In your opinion have video games killed todays society. IN my opinion it has. Instead of going out and playing some scrimmage baseball or football or hitting the local beach kids would rather stay inside all day long and play call of duty or world of warcraft. Dont get me wrong I enjoy video games but I only play 2 games per year really(svr 09 Mlb 09 the show) Have video games ruined todays society and are we promised any change with todays teens and college kids? IDK why I figured I post the vid(worth a watch while you read this  Its a Kick ass song though the vid weird. |

Nope. It's the parent's fault if they let their kid stay inside all day playing video games rather than throwing them outside to play or whatever.
It all goes back to blaming parents.

Nope. If you're lazy and lack ambition in the first place, you'll find reasons not to go outside or be active. People have been lethargic way before video games. I play video games but still have common sense to put them down and go outside every day and get some sun.

Yes, nobody EVER goes outside anymore, and the parents, through constant pushing and pandering just can't get their children to put down the joysticks and Funyuns. Let's also blame comic books, TV, movies, Dungeons and Dragons, and rock and roll just to cover all of our bases too while we're at so we don't have to take take fault for the fall of society. Especially American society. Americans are fat, uneducated buffoons that do nothing but play GTA and Halo 3 all day, those are clearly to blame for the crumbling American society, despite the fact that Europe, Japan, Australia, Korea, and pretty much any society with any sort commerce all have and play the same video games we do.

As things become more disposable to people, they feel the need to do less. They want it now, not later. It's why someone will get liposuction instead of working out. Society world wide is lazy in this fact. Video games are not to blame, no one thing really is. It's many things together but it still isn't just America.

Do I game a lot, Yes. Do I still go out, play sports and hang with friends, yeah. Society is falling due to kids not having discipline. I mean what is better, having your kid lay games too much, or having them do drugs? Yes, too much video gaming is bad, but it needs to be a joint decision on both the parents and children on making time to go outside and get fresh air and sun. Now in the winter I can see it being all right, but I live in Indiana where winter is  ing cold. If anything video games have been considered the enemy for too long, when really it is the child's/parent's fault. |

Just another scapegoat. Do you honestly think it's fair to blame the gaming industry on and entire generation of lazy fat kids with moms and dads who posess passive views of parenting? It didn't start with games. Before games there were comics. The media won't stop producing. It's up to the parents to be the filter. If they are taught at a young age not to indulge so heavily into less productive activities, then being adictied to games, and possesing the work ethic of a paralyzed sloth won't be a proble down the road.

Video games have been really popular since what...The mid to late 80's?
If anything, I think it's a mixture of crime and overbearing parents that are keeping kids indoors more and more.
Now kids have cellphones and earlier curfews.
When I was a kid when I'd usually play Nintendo for a few hours then go outside and stay out until 9...
I will say though, one time an older man/pedophile uh..."Propositioned" me. It had my mom on her feet for a while...But eventually things went back to normal. Luckily nothing happened. I could have been kidnapped or worse.

Those people choose to be inside. In some cases it could be the parents fault for spoiling the kid.
