But, that's an entirely different story.

So basically, all us gamers are alcoholic sociopaths hopped up on weed with no morals or self-esteem, who'll shoot up an unsuspecting school simply because "video games make people violent"

Spoiler: Click here to toggle spoiler

not to mention, gaming teach us the importance of head shots and gives us the perfect hand-eye coordination to get the job done.

Lovely.

Did I miss anything?

Btw, I don't drink, smoke or do drugs so I find this to be quite laughable.

But you're a girl, Mithra... so that means you have no self esteem... of COURSE you drink and do drugs.

Of course, of course, what's wrong with me? :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

I'll have to pick up some hard liquor and some "cannabis" on the way home from work. Any suggestions?

Wait, can crazed, antisocial gamers work? I may have to quit my job *gasp*

I think the world's population likes having a scapegoat on deck, and thats what gamers are.
When soemthings happen that people cant explain ( School Shootings, Suicides, Emotional Issues, Addictions etc.) we need something to attribute it to, that way its not a "Damn, I cant even understand why that happened" and more of a "Ah, it was becasue of their involvement in ____ (i.e Video Games), that helps explain it."

So yeah, it is BS indeed but ikinda understand why its done.
All I kno is that ish does not apply to me So im Straightttt

you can work when you're 14 but you need parental consent and you have to have reduced hours and time restrictions.
