based on bias facts and he is fabricating information and facts to further advance his point.
