UK Counselor Likens Playing
Videogames to Snorting Cocaine. WTF. I\'m sure that video games are a
problem for some people, just like alcohol, other drugs, gambling, and

Well, I guess that a parent should not allow a kid to play PC games under the age of 16 at all.
Some light console games might be ok (wall tennis, golf, etc), but no longer than an hour per day.
And yes, the problem exists because the parents do not care about their children. They tend to forget that providing shelter, food and health care is not caring. Buying stuff, more stuff and even more stuff so they can play alone is not caring, neither. Caring is when you spend time with them - together.
You brought the problem on yourself? Well, take responsibility and deal with it! Grab that kid drag him/her outside to the beach/park/whatever on a daily basis. What? You don't have time or you don't like it? Do yourself and this little planet a favour and get an abortus next time. |

"Spending two hours on a game station is equivalent to taking a line of cocaine in the high it produces. “

Right, it's exaggeration, but you have to get their attention somehow to look at the real problem. |

Yep, another 'sue them all' case if ever there was one. At least it's only 50% of a line of coke since Sony removed the 'Other OS'. Every little helps -as they say  |

Tell me about it! I only snorted half a line just to get the same pleasure as I do from an hour of cs : source! No wonder more people don't take advantage of the benefits of drugs with misleading statistics like that! |
