"Frumpy Mom" Says Videogames Made by the Devil

[IrrelevantTangent]

[...] "The uniformity here is unnerving and depressing. Somebody, please, just for kicks, go nuts and say something that might not make the crowd cheer your name."

WHAT.

You say the uniformity is unnerving and depressing? There's UNIFORMITY because everyone agrees that your points are wrong, your facts are BS, and your theory is flawed! You've proven nothing and provided no concrete facts! And if you think expressing one's right to free speech is bad, you'll get a real kick out of Encyclopedia Dramatica.

'Unnerving' my ass.

I wonder how many writers would agree that newspapers are made by the devil and fill the citizens minds with unholy thoughts. It's strange to expect someone speak out against their own interests.

i can't believe people are so dense this isnt even worth my rant

 

[Smudge91]

oh..er.. well...erm..i'm just speechless really.
She thinks games are satanic with their age restrictions and the internet is fine and dandy to do a blog on and throw your self mercifully out onto the creul thing that is the interwebs? Something isn't quite right there..

 

[ynotgriff]

It's people like this that make me lose faith in the human race.

That ***** reminds me of the mom from The Waterboy.

Only, that mother used a metaphor. "(Insert thing she doesn't approve of here) is the devil!"

I actually laughed. The thing about the colour of skin is slightly true, and the Isaac Newton reference? My grades have been declining since I have gotten into gaming seriously, but, the Devil? If the Devil invented games, he's a jolly good fellow and should be knighted.

Video games are the devil. That is news to me. Someone needs to tell that to my youth pastor,church song leader,and several other members of my church including myself. My youth pastor has m rated games like modern warfare 2 and gears of war series. My youth pastor said there is nothing wrong with playing video unless it becomes a addiction and starts messing up the rest of your life . Someone needs to tell this to this crazy mother and make her get her facts straight.

Bet she's Evangelist. Seriously. The stupidity radiates from them.

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?

Yet if her kids turned atheist - she would lock them up.

facepalm

lady your kids pissed cos u are a ***** and wont give him a video game of his own... in his eyes you are pretty much the devil... just sayin

And if their interests are making a mistake? You don't think most people would at least consider that their cause would be wrong?

I don't think newspapers are the devil anyway. I just don't like people trying to turn gamers into stereotypes.

Joseph Priestly, considered the father of modern chemistry by the British, was a drunk. I think that enjoying video games is less detrimental to intellect than alcoholism, and yet he seemed to have done alright for himself.

 

[Killer Rabbit]

*Groan* How can someone be so ignorant to think this is true?

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

[Psypherus]

I can tell you now that when her kids grow up they wont be speaking to her. Way to lose your kids you dumbass

 

[Mr.logic]

I really don't like people like that. Ignorance is one of the few things that genuinely grind my gears.

Oh well, I'm not going to blame Christianity as a whole over it. She's just one person in the grand scheme of things.

i play video games up the wazzue you saying this is my fault?

 

[Elrekka]

I sent her an email with the link to this thread in it saying "You were right. People do share your ideals.

 

[Godhead]

Hey look! A Puritan!

If videogames are so evil, why does she have a blog on the Intarwebz? Surely there are much worse things here somewhere...

YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! We should give her a family friendly tour of 4chan.

Iron Maiden loved them some satan,

I personally like being in the same boat as Iron Maiden.

Oh, no. Most of them are committed Christians, and that song is a lot less cool when you know that it's basically just about a dream he had.

Well yes most of them are christians, but i'm actually pretty sure that Steve is an atheist

 

[DemonicVixen]

I get reminded of "The Waterboy" with the mother in that.
Which was also made by the devil.
As is the Escapist.
As are you.

Ah, i wish i could remember the other film which had an annoying parent similar to The Water Boy. The name pops into my head but i can't catch it. My thoughts net has holes.
I was made by a devil and an angel just like Little Nicky. I am who i am in a world of illusion that the devil temps us with...

Ok enough with the weird religious crap: Parents don't know when to quite. If they can't blame chocolate and additives for their children's behaviour then it has to be video games. If they can't blame the teachers for their children's lack of knowledge then its everyother parent's fault. I find religious people can also be the most pig ignorant. No offence to any religious people in here coz this is just my own personal experiance of religions talking.
They look to god to provide. If things go wrong its because God is testing them. If their kids are running wild its because god wanted them to have fun and be natural. If their child dies its because God wanted them to join him in heaven to play a special part. I find it all annoying. God, even if he doesn't exist, would not allow children to suffer and die. God would not allow parents to excuse their kids when they burn places down.

God would not give a damn if a child wishes to play on games consoles because he leaves the teaching to the parent and if the parent can't maintain control over the child's ammount of console time then they are just plain stupid. Even if the Devil had created video games, who is to say its because he is trying to rot the kids minds? No, that is the parents fault for buying their kids the games and the consoles and not restricting times. NOT THE DEVIL! Can anything be left to nature and humans instead of GOD DEVIL GOD DEVIL... its so irritating.

Yes flame me if you must but im not trying to be offensive. I have my own beliefs and ideas about God and Satan, about heaven and hell... I just find they don't fit into the stereotype that many boast about. Sometimes things are not in their control, sometimes they are. Why try passing the blame?
