You know what? I'd rather see kids sucked into video games. You know why? It's a hell of a lot better than seeing them dabble in drugs, alcohol and gangs. It may be vice for some, but it sure is safe when compared to the other evils.
In fact, let's see what results from each evil:
Drugs = internal damage, mentally and physically; may result in prison sentence or death.
Alcohol = internal damage, mentally and physically; may result in prison sentence or death.
Gangs = may result in prison sentence or death; may be salvageable, but results in convicted felon status.
Video Games = damage to social and mental functions; may be salvageable, if parents have common sense.
