Let me start off by saying that I have no problem with video games in general, I do have a problem with kids who sit in front of a screen for 6-7 hours a day and do nothing but play games. Video games are slowly ruining society. I have yet to meet a game addict with the social skills capable of holding a conversation with an adult. Games promote bad health and in some cases hygiene. You don’t want to go outside and play a game that promotes health like anything that requires the least physical exertion because their bodies can’t handle it from sitting in a dark room all day doing nothing. If they, gamers, get into a conversation with some one who doesn’t play game they have no idea what to talk about. The really big kid in our class is a good example (sorry to single out) all his papers are on games, he knows the creators and the companies, dude get a life. Go out to a movie, get some friends (not online friends you game with) and go bowling or something. I do not mean to come off as gamist (like racist) but a line needs to be drawn to how far video games are taken. I don’t even care about the content of the game; I care about how it is corrupting people today. The games might be fun but they serve no purpose other than the new “babysitter” for parents and to slowly kill the minds of people. When I become a parent my kid will not play video games and will not own a gaming system. I am against chronic video game players in every way shape and form, the conational game is fun but that’s it. I have told gamers my views before and they seem confused that I don’t understand games, I understand and have done a little research, they are bad in more ways then most drugs, at least with drugs you are forced to talk to other people (and sometimes your self). |

The same arguments have been used against television, though I personally think that TV is more destructive since it lacks the interactivity of video games. | |
