"Frumpy Mom" Says Videogames Made by the Devil

[SageRuffin]

I guess it's a good thing I'm quite a productive - and excessively geeky - member of the Armed Forces.

Anyway, wasn't it speculated that the apple fell on his head? Video games or not, I'm pretty sure someone notices being randomly bludgeoned by hanging fruit.

Just saying.

It honestly astounds me how people like this manage to feed themselves.

I think it was Dawkins who said "if you think your Napoleon your not going to find much support for your delusion, but with religion you get enough support from your peers to maintain your delusion and fantasy becomes fact by the mere passage of time."

But my point is.... shes not alone.... someone would be helping her with stuff like that, someone who probably thinks if they eat little bread flakes and drink small sips of red wine they will acheive imortality.

I would hate to live in that Bible Bashing household. Come to thin of it, maybe Satan is pissed of he didn't think of videogames first, so he created all the "Frumpies" in the world.

I disagree with what she says, At the same time I also realize this is merely her opinion. Everyone is entitles to their own opinion. No matter how silly or ignorant they may be.

Overly-religious extremely conservative people are idiots. End of story.

If video games are made by the devil, then call me satanist and give me something to sacrifice.

Guess what, overly-liberal extreme democrats are idiots too. Let's not forget that it was Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman that led the charge with our good buddy Jack Thompson to get video game legislation passed in the wake of Hot Coffee.

The interesting thing is that, when you strip out all of the other technology issues and deal JUST with videogames, you'll find that among the general populace it's the conservative parents that complain the most about how bad games are and what they are doing to The Children. When you get over to the politicians it seems to me like it's more liberal democrats that ***** about how videogames are corrupting our children and turning them in to school shooters just waiting for the trigger word in a videogame to send them on a Columbine style rampage.

I would say be glad these two groups will never see eye to eye of far more important issues than videogame regulation or as gamers we'd all be fucked if they actually banded together and tried to do something. Our government has been proving since the 1950's that they Constitution doesn't mean a damn thing to them.

Hey! I did not create video games! Kinda wish I had though... oh wait... I am a normal man... Yesssss. All hail Satan (me)

 

[MurderousToaster]

Hello, whine-one-one? We need a WAAAAAMBULANCE!

 

[HotShooter]

Well I guess Hell won't be as bad as I originally thought.
And what is the bullshit she is spewing about kids not pondering the universe? I play videogames almost EVERY moment I can, yet I still talk to my friends fairly often about the way the world works, how I see it could be improved, and the numerous ways a stupid, ignorant mother can be assassinated.

 

[AngloDoom]

Everything that people don't understand is the devil.

Hell, if I was that loopy in my views of religion, I'd consider Ugg shoes and huge sunglasses the instruments of Satan.

 

[agrandstudent]

In one of her previous articles she says she can't help her son with his math class because she doesn't remember and never learned how to do 7th grade math.
http://themomblog.freedomblogging.com/category/frumpy-middleaged-mom-marla-jo-fisher/page/2/
And in this new article of hers she claims because as a kid she spent most of her time obsessively reading she was "actually learning stuff ".
I wonder what she was learning if she could not and still can not do pre-algebra(Standard math class for 7th grade students in 2003 in the OC).

Being a resident of the OC I wish this wasn't the only thing wrong with the people of the OC.

 

[SonicKoala]

Ponder the Universe? I find that ironic coming from someone who is undoubtedly so clear cut in their opinion of how the universe came to be.

"So, disgruntled middle-aged *****, what do you believe is the nature of the universe and the true meaning of life"

"God put us here" (At which points she shits herself and then falls over in her chair, giggling madly).

Seriously, I can't stand ignorance. It's unbearable.

 

[GrinningManiac]

When do kids ever think these days? When do they ever have brains free from electronics long enough to ponder the universe? To think of things that might someday lead them to a cure for cancer?

