"Frumpy Mom" Says Videogames Made by the Devil

[The Austin]

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

AH MEN!

 

[The Great JT]

Are we sure this mom wasn't the mom from Waterboy?

 

[IanBrazen]

The internet sure does make people opinionated.
I dont even think I can comment on this, Ignorance is everywhere.
Ill tell you what is making America stupid, [HEADING=2] People who don't do any research on the subject they are writing about![/HEADING]

I know this is just a blog but when it comes to video games, NO ONE does any research on the subject.
I am mainly referring to Fox news here, but it is everywhere and its pissing me off.

Is that her son in the picture, because he's playing Mario Kart.

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.

Maybe if he was playing this.

BOOM! HE JUST DESTROYED YOU, YA CRAZY *****!

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Was, I the only one that thought "So the Japanese Bombed us 60 years ago, let it go lady." After reading the title? But honestly it's just stupid to claim Electronics prohibit kids pondering the universe, which is ironic since she wrote that using an Electronic.

 

[DarkRyter]

I look at that little kid in the picture and I can't stop thinking about his ds working and how mine isn't.

 

[ejb626]

Jesus Christ Fox News would consider this far-fetched

If her children commit matricide they'll probaly be let off the hook (OK, OK that was a little morbid but I really hate people like this with a passion, I even bolded the really for emphasis.)

 

[Nannernade]

Lol, it's so funny to see those people that are waaaaay to into religion, they're crazy.

 

[Chancie]

Wow. She's...I have no words for her, actually. ._. That's just insane.

 

[Sinisterair]

[I'mANinja]

I dropped by the blog and ranted on about how god was fake and religion has destroyed her, just to sure her how it feels, may be banned from that site.

 

[chefassassin2]

I have to agree with a great many opinions on this one. Video games=stupidity and were created by the devil? I think that has to be one of the dumbest opinions I've ever read. However, it's an opinion, and she's welcome to her own. Me, I'm just going to go on playing video games, and leave her to her puritanical views, silently and gleefully hoping that if she reaches the pearly gates, Saint Peter hands her a Wii-mote and facepalms in ffront of her.

 

[esperandote]

"After my son plays [videogames] at his friends' houses, he comes home irritable and testy for the rest of the day,"

maybe that's when he realizes the most that not all moms are idiots

"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."

People pay her to indulge in ignorance and spread hate? On firetrucks!?!?! (Why would she be proud of riding in cop cars, that's a bad thing no matter how you look at it)

....

Can I get this job? But with pro-gaming?

This creepy looking mother (I'd be depressed if this was my mom):

Obviously doesn't have the skill or patience to be a real writer. A fucking novel writer.They're the ones who work their asses off when they aren't being lazy.(don't get me wrong journalists are pretty hard working too, but Blog-journalist writers? no.)

I hate giving people un-needed attention.

Spoiler: Angry rant from a tired and annoyed gamer. Warning for profanity.

Ugh, I'm just tired of it. I'm sick of this crap. Parents blaming a media that carries just as much guilt as any other electronic media, hell, even as much guilt as my radiator (those radiators, they're plotting against us!). They have no valid arguments for this kind of thing, yet they still get the chance to talk in the media, while gamers who would love to speak for their own cause gets stuck sitting on their ass watching how these people keep blabbering on the TV. Oh, the wonders of the magic talking box!

The day they hire speakers on gamer's behalf to debate these nutjobs, I will be the first in line. I will go through history of gaming, explain how gaming has not done anything bad, but in fact has also helped people(wanna ask how I have an A in English?) and best of all, shut up those idiots (I was going to write something much worse, but I hesitated) who try to destroy a media like they're the almighty prophets of God. There is a simple solution to making your child not play games. Don't buy him/her the fucking game and be a "good" parent!

And stop preaching to other people to stop gaming. I know how to handle my own life, no self-important ***** of a mother should walk past me and just take it from me. I'm happy as a gamer, I've met people through gaming, I joined The Escapist through gaming and have met some of the smartest people I've ever talked to. If gaming wasn't there, I'd just be another depressed child sitting in my room, thinking if I should jump out the window. No, I'm not referring to emo or anything like that if that's what you think, my point is that gaming has not only been a fun little hobby, but a life-saver to me. It has saved me from depression many times the last few years through the simple actions of distracting my brain from real life. Don't people understand? Ask the people on this great website, and we can simply ask how many have "ruined their lives" through gaming and the gaming community. Most would probably say that gaming has improved their lives, without having to lie!

If there's one thing religion has made itself ironic over, it's that people oppress other people through imposing their values on them. Yeah, that'll get you into Heaven. Liberate a group of people of their choice. ("Hey, turns out we were wrong. It says "Deliver us from free will", not "Deliver us from evil"") Doesn't matter how small the group is, doing that is "the devil's work", if we are to speak in their terms. God, these people piss me off. If it's my God that is real, he'll be existentially face-palming over the universe (I'm a deist).

Sorry for the long rant and harsh language, I'm tired, having a bad day and this really snapped the twig of the day. I hope the mods and members won't strike me down too hard for my little hate speech.

Also, if I could get any person to hold this little speech in public, I'd resurrect George Carlin. He'd be perfect for the job.

In the words of Kevin Pereira . . . TEST-TI-FY!!! Also Deism is one of the only religions I can understand. lol

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.

I have saved live lambs for the day where someone would offer to sacrifice something with me *sob* I started to think it would never come.

Lets do it, I have enough for each of us to kill seven lambs.

 

[Danpascooch]

Rage...building!

I thought we took those people out when we killed jack thompson, oh well more crazys to take out.

You killed him!?

...Why isn't there a holiday for that!?

There is, it's on the calender, that is, is the calender.

Life is the holiday now. Such an important event can only be properly celebrated constantly, every day.

 

[enzilewulf]

O yes, Your right, You typical Christian soccer mom, Y'know why don't we get rid of video games, That way kids can actully form opinions about politics andthe war in Iraq that way you can argue with them on they way home from soccer practice? Yeeesh.

 

[Deathman101]

Damn it, she got us there.

Hail satan!

im with your furburt if games are made by the devil the devil rocks.
and religous zealots from amercia these days when they cant find anything to exorcise they try to bash video game. NO DEAL LADY YOU DONT SEE ME BANISHING CHRISTIANITY!

As Tenacious D has shown us, the devil makes good metal too.

On topic: I wonder where this thought occured to her? Was she randomly walking down the street when she had this revelation?

 

[FoxyStig]

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.

That never happened.
Ever.
He used the apple in an example regarding calculus.
YOU HEAR ME, WORLD?
THAT IS A MYTH!
In other news, I think I'm fairly brilliant, and I play videogames a crapload.
