A possible ban for games:Boy Shot Parents Because They Took Video Games Away

[Eryth]

Oh, I've known that for years.
You just gotta watch out for 'em and help 'em out when ya can.

And hope you don't become one of them. Insanity may be, in fact, rather infectious among some circles of gamers, or as some psychologists will try to prove... Gives me the jitters just thinking about zombie children running around trying to zap people to death with Wii-motes.

All doom and gloom aside, you guys are all sane, right?

huhga...that is a creepy thought...

Most of the people on this site have, as one user's now-deleted spam/off topic, "...a healthy level of insanity."
The way that I put it to people: "If you're not slightly insane, then no one can take you seriously."

lol, that's an interesting way of putting it...

Insanity, a necessary evil

Oh man, I always say instead of blamming the game parents should take responsibility and take control of what their kids play, but now...

I can't belive it, that's just horrible...

Short answer: Yes
Long Answer: No

[Hakudamashi]

Short answer: Yes
Long Answer: No

I don't get it 

[SonicFan47]

I don't get it 

Short Answer: Yes; Video games should dissapear because of negative influence, contribution to obesity, and other health conditions.

Long Answer: No; Video games should not be removed from the market. Video games may contribute to violence, theft, obesity and other health conditions, but it is not the only factor involved. Another is outside influence, while yet another is a simple lack of common sense. Video games can also be used for educational purposes, such as simulator uses (flight sims, surgery sims, etc.). They have also been used in rehab (both for mental trauma and for disabilities) and in mental/visual training.  Basically, they can do as much good as bad, just like a lot of things.

(The whole "Long answer/Short answer" thing came from my 9th grade geography teacher)

Well that makes everything clearer XP
no really it does,but ppl can't seem to see the good part 

[SonicFan47]

That's cause the bad sticks out to our minds more.
We see it as more important than the good which, sometimes, it is.

[Hakudamashi]

sometimes
not ALL the time

not ALL the time 

True, but I think that it's MOST of the time.
Like 75% of the time.
