Do you agree/disagree with Grossman?

I think Grossman is a very clever person to actually think of all that, and I have to say, his logic is good. Yes, i do agree with him, video games are just like cigarettes. They're amazingly addictive with an intoxicating ingredient. Adults producing games like that to children would make them feel like it's okay to kill, even in the real world. However, I don't think Grossman can blame it all on the games making industry, parents and other adults should be responsible, too. The situation wouldn't get as bad as Grossman showed it would be if the parents would spend enough time with the child to find out if its desensitizing and put a stop to it.

Should twelve and thirteen year olds be able to play any video game they want?

No, I really don't think so. In my opinion, it is fine to play un-educational games such as playing dress up, but the online world is filled with violence and adults contents. Those games are not appropriate for twelve and thirteen year olds in any ways. Violent games can build violent thoughts, and I wouldn't even mention what adult contents could do. Twelve and thirteen year olds could certainly play puzzle, strategy, skill games(taptap) games, etc, but I completely go against the idea that they could play any games they want!
