OK, parents are partially at fault--but what about the parents who forbid the games, but their kids get it, anyway?

What, you mean through a friend or something? Then the parents should smack them upside the head and take away the game, after giving them a good tongue-lashing.

Parents can only do so much. I still think the games have no taste, and I would be horrified to see a child or even an adult palying it....

Well, that's your personal opinion and I respect that, so I guess this is the end of my post.

I never steal and I'm a child--but some children steal.

I don't steal because I ain't poor, and my mum'd prefer me buy something and she pay for it rather than I steal

[Luigi]

OK. Can we all get back to video games now?

[lucklemony]

This is an article from the paper which I thought was interesting:

*DOC NINTENDO*

All those years on the couch playing nintendo and play station games appear to be paying off for surgeons. Researchers found that doctors who spend at least three hours a week playing nideo games made about 37% fewer mistakes in laparospocic surgery and performed the task 27% faster than their counterparts who did not play video games. "I use the same hand and eye coordinates to play video games as I use for surgery" Doctor Rosser, 49. -PA

What do you's think?

Of course it has something to do with it. The topic is "do video games promote violence", and this article is pointing out that some video games are actually good for you, in a way.

Video games are awesome for you. Seriously, if it weren't for video games I never would have developed my original art style (which has then mutated and evolved into something better!), or the crazy-ass way my mind works. It also got me interested into random angelology salsa, during the six months I got addicted to Silhouette Mirage.

Plus, the developed hand-eye coordination makes me kick ass at touch-typing.

On a completely unrelated note, I made up a fighting game character today. He attacks with a fork and knife that are bigger than he is.
