#9  Plus with games, the pause button is a diamond! So much better then missing out something important in a film! |

| | I think you took this thread off the deep-end deathknight. Why just because it was commented on that playing sports or other games outside is physically healthier than playing those same games on a video game system you had to bring drugs and gangs into the picture. If you have to go that far in order to support playing video games they must not be that good for the youth of the country. |

| | This doesn't surprise me at all, given the nature of interaction in video games combined with the unpleasant developments in moviegoing (commercials, lack of originality, etc.). It's no secret that less people have been going to the movies, as well as the fact that the kind of people who play video games is much broader than most people would believe. Also, darkchrono, you're making some questionable broad assumptions. I'd be careful with that. |

| | What? Exactly which broad assumptions have I made? The only thing I have stated up to this point is that it is physically healthier to go outside and play hoops in your driveway all day long than it is to stay inside and play a basketball game on your ps2 all day long. And questioned deathknight in why just because I first stated that that he had to go ahead and bring drugs and gangs into the picture. |

| Banned  | No, it means he's not that smart. But you also had no basis for bringing up fast food or even if they were "good" for the youth. The article mentioned that the average gamer was 33, and was about games selling more than movies, something else that doesn't burn off any fast food. It doesn't matter if a kid stays in to watch all 5 or whatever Loin King movies or plays Kingdom Hearts he's still going to be indoors sitting around. P.S. Movies are still a better source of entertainment. <3 |