If Sir Isaac Newton had been playing a DS, I'm sure he never would have noticed the apple falling from the tree, so he never would have formulated the theory of gravity.

when in FUCK'S name do kids ponder the universe? Issac was a fucking ADULT, you halfbaked waste of space! Good Grief!

In fact, no, I won't bestow the attention of a rant this woman clearly desires. I think she's just spiteful because when the computer told her to press any key, she couldn't see a key, only buttons

 

[rs2000]

My general tolerance for the Human race just dropped another notch >.<

 

[T-Bone24]

Fisher goes on complaining that she sees kids playing games everywhere, "On one horrible afternoon that scarred me for life, I even saw a kid walking out of the public library playing a Nintendo DS."

Don't let her near a history book, then, she'll see some real shit.

 

[mayney93]

Facepalm.

-_-
*Facepalm*

indeed.

i second that

 

[T-Bone24]

"I don't agree with this, therefore it's EVIL AND WRONG"

Her logic is stupid, her allegations are stupid and she needs to lighten up.

Also, more "pondering the universe", when do kids do that? Kids have a very busy schedule as it is. I mean, spinning around on the floor, resting after that and maybe, if they can find the time, they can pretend to be a dragon. When does the pondering come in?

 

[JoshGod]

well now i have to rethink things
if the devil made video games then by the devil i now know who im gunna worship 8)

on a serious note i need to go sacrifice a child to the god imhotep
what he's hungry!


but really if video games are bad than surely so is the tv the only diff is much more of tv is crap. and then we get onto her using the internet somehow that isnt evil aswell? its all distractions via a screen.

i also bet shes a religous person due to her devil believes
well religion heldback scientific advacements for a long time if this never happened idiots like you would have been given inteligence perhaps with a mental chip. or well'd realise the blight retards are and kill them.

im not even going to start about that ds gravity game lol.

p.s.
these idiots surve a useful purpose now i think about it to remind us of our inteligence and to be lold at

In case you are not familiar with "Grand Theft Auto," this is a socially conscious educational game, in which players portray criminals and earn points by stealing cars, killing people and destroying property.

Once again, for the god damn millionth time: Your children are not allowed to play these games. Also, since you somewhat stupidly admitted that you don't have a console, or a gaming pc, we can all safely assume that you haven't played GTA. Which means you're talking "as a mother", ie. "out of your ass".

I was too weird for most of the other kids to play with, so I spent most of my time reading obsessively, which of course only made me more of a dweeb. The difference is, in all that reading, I was actually learning stuff about the world, in a way that kids today never will.

I was also learning to think creatively, spell and build my vocabulary to the point that I was able to get a job as a professional writer, where people pay me to ride on fire engines, go on ride-alongs with cops and insult the makers of video games.

Pet Peeve of mine.. Reading doesn't automaticly make you smart. If you spend a childhood reading Dan Brown, the Twilight-series, and Forgotten Realms books, you're going to be just as dumb and uneducated as you were a childhood ago. Reading some random novel doesn't make you smart.

Also, the shape of her articles look more like my forum posts, than something to be taken seriously. Two or three sentences, enter, enter, and then she rambles on about something entirely different. I'd pay good money to find out who's paying for this kind of shoddyness, assuming it isn't Fox News.

This is a huge dilemma for me, because I always had this fantasy that my house would be the one that all the kids congregated at after school. I would be the "fun mom," the one who made popsicles, the one in the TV commercial with all the kids crowded around the kitchen counter, demanding more of those little pizza nuggets.

Yes. In order to achieve that, kids will actually need to like you. Also, if you're so goddamn smart from you books, why are you so disappointed when your life isn't a FUCKING COMMERCIAL?

Make them stop!

 

[Bigsmith]

Well, if she says we are then why the hell not.

would sacrifising a goat befor a raid increase the cance of me winning the items?

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Now..if this chick is right...then I wanna go cleric, so I can cast "Cause serious wounds" or "flesh to stone" on her...(didn't read more than the first page of comments btw)
