Hi, I?m a 10th grader who has been an avid fan of games since I was 5. I scored a 98% on the critical thinking portion of the PSAT.

What was your point again?

Oh, and videogames are an addiction? Please reconsider that, as the evidence for video game addiction was declared inconclusive by the American Society of Addiction Medicine two years ago. Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2425415820070624

Just because there are addiction centers for something does not mean it is medically an addiction. It?s called ?taking advantage of the populace to make money.? It?s a pretty common tactic, as though of us who spend a significant amount of time reading the news know(Besides gaming, I?m also a hardcore speech and debate nerd, specializing in Team Policy and Extemporaneous speaking, so the news isn?t really news to me anymore.)

oh yeah

*raises hand*

So... raise your hand if you think she's a DICK?

*raises hand*

"An image cannot affect a person unless there is something already there in the individual."

TRANSLATION - People who are usually addicted to these games usually have some kind of psychological issue before hand.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Oh boy.

Ok, I hope I don't get on anyone's bad side for saying this but, what a *****!

 

[VanityGirl]

I hope that woman reads this.

I bet your continuous stint in front of the computer are bad for your brain too, but I don't hear you complaining about it.
Ever heard of Leapster? It's a video game made for children to help them LEARN!! Wow, I bet learning is bad for your brain too.

Seriously, I'm a high school graduate and am going to school to be a doctor. It sounds like this woman believes you have to be uneducated or just an idiot to enjoy your leisure time by playing video games.

Lady, you're an idiot.

Alright guys this is a clarion Call. I am going to send her an E-mail with my college diploma tagged in it. Are there any Physicists out there!?!? I would love to see her Inbox get over flowed with intelligent gamers out there! I know we have many, lets show her that she can rethink her outlook on who exactly plays games.

Anyone up to it?

EDIT: Also,

Let's pretend for a moment that videogames had been invented...100 years ago. They met some opposition early on, but quickly became a popular pasttime. Highschools had videogame teams, parents encouraged their kids to be the best they could be, and colleges offered scholarships for those exceptionally skilled.

Then, circa 1980, football (or rugby, either works) is invented. It takes the world by storm, with usage of videogames dropping dramatically as many kids just start playing football (American).

Suddenly, simulated violence becomes real. Concussions and broken bones are commonplace, and even Death rears its ugly head from time to time. The nations' parents begin to panic as their kids regularly come back with cuts and bruises from another session of their friends having fun hurting each other.

The scary part? This world makes sense. Why would parents embrace watching their kids beating the hell out of each other in real life if for a century they'd enjoyed 'sporting' from the safety of a game system? That's the scary part, but here's the funny part: parents *did* react this way to the growing 'menace' of football. It was no better than a bloodsport to them, because that seemed like exactly what it was.

Woah, you just blew my mind.

 

[HappyDD]

All you have to do is ask any teacher about his or her students' critical thinking skills these days and you will hear a TORRENT of horror stories about kids who have lost the power to think.

Ya, people have been saying this for years. "Back in my day, kids were all rocket scientists before they reached age 7, and now they just sit there eating crayons."

People can, and do, get addicted to video games, but these are people that are troubled and would be addicted to something else if not video games. We really need to help these people, not just blame them and say "You have low self-esteem, loser."

Adult troll, move along people

 

[sky14kemea]

..Her writing style reminds me of someone (Who I won't name obviously xD)

O-o She's kinda patronising isn't she?

 

[Evil Raccoon]

Short reaction: Ehhhh...

Long reaction: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Skratt]

Ladies and gentlemen, the role of the ignorant angry ne'er do well Jack Thompson will be played by an ignorant uneducated bookworm who goes by the name of FrumpyMom (R)(TM)(C)

 

[FightThePower]

Yeah, I guess me playing videogames the majority of my life has rotted my mind. Which would explain why I got straight As at A level and got into one of the top 100 Universities in the World. Wait...what?

I just don't bother arguing with these people anymore, they never present any sound evidence to support their argument.

 

[JWAN]

Im going to get frumpy middle aged mom a power washer so she can get all of that sand out of her vagina.

Jeez you must have sold your soul to the devil to pull that one off!

well, NASA and the military want gamers for computer operations because of their skills at multitasking.

Like I said, she needs a power washer to get all of that sand out of her vagina.

 

[JWAN]

I'm glad she's reading The Escapist.

To channel the Frumpy Mom directly, I'm going to state this:

This woman is beyond saving. She will never change.

Move on with your lives, people, nothing to see here.

I refuse to be patronized as a brain dead, or a devil worshiper. Who is she to judge my gaming habits? If she really was a christian she would accept differences in people who choose to live their lives in a different way than hers. She makes me look bad because people will hop all over that shit and go "LOOK CHRISTIANS HATE VIDEOGAMES!!!!11!!!!!!!" and make me guilty by association.

Fuck that *****.
