BF2S Forums Funny people you Americans!

Two things, first off, you got this in the wrong forum.  =P  Second, he is right, games are bad for kids.  I know that I myself have become more lazy and less intelligent by playing them all the time.  heh, well, looks like there's a third.  He isnt the strangest, I wont give links or names, but Im sure most of you know of a certain animal phenomena

Quote of the last part!

"32_Footsteps: To wrap up, any final message you’d like to get to video gamers?

Jack Thompson: Yes, put down the controller and get a life. Video gaming is an escapist activity and you’re being exploited by these companies. It’s not healthy; I worry about someone who would play Grand Theft Auto for ten hours a day. It’s a masturbatory activity, and it would be better if people put down the controller and went outside."

damn. i've never even heard of this dude until now, and goddamn! this fucker has lost his mind!

There are crazy people all over the world, you can't single us out.  You're just trying to fit in with everybody else by making jokes on Americans.  Maybe you're just jealous.

Game's aren't bad for kids. Parent that let kids play the games not suited for them are bad for kids. Would you let a 7 year old watch Full Metal Jacket. Sucky Sucky 5 dollar. I think not. The games are rated. Problem is people don't know how to be parents anymore.

"I don't want Mountain Dew I want F'n chocolate milk." - those of you that saw the chocolate milk video from Xbox live get it.

You choosing not to exercise your body and mind aren't the games fault. That's your decission. This is the whole problem. Everyone making the games the scapegoat for there own inability to get off there ass and do somethin'.

Sorry I just get pissed when people say, "Games are bad." That's BS. It's easy to put the blame on a faceless victim.

I'll stop know or I'll just ramble.

Yeah, see, where I made the assumption that "Games are bad for kids", Im using PERSONAL EXPERIENCE to make that inference.  Im 18, Ive played video games for the past 14 years of my life.  If I hadn't devoted so much time to those, I would have turned out much different.  And before anyone goes and says "14 years?! youre lying!!1one!"  Yes, 14 years.  Maybe even longer.  My grandparents got me an SNES for my 3rd or 4th birthday and I apparently havent gotten off games since.  Yeah, my first college GPA was terrible.  The reason? Video games.  Now, Im not ragging on games or anything.  Im just saying that yes, they are bad, but that shouldnt stop anyone from playing them.  Oh, and by the way...yes, I would let a 7 year old watch Full Metal Jacket.(They'd have to ask first though.  Also, Im not bound by Christian religion or any moral ideas that religion teaches.  So that wont work )  So, whatever, Id be a bad parent.
