ive never heard a person go "man, that is so homosexual" before.  or pathetic?  all i'm saying is you should choose your words more wisely...you probably couldve made a decent argument about how games are intended for kids and that older people have more important things to be doing other than gaming.  instead you chose to flame people...and then you get mad at people who flame you back.

who did i flame?  this was a response to all the posts so far. it wasnt directed at you.  although, you do have the majority of the posts here. i did not attack you, nor will I attack anybody else here.  but i also dont like being called a looser or a faggot just because i like to game, and will respond accordingly.

i think this arguement can go on and on.
internet arguements can rarely be resolved and me thinks this isn't one of 'em.
i think all parties should give it a rest and just duke it out in the game....

It's pretty clear to me this Gene guy is just trying to get our attention, in which he succeeds darn good. I've got a little daughter of my own and the best way to solve these kinds of problems (if she uses foul language for example) is IGNORING ! Let Gene talk and shout what he wants...just ignore the guy. For all we know he is a she beeing 60 and just wants to get on our nerves. And to the other guys and girls who are -20... we do listen to your opinions but only if you do this in a serious way... Keep in mind that we are over 19 (or like me: 31).

Besides...what does it mean: 'to get a life' ?
Maybe we should discuss about this first !

To me it means: Be happy and see to it you can hold this feeling for the rest of your live.

So, in my case...Even though I play a lot (according to my wife - not to me) I HAVE a life.
(wife, kid, house, university degree and fun at work)

And to repeat something I read before somewhere: SKILL is SKILL and FUN is FUN (age is really not that important... if you are good...you are BORN good)

Have a nice life you ALL

(And NO Gene...I will NOT reply on whatever YOU will say to this - "I cant wait however to see you on the field" says the child in me)

PS: Now I'm a bit wasting my time while my kid is waiting for me...

There's somthing called respect and politeness. Without that it's not  the freedom of speech, it's Sgt.Gene's freedom to be an idiot.

I would first like to tell you a week consists of 7 days.  You'll have to learn that when you're working on the weekends flipping burgers.

Second......

I would have to say you are the ignorant one.  Please quote the person that told you "you can't say what you're saying".  You said someone is "arguing" with you abou freedom of speech. Sounds like you are trying to bring up a different topic (freedom of speech) because you have nowhere to go with your point.

What you're proving to me and the rest of us is that you can't think of a decent response that would prove your point so you have to tell us that just because you're too stupid/ignorant/dumb you have the right to say what you want.    Yup, you're right, and noone here said otherwise!

I just ask that you take your verbal and mental beating like the little man you are when you run your mouth befor thinking about what you're saying. 

In the above quote you say.............." it really makes me think about how u people make it through the day."  ..........................this one makes me laugh the most because newsflash!!!!!!! YOU ARE one of U PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What are YOU doing when you post your comments?  Seems like you've been doing it for more than a few minuts.

Ignorant people like you amuse me.  You make me laugh. I didn't have to "waste" a single minut playing games because you are an easy target. 

And don't bring the "I may be young but I still have freedom of speach" crap because I don't care.  I give respect for anyone of any age if they have half a brain and at least have a good reason for their point of view.   You can say whatever you want for all I care.  Just be prepared to back it up or have people tell you what's what.

i think its you younger lot who have no life, when i was under 20 i was off fucking getting drunk and high etc, not playing games, now i have settled this is what i do. so you kids shit the fuck up and go lose that virginity of yours and do the things normal kids do.

Guys, this is a moot point!  Obviously this SRG guy is just talking to be talking......He has not been able to come up with a better reason for his argument other than "I'm only 15.  I'm Pre mature. I have the right to freedom of speech!"   Someone needs to give him a sign so he can walk around all day protesting his right to freedom of speech because apparently all he has to say is that he has the right, not the reason!

i think its lame to criticise what people do in their free time.  what i think most of us would agree is that gaming taken to an excess is not a healthy thing.  in the end this is recreation and spending 8 hours a day with a game isn't going to leave much time for the other things that are important.

I personally do not see what's wrong with a old guy playing, if he can move a mouse a type on a keyboard, then yes, he is entitled to play a game and no, that does not mean he's needs to get a life. Some old poeple like to walk in the park, some like to play chess with their friends and I don't give a damn if my grandpa pwns me in BF2...(as if he even knows what BF2 is...)

And to those who think gamers below 19 needs a life, I think banging chicks, getting high...etc. is not what poeple with a life do. Poeple who need a life are those who go "OMFG, FAG FAG FAG, SH1T D1CK F**K PU$$Y, u gy l0rd muthaf&ka~!!" and thinks that what happens in video games are what really happens in life.
I am 15, I play video games and I think I am perfectly normal.

And I do agree that this is a useless thread....this really needs to be locked.
