Rae-24 F Gamer "Apart from that the games developed nowadays happen to be a lot more violent thus the gamers do have a tendency to lose control and become more aggressive. " Youth crime and violence is down over the last ten years. One bad fact makes me question the rest of the article. 8/21/2009
Anon. P It is a hard topic to critisize or oppose, yet it is also hard to support as there are many arguements that can undermine anothers theory.
Some children WILL take advanatage of games in schools and do the wrong thing, whereas others won't. Children need to be educated in the risk factors that accompany playing games 24/7.

Nobody Dear readers of this commetn,

Hi! Do you need a second opinion on video games? Yeah? Well, OMG, chek it out, here it comes:

KK, so I think that video games are not the best idea for free time. It's true, some kind of video games such as wii,are exelent because you move and it has no violence at all.
Thank you for reading my tiny coment!
Sincerely,
NOBODY

Winston Vargas First off.. video games are not bad when done in moderation.
Secondly, we need to teach our children the value of self-discipling so they themselves know when to stop when it becomes an addiction
Thirdly, They must know the disadvantages of having to spend too much time in gaming.

mr.gdedgg I think it is real bad kids the stuff the game has like killing people I for one think it is wrong that they do that in front of other kids so they also do it. Ithink games are also fun too,but then you get... oum focus on the game but then focus when you turn the system you are ok. 6/16/2008

Mean C "... children who spend too much time playing computer games not only are easily susceptible to long terms problems like bad posture and RSI (repetitive strain injury), but it also causes a disequilibrium in their daily routine..." Bad posture??? yea and big time truckers suffer from horible posture and have a wicked case of BN(But Numbness), posture can be so bad that sitting on the crapper is now done by standing up and with a tube! So please donate to day at Pain_in_the_but truckers org sorry to say but i really have to agree with my teachers on this. never trust a "(dot) com" as a source.

there are better issues to waste your time on. Oh! and please donate today!

Mean C I dont know where some of you people get this crap but if you let your mentaly challanged children play "M" rated games then what the frig you thick is going to happen?? Its not the game, its the perents who let them. I"m a gamer and no i havnt had the suddon urge to kill anyone. Where're not all crazy. 3/19/2008
terrance watts i believe that games are one of the best things to happen to America since the dawn of the computer 2/28/2008

Oliver I am having a debate for school about if video games do more harm then good and this has really helpped me out. 1/29/2008
anonymous those who become violent arent violent because of video games. violent people play violent games in real life and on Xbox or whatever. nobody has become violent through video games alone. i agree that parents should limmit violent games to certain mental ages for gneral reasons, but too much limmitation can cause exess rebellion, increasing into anger, then violence for ages as young as 5 years old. 1/23/2008
chibes Video games are awesome and are the center of the industry today 12/3/2007
Cory Charvat I belive that the people that are against video games, lak the ability to realize that the world is changing. they need to get over it because in the future halo 3 will rule all game systems. 12/3/2007

A nobody not to good 4/3/2007
Hillary I am doing a pursuasive paper and I am debating that they should put a rating on the video games. And I was wondering that if these affects are showing dont you think that someone would do something more like the people who decide wether this is a game that is too violent? Or how this article said that an 11 year old boy was sent to the hospital witih a condition known as 'Nintendonitis', dont you think that the people who create the video game would think that it is too long and addictive that they should cut it shorter? Because I know some games that you have to complete some certain level before you can go on. I think that some of the video game designers should just think about the effects. 3/28/2007
scott I think that the games do help! 3/23/2007
steven kraft I think that violence in video games is not that big of a deal. We have alot of non violent games out there and it helps kids with decision making, problem solving and all that!!!! 3/22/2007
shonta I think games are wrong because it involves alot of health issues. Kids are in the hospital because of games it is not good at all. 3/14/2007
