I sometimes wonder if perhaps I'm a bit too verbose, but there are things that just get under my nails, you know? Thanks to you both for reading it, and to anyone else who has. I honestly hope she still reads these, or that someone can pass me a way to actually comment to her. I understand her POV, I just think she's not following through with the experience, which I think she should do. Oh, KP Koopa--love the name, by the way.Eatbugs said:
Anyone else giggle to her saying people need exercise, yet the picture she chooses is of a women that looks of at least 250 LBS. . .
She sounds like an ignorant, pretentious ***** to me.
I played a lot of video games in my life and still do sometimes, just not on the same degree I used to. Has it done any harm?
Let's see, I have a job, I payed for my own car while in college, and I've earned a 3.5 GPA in my collegiate work and am about to graduate.
Well, I guess if you call that failure in life...
But at that same rate, it seems that she is ignorant and just plain moronic and she never played a video game herself.
And while she dumps her opinions on how harmful it is, she fails to realize that developing the hardware and software for such things is a combination of art, writing, engineering, programming, business, marketing, and in some cases, acting. the gaming industry pushes these facets to the limit of their potential and beget innovation. But she probably too dead-set and thick-skulled to validate any opinion but her own.

I actually appreciate what she is trying to do, misinformed as she is. While she is writing lies, she is also taking and active roll in her children's lives. She just wants to make sure her kids grow up right. She believes lies about video games and says some terrible things, but it's better than letting her kids play whatever they want then file a lawsuit when they punch some other kid.
"Gee, I loved writing so much, I wrote a best seller and now I am rich.".
That argument can be said about anything, it's practically void. Some people become video game programmers and testers because it is a rapidly expanding industry with more and more jobs becoming availale by the day, offering good salaries and lots of hours. Then there are some who just love to program.
Video game addiction is becoming more and more recognized as a social problem, mostly for young men under the age of 30 with low self-esteem. There are even addiction clinics all over the world for guys who need help.
And yet there are no addiction clinics for people who spend every waking second in a pew at their local church, yet society doesn't seem to label them as over obsessive
Video game obsession is a serious illness in this country that many people recognize.
Video games and other electronics are doing bad things to kids' brains.
Obsession with video game obsession is also another major issue. People who spend all of their time rallying against video games yet all they can contribute to society is a half-baked faux article about video games are as much of a cancer to society as video games themselves.
And what about Brain Age, or other things which exist to help sharpen your mind? What about puzzle games like the Professor Layton games which require you to critically think to solve puzzles?
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.
Have you ever considered that maybe children are incapable of sentient thought is because parents don't have the ability to turn off their child's game and make them study.
"Oh no, my child is playing Mario Kart and I am so helpless and unable to stop them."
Where do you think that's coming from? Right. TV, computers and video games.
How about bad parenting?
Maybe, if Albert Einstein had only been able to play video games when he was a youth, maybe he would have come up with that Unified Theory that all physicists hope to find instead of merely the Theory of Relativity.
You do know who Einstein is, right? The dude with the hair.
No, I have no idea who Albert Eistien is because I just so happened to touch a Game Boy Color at one point in my life.
pokemon helped me learn to read plus most of my teachers are gamers and recommend games that are good.
Its obvious that she doesn't know how to enjoy life... Fact is most intellectuals (where I live) agree that videogames are just as good as books and movies these day. PLUS Einstein dropped out of school... Im not telling people to drop out its just that he didnt need school to be great. I bet the ***** doesn't even know this stuff... she probably knows less than the people she is insulting
Low self-esteem?... maybe we should meet some time and I'll let you find out how low my self esteem is 
. But seriously love your just going to have to explain to me how playing computer games gives you low self-esteem any worse than any other activity. Playing computer games on hard difficulty and doing well can give people high self-esteem as they feel that they can accomplish what was to others a difficult task with ease. Same with online gaming, doing well and becoming the top of the leader boards can make you more confident. However if your not doing well on either the harder difficulties or playing online it can hurt your self-esteem.
This is no different from any other activity. Going jogging or competing in sport can hurt your self-esteem if the other players tend do things better then you. Going to school and studying can do painful things to your self-esteem. Studying is crippling to self-esteem even if your doing good you can some times think what your doing isn't as good as what the rest have done.
"A 2003 study by Crocker found that students who based their contingency of self-worth on academic criteria had a greater likelihood of experiencing lower-state self-esteem, greater negative affect, and negative self-evaluative thoughts when they did not perform well on academic tasks, when they received poor grades, or when graduate schools rejected them (Crocker, Karpinski, Quinn, & Chase, 2003; Crocker, Sommers, & Luhtanen, 2002)."
I don't hate you like a few here do however you need to back up your assumptions with evidence or at least a decent theory. However I have a sharp niggling feeling in the back of my head suggesting that your joking about the whole lot of this and may be a parody.

So.... God..... Damn..... Pised.... Off.... Right.... Now!
I would normally agree with people having the right to their own opinions but she, just keeps trying to present rumour as fact, minorities as sterotypes, and ignores the responses of others, acknowledging the small percentage of profane ones as evidence that she is right.
She talks about historical figures heads with such high morality like she is some fountain of wisdom, does she even know anything about the theory of relativity? Of the study of Physics?
She then goes on about examples of children who MUST be anti-social children because they don't spend 90% of their lives going to this place and that place and doing this and that around the world, sorry I have never left Australia in my whole life, I must be too warped by video games.
And her speech on the EVIL of technology and how books are the answer of everything. I guess because theater has no written text the audience can read then it clear is another great evil. Because I could not use my imagination the work of hisorical writters must be the of Satan or whatever...
She sure knows how to link to websites, but can she read them? Can she find alternate opinion without critisizing them for being wrong because she does not agree with them?
I hope she stops writing this crap...
