Grumpy Pundit: Men Play Too Many Dang Videogames

This is how old prune conservative radio hosts cope with their mid-life depression / erectile dysfunction.

He only wants us to 'man up' because he's completely lost that ability.

If he's pro-abortion to any degree, is he really a conservative? Just throwing that out there.

Well done. I see you've tried to plant a fallacy using abortion as the root. Political figures cannot represent the party they belong to on every conceivable level, unless it was the Borg and they were assimiliated. In other words: Yes, he really is a conservative. There are pro-abortionists who are otherwise conservative in nature, just like their are vegan conservatives and even gay conservatives.

wow it took what, about five posts for the typical Escapist "derpity derp Fox news hur hur hur" post

OT: this guy is a moron but he has a little tiny bit of a point I have seen people refuse to get a job because it would cut into their world of Warcraft time and that's just sad

I've seen men refuse to have girlfriends because it cut into their work time I that any better? Some people just have shit priorities.

I see your point but that is a bad example, because actually I would say valuing a job over a romance is not that bad of a priority mix up perhaps at worst it might have some long term effect on his emotional well being but that is iffy, where as the man who refuses to get a job is both leaching off the state and causing his family to have to try and eat on a minuscule budget because most of the money he gets from the government goes straight to video games

He's not pro-abortion; his actual statement was that the correlation between abortion rates and crime would suggest that aborting all black babies would lower crime. He does not advocate actually doing the act, and considers such eugenics "morally reprehensible."

Racist, a bit. But not pro-abortion by any definition of the term.

Also, as someone else pointed out already, ideology is not black/white; you don't become a liberal the moment you want abortions, or a conservative the moment you hate illegal immigration. Political opinions are (well, preferably) significantly more complex and nuanced.

Today, 18-to- 34-year-old men spend more time playing video games a day than 12-to- 17-year-old boys.

Clearly us 18-to-34-year-old men should be playing more 12-to-17-year-old boys. Ambiguous grammar is fun.

Funny how this politician has nothing to say about the Rich Male Porn Star/Directors seducing his generations daughters with money, drugs, and alcohol into the Porn Industry and becoming online slu*s. What about those scum?

You are not a man if you fuck every woman you can. You are meaningless, heartless, and will live a fast life to death and hell, especially with all that drama and higher risk of a psycho cutting your throat in the middle of the night.

Video Gamers live more of a life of Duty, and live a thousand lives, all while not trying to be foolish worker slaves in the real world.

We are more free than those corrupt politicians trying to stay out of jail and making billions just to spend billions enslaving others.

Free your chains from a consumer's life and get your 40 hours a week back fellow gamers!

I'm 18. The reason I don't have a job is because there aren't any around where I live. I've looked into applying at like 30 different places in the last month, and only 2 have accepted any sort of applications, and then only one of those has actually got back to me about anything. I wonder what he'd say about that?

"For the first time in history, women are better educated, more ambitious and arguably more successful than men,"

And this is a bad thing? I'm confused, is he accusing men of gaming addiction or jealous of successful women?

Stop listening to the media telling you how to be a man, listen to ME telling you what it is to be a man!

No thanks you fat old dinosaur.

I have a job tyvm, and unlike this old fossil, my job is actually hard physical work.
I play videogames to relax and get a little escapism.

It's better than spending all that time staring at the TV watching the mindless drivel that passes for entertainment these days.

At least with games my mind is active and working hmm?
Solving problems, overcoming obstacles, training HEC and mental mapping skills.
I play with my friends... lots of friends, from all over the world, different cultures, different people, it's a great way to meet new people.

This headline should read "old man confused, scared of social evolution".
Because that's all that's happening here.

Values change.. deal with it.
Evolve or die.
