That's a really useless poll. I don't let my 4 year old play QuakeII because it makes him get too rowdy and seems to have other effects on his psyche, but the term "aggression" never came to mind. I treat all media sources the same when it comes to my children: adult content is not appropriate, they aren't adults. :)

I've played "violent" computer games, as well as violent non-computer games (football, "war/army men/whatever you call it", etc.) my whole life and don't feel those games made me aggressive. In fact, I think they are outlets for pent up energy and aggression. It's all part of growing up.

If children aren't properly parented then worrying about media content is like chasing a mosquito in your burning house.
