Never ever give your government wide sweeping ambiguous power or you will pay for it. Patriot act was the worst blow against freedom of our time.

If GWB was just a bit smarter, Star Wars would be prophetic. I'm certain he's been talking with Saddam saying something to the effect of "I will make it legal!"


Ummm... you do know Saddam is dead, right?

He's wrong there's no evidence that playing counter-strike harms children? So present the evidence. Stop making assertions you can't back up. None of your three posts so far have contained a single scrap of useful argument.

I just looked at one of this guy's other videos (of his son at 4 playing counterstrike) and he has this comment on it:

For those who feel the need to post "bad parent" comments, get a life. There is no evidence that playing this type of game does anything but improve hand eye coordination. My son is a social and academic achiever at the top of his class. He knows the game is pretend.
To me, this is no different than playing "cops and robbers" with cap guns as I did as a child.

He is so wrong.




That's not exactly what I was saying 'He is so wrong' about actually. I was saying that in regards to it being no different to cops and robbers. Playing cops and robbers is effectively playing tag... really, that's all it is. You could also suggest that Counterstrike is also like playing tag, except that it involves playing with guns and seeing relatively realistic depictions of death.

Look, I know that the kids that I see who are exposed to this sort of thing a lot play and behave differently. My own kids, when they watch a small bit of Star Wars (only some bits, even that film can scare a 4 year old), they get into pretend light saber battles with each other and play really roughly for the next day or so. Not let them watch things like that, and instead they're building train tracks, building things out of lego etc. etc. Constructive vs Violent play.

I don't have the time to track down a study that says it's harmful to kids, I'm sure they're out there, I'm sure that there are also those that say it has no effect, I'm rather numbed to 'studies' these days as so, so many of them are poorly done, don't take into account other factors and come to bizarre conclusions. Not to mention you find out that many of them are sponsored by some group with a vested interest.

I would really like to see what this kid is like in 10 years time, I really would.

I'm certainly not a 'shelter my kid from everything' kind of parent, certainly not in regards to climbing trees and what not... but really, do they have to be exposed to this kind of violence, especially violence they are in control of at this young an age.

Give them a chance to have some innocence before you try to turn them into your gaming buddy.

It's all about age appropriateness. Not 'games are bad' vs 'games are good'... just in general, think about what you expose your kids too. If they DO get exposed to violence or the like, at least discuss it with them so they understand it.

well yes. it's a sun and moon. you can even tell that by reading y**tube comments. but they look like spaceships! it's cool!

i mean yes they look like the sun and the moon.

but they also look like the last bit in star wars. the "sun" is a TIE figher and the "moon" is definitely an X-wing. Look carefully. Squint. Turn your monitor upside down.

The question is, how did the artist who created this painting manage to see Star Wars hundreds of years before it came out? ANSWER ME THAT!
