I've just been told that video games are as bad as Heroin....no joke

[Hollock]

She is a troll, trying to start a real life flame war. Ignore her.

the advantage of real life flame war is that you can actually light themself on fire!

My friends and I get shit like that all the time, and we're usually playing pac-man

 

[Sonicron]

Wow... my dimwit-o-meter is going crazy over here - ignorance readings are off the chart. Could it be that we've discovered... the uber-moron?

 

[Casual Shinji]

Christ, where do you live? Vatican City.

Oh, that reminds me.................I need my fix BAAAAAAD!

 

[Mcupobob]

If I could experse laughter in anyway besides lol, I would. I've never heard anything as arrogant as that, about video games.

 

[alex1314159]

rather have a flatmate who plays video-games than one who shoots up heroin, that's all I'm saying.

 

[ottenni]

You should have said that it was ridiculous to say that as heroin is far more expensive and not nearly as exciting. Then you should elaborate about how Christal meth on the other hand is much more satisfying, then offer to sell her some dope.

Well, reading through this thread I learned one AND ONLY ONE thing: Despite years of our claiming(sp?) the contrary, video games are infact making us violent.
Going on the presumption that the OP just ignored her, he did the right thing. Some of the snarky one liners people have posted are Ok too.
Because gaming seems to be the "Cool thing" to target right now, gamers should just ignore these and let it all blow over.
When has violence ever solved anything anyway?

 

[Dr.Sean]

Tell her that her IQ is bellow 4.

While on a long bus ride back from college today, i took out my DS nd started up a game of Spirit Tracks. The women who was sitting looked over at what i was done and said, "Oh those stuipd things, there just as bad as heroin". Really? that bad? ive heard some people bad mouth games before, but never like that, anyone ever heard anything along the same lines or worse?

shoulda said something like, "when they get as bad as -i'll give you a blowjob for 2 hours of zelda- then i'll quit"

but yes, they are as addictive... we're just... kind of... smarter than the hardcore drug addicts. cuz... you know, we only may get fat, but those guys lose teeth, get aids, et caetera

Clearly, she has no idea what she's talking about. People that don't know about the subject at hand shouldn't make comments or share opinions about said subject...

 

[Zykon TheLich]

She is an idiot. Heroin is far better and far worse than videogames.

 

[The_Splatterer]

...Just... ughhh, god these people really annoy me. grr to the ignorance. Stressy to the ignorance
Ahhh i need my fix of MW2 now... just to relax..!

 

[quiet_samurai]

I would have said

"Yeah? You ever heard of someone sucking dick for Mario?"

 

[WorldCritic]

Easy way to let her know the truth. First let her play a bit of your DS and and ask her if she's addicted to the point where she must play more. When she says no, inject her with heroine and ask her the same question again about the drug. There, she'll have learned the truth.

Well... wars & stuff, you know...

... Then... what about violence on a more personal level?

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Has this woman done heroin and played video games? Has she done anything worthy of making such a statement? If not punch her in the **** and tell to go suck the nearest football playing jock-dick

 

[Irridium]

People like that really make me want to cry.

How can someone be so ignorant?
