I found a report on CNN.com that says video games like GTA and Counterstrike help increase visual coordination alot, so they can't be a complete waste of time, and besides, if you ever plan to have fun in your life, you have to have to waste some time.
For every Joker, there's a Batman, for every "kid" that uses his knowledge of computers to create viruses, there will be another person that will just as easily be able to stop that virus. We can't worry about small problems that may slightly harm the great outcomes of teaching students something that they hopefully use for good and not evil....well, you know what I'm trying to say.
