Do Video Games Waste One's Time?

Post » Mon Oct 17, 2011 3:29 am

I find it hilarious that on some talk shows they say "Video Games are damaging our kid's minds!" while they then go onto to talk about soaps, you know, the one where that woman is looking after the baby while the real mother's in prison but then the real mother comes out and somebody gets divorced, a tram crashes and kills loads of people. :whistling:

I just know that somebody will make a reference to the soap you use to wash yourself.

Isn't everything, in the end? As others have said, do what you enjoy doing.

Whether something is a waste of time or not depends on your opinion. I enjoy playing video games so I don't consider them to be a waste of time, my parents do though.


This. I mean, if you are on 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Then sure it could be a waste of time. But in my opinion, as long as you balance them like anything else. Like just a few hours a day or if its crap weather like a storm or something then longer hours. Its no different than watching TV or being on the computer for the same amount of time.

No more so than reading, sports, writing, TV, movies, or surfing the internet do.
