I know you are all very good friends with Doctors, but there is plenty of support.

Just the time alone, cant be good

I felt the same way until I discovered that the wife gave my son a bluetooth so he could play & talk with friends while playing for hours on end. Then I actually realized they (kids) could do more than text in their unintelligible language, and playing together online differed not all that much from some of what we did as kids. Go play ball for 3-4 hours and then video games for hours on end after that.

I actually worried the general same way about violent video games (for my own sons) as Biggie, but then lo and behold, my oldest grew out of the games by 13 (and the youngest is approaching that same arc) & are probably both better adjusted than I was at that age.

But that was a low bar to meet.

1. Parenting: diligently and vigilantly teach your kids the right things:

A. Responsibility for actions

B. Consequences of messing with weapons

C. Impart upon them the ability to root out bullshit messages and advice

D. Nip bad habits in the bud, and fast, before they can bloom

E. NEVER, and I men NEVER allow your children to take ANY psychotropic or mood-altering drugs, prescription or non. Don't turn to shrinks to fix problems that you should be devoting time to fixing. When they are 18, they can go to college and do whatever the fuck they want if they have thus far proven that can handle the responsibility of self-governance.

2. When are the drug companies and the lazy Psychiatrists going to get their huge share of responsibility pinned upon them? When are they going to face "bans", mega-suits, and penalties?

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Come on, you have never seen The Simpson or Family Guy joke about Seizures from watching TV? I think one of them had a whole episode on it...it is the same effect....maybe doesnt result in a seizure, but plenty of other negative effects.

I love though that Lipid is ready to defend the entire gaming industry.

I love playing Call of Duty. So much that I dont own it, I dont own a video game system, they are just addicting...

A few years ago I had my 7th graders form six groups to make up their own skits in reading class. Every group wanted to have someone shot or stabbed in their skit.

The problem with blaming video games, or violent tv and movies, or rap music is that in the United States violent crime has gone down as these have become more prevalent. Many numbers are at levels not seen since the 60s. Others are way down since the 90s.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

STOP STATING FACTS!!
