I agree.Maelgwyn said:Nah, I agree with her. But not totally.
Gaming and TV should be enjoyed in moderation. Kids do need to be stimulated by the outside (and not pedophiles) world as well. Heck, I know kids that like to make mud pies and then watch some TV...

Unfortunately, 90% of everything, ourselves included, suck.Machines said:...I agree, to an extent.
That's not to say that video-games are bad but kids really do need to learn to go out and play games using their imaginations a bit more.
Kids who rely on TV and games to keep them entertained seem to have little to no ability to free-think as everything is force fed to them.
I find it even more amusing how the answers to this thread so far are actually compelling arguments for people stating the negative impact of gaming. "Fuck you for telling me I should spend less time alone in my room looking at a screen" from 90% of repliers is hardly a good argument against how violent games affect peoples behviour.
Maybe you could petition god for a patch.Sir Kemper said:Outside, and The real world for that matter isin't fun. The NPC's are moronic, there are HUNDREDS of ways you can loose your life, and there's SUN out there, i mean i don't want to loose my pale complexion.
I mean, i'm supirised that The Real World got out of beta testing.

Ok you have a good point
I'm from America also, and I hadn't the slightest clue that the miss america thing was currently taking place... Then again, I NEVER know when these things are taking place... Goes to show how much their statements really matter after winning that little crown of theirs... As far as I see it anyway...
Nothing to see here folks! False alarm! She'll be forgotten soon enough... With a little hope anyway
Yeah, the Miss America pageant is no longer interesting. The contestants have become plasticized robots, by and large, and the 'omg my bff Jill' scheiße is far too ubiquitous to be good television.
I believe someone mentioned Miss America's trash-talking gays last year? Not true: she said that she thought that marriage should be exclusively between a man and a woman (I actually watched it, believe it or not- the one and only time). That's not bad-mouthing gays, that's stating her opinion, technically, which was exactly what she was asked to do. I don't agree with her, but I tip my to her for having the courage to say what she really felt, not what would give her the best score.
In general, I find it's best not to criticize something that I have not experienced nor been a part of (which is why I make it a point not to talk shit about gays or other ethnicities).
If by helps people you mean does nothing.DAVEoftheDEAD said:This Miss America isn't that important anyway. I guess being Miss America is the more sophisticated way for woman to flaunt themselves and make money! But she helps people right?
mk mk thanks for the clarification, i wasnt sure about what exactly she said. so thanks for setting the record straight...Spekter068 said:Fifty points to the person who hits her nose and yells BOOM HEADSHOT!mrx19869 said:mrx19869 hands you a rock...Nannernade said:So... how about we have a good ol' fashioned "lottery" heh heh, we'll make her the winner.
