==Video Games and the Spreading of Liberal Values==
The video game industry has a long history of unintentionally spreading liberal values and extremist ideals to children.
====Examples====
*Overusing profanity (Many games rated "T" for "teen")
*Meticulous designs of blood and gore (Virtually every game rated for 17+ players)
*Allowing players to be terrorists and perform terrorism (''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'')
*Allowing players to have fornication with prostitutes (All ''Grand Theft Auto'' video games)
*Welcoming to more violence, such as providing bonus points for extra murders (''Grand Theft Auto IV'')
*Over reliance on violence than story (''Gears of War'')
*Overtones of [[Hollywood Values]] (''Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony'')
*Allowing players to gamble in [[Las Vegas]] themed casinos and borrow money from [[mafia]] bosses (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas after completing a flight school).
*Godless protagonists, religious antagonists. (''Sins of a Solar Empire'')
*Encourages radical terrorism (''Red Faction: Guerrilla'')
*Promotes idolatry (''Black and White'')
