The Weekly Debate Thread!

I would've started posting these last Sunday, but by then I realized that I was banned.

So this weeks debate:
Do Video Games ruin the minds of children?

I personally think so, to an extent. Take for example COD MW2. It takes control over certain things to not become them.

Discuss! Debate! Learn! Make a total fool of yourself!

I don't know, I don't play video games.

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 17:46:45

Oh my god. I never knew people like that actually existing. Boring people. *gasp*

There have actually been several studies saying just the opposite. Violent games do not produce violent children, it gives them a place to release steam.
Video games are not addicting, according to WHO.

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:04:08

I'm contented with shooting people in the head in Halo if it stops me from wanting to shoot them in real life, I guess.

I thought you were faking the ban.............

And it depends what game. If you play an unrealistic game(Like LoZ) you're less likely to be more violent then if you played Modern Warfare. And television is the same...........

Cousin watches iCarly: Swears, is randomly rude to brother.
I watch South Park : Don't swear, can get along okay with my sisters.

So give the SP thing a break.

I like South Park. I watch it every so often. I swear.

It depends, is your cousin younger or older than you?

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:21:19

iCarly is a devil show teaching kids to be evil. My brother watches it a lot though, for some reason.

She's only a month older.

And she's a lot different.

Before it was radio that was evil, then television, not its video games. I think the real reason that people turn out good or bad is their family and their upbringing but people tend to get offended when they hear that they can't raise kids properly so they blame it on something else.

iCarly is the antichrist.

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:29:01

No, I'm pretty sure TV's the reason I occasionally attack people with a hockey stick. Yeah, I'll stick with that.

Hockey Stick? Blame that on the movies.

Like the one in the movie Benchwarmers where they're playing Mailbox Baseball.

Let's face it. All sorts of media are poisoning our minds.

littletonkslover · 2010-02-21 18:31:43

I love hurting people big_smile

And hockey sticks.

Me and my friend kept slapping each other at lunch.

So many questions.....

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:41:13

Read 'slapping' as stabbing by mistake. Quite a chuckle, eh?

@ FMT: Feel free to ask.

@ Ace: ......Not really.

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:49:31

I'll ask too. Why would you do that?

littletonkslover · 2010-02-21 18:51:10

We were fighting. I forget why..........

It was probably over who should do the dishes...

Ace-of-Spades · 2010-02-21 18:56:22

So you took turns slapping each other until you cried blood? 6th grade is a jungle.

Sweet - I wish the kids at my primary school did that. It would be a good laugh.
