We re Surrounded by Morons, Idiots and Assholes!

First watch this vid because most of my ranat will be based on this:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/163925.html

Where do newscasters get off on the violent VG bashing. I was given little to no supervision of oversight on the games and films I watched in fact in most cases it was my dad who bought them for me, the point I'm trying to make is that I chose not to go looking for pornography in my house when i was on my own, I have yet to kill anyone but the conservative base of modern western society deems that I am the type of person who is going to end up destroying the county!

Okay, I'm the first to admit I didn't turn out to be the hallowed normal, but I manage to get by, I have friends and I study for my qualifications. I may have a slightly consuming imagination and have trouble seperating reality and dreams but I've been like that since before I ever started playing vids. ( please note due to a vocabulary that usually doesn't refer to a single thing so much in so short a time and not wanting to refer to repeat the same names over and again I shall be forced to use leet, I'm sorry)

The fact of the matter is Computer games are only ever criticised by non-gamers and defended by gamers, there seems tto be no middle ground and as can be seen in the news clip the nons generally do not get their facts right and hardly ever get challenged on it.

Granted this a fairly onesided veiw on the matter, for instace some people who are more easily influenced may do something violent because they saw it in a game but then again violence is everywhere and although we shouldn't rub peoples faces in it, it doesn't mean we should ignore it, insulated like some "Brave new world" bottle children.

Rant over, probably. Unless I see something else that i deem unfair.
Well unfair enough to dedicate a blog to.
And now a warning about cats

Pax
Don

Yes thou mayest sigh,
And take one last look at all around,
At stream and bank, sky and ground,
Thy life its final course has found,
And thou must die
-Sir Walter Scott

mmmm well i see your point. But i have to say it is only what i would expect for the media, and especially american media as they are a little bit more moralistic than us brits.

but what i would say is that ignorance breeds contempt...if you dont know about something...it induces fear.

i personally wouldnt play these games, and im hoping that my two childrens addiction doesnt get past club penguin. not because i disagree with it all but because theres a lot more to do with their lives than that and people can become addicted quickly.

I can understand what you're saying, some people lose themselves in a game to the point where nothing else matters. For those people I just hope that they have loved ones to help them out of the pitt.

Thanx for reading. :)
