New law: 18+ to own/play video games

[Katchii]

I'd support it. Kids shouldn't watch tv/play games anyway. It just breeds autism and other problems.

Site a source that says video games cause anything, otherwise this is horseshit.

There have been studies that prove there's no link between video games and violence, specifically, so what "other problems" are you even referring to?

Also, biologically speaking, its impossible for video games to cause or, as you say breed, autism.

To actually achieve an effect you have to ban all kind of replaceable entertainment, such as TV, movies, etc. If you do this without banning them, they will just switch to those.

If all these things get done, then we will jsut simply return to societies in the under 90's.


Personally I disagree with any law that manages the conduct of people outside of crimes such as violence and stealing.

Theres no reason for it. I can't think of any benefits for adding such a law. It would damage the game industry and put companies such as Nintendo in a very shitty situation. Games help develop the brain, making you think about how you approach things and many games can help with communication skills, reading skills and problem solving.

Your location must be accurate if you really believe this.

After hearing the threats a bunch of 10-12 year olds make on COD, Swatting others and even getting some killed, because of a video game I kind of agree with this now. When I was growing up inthe 70s, and 80s the games we had were no portraying realistic violence . Now we have Virtual reality and 4k ultra realistic games. Maybe it is time to re-think this

This is true in my case. Raiding in WoW helped me be a better professional in my career. Better time management skills. Better preparation skills. Better communication skills. Better teamwork skills. It taught me to respect my leadership. It taught me to respect those below me. It taught me to train people better. It gave me better skills at typing. It taught me better research skills.

Basically, it taught me many things one would learn in college while preparing for the business world, without having to pay a tuition.

Closing this down since things went off the rails pretty quickly. Please don't create threads if you only want to turn around and derail them.
