Oh dear I think you need a bit of video games so you can man up. Bullshit being violent lol. I hate to tell you but someone calling your post what it is is not violent.
I said it had many violent undertones. Let me refresh your memory so I don't have to rely on you reading through it completely. ( I realise that is not a strong point of yours to say the least.)You know what an "undertone" is right?
-"Bullshit!!!! Pure and utter Bullshit. Rising cases of ADD my fuckin ass."
Let's ignore the fact that you disagree with me. Here we have the use of 4 exclamation points to drive home your point. Not anything in and of itself but let's mix it with profanity and 3 statements in a row that essentially say the same thing. SOmething that is a dead giveaway of hostility.
-"are no longer allowed to give them the ass kickings they deserve for thier disrespectful behaviour."
-"WE CAN'T FUCKING WELL HAVE THAT CAN WE"
This time lets use caps and profanity as our closing statement to refer to the rediculousness of the post you obviously did not read all of.
Now lets look at all the facts shall we. How many of these undisiplined kids are coming from broken homes? How many are latch key kids? How many are raising themselves because the economy is in the crapper so thier parents are working 2-3 jobs? Oh no none of that can be a problem now can it? No it must be video games that are corrupting our youth. There is so many factors to this you can't just point at 1 aspect and say well that is the problem. Well I guess you can if you are a moron but it doesn't solve anything. It doesn't help anything. Because the only thing that will help is not getting them away from violent video games. The only thing that is going to help is getting them in homes with people who have parenting skills.
There is so much here I would have to disect it into little quote nuggets to fully cover it. It is apparent you have yet to go back up and read what you originally quoted. I know ~3 paragraphs is alot for your "mature" mind to have to sit through and logically follow. First off, once again I said this plays a role. I repeat a role. Never one time have I pointed out that this alone is the sole contributor to the problems I sited. I said it has an influence. Are you seriously so dense you cannot see how this has any influence whatsoever?
Because if so you are just as bad as people saying it is the sole contributor. Saying that large exposure to mature content has no effect on a child is as foolish as saying that it has brainwashing effects on a child. It has effects. Which child do you think would be better behaved if one only was allowed to play Mario and Link as opposed that was only allowed to play Saint Row 2 and GTA? Seriously, man, put down your soapbox, it isn't helping anything. My whole point in my post stresses the fact that it has to do more with parenting than the games.
Have a look at the part I bolded. Which child is more likely able to be able to play these mature games society is trying to tell parents not to let you kids play? Ones like you state or ones with solid parental supervision? Are you still unable to form any connection here? Are you even still reading my post is what I am really wondering at this point and not just skimming it. This material is like smoking. It isn't going to kill you on your first puff, but prolonged and large exposure to it is not only "not good for you" it is bad for you. Make sure you read all of that sentence and not just the end of it. Find the full meaning of the sentence. It is especially bad for someone who is developing and has yet to really establish solid social skills.
Alright, I may as well end it as I will be surprised if you manage to read all that. I ain't even going to bother responding unless the arguement actually has some thought put into and not just drivel. All you are doing is pointing at "the man" and blaming him for all of it and giving video games a free ride. Stubborn ignorance like that can't not be reasoned with and thus, is as stimulating someone beat head against a brick wall in hopes the wall will create a door for them.
