You know, all the people that I was telling them that the computer games are just time wasting, were saying the same

Given that they are using game systems in seniors homes to keep their minds and bodies active seems to strengthen my argument, I don't play alot these days but still find it better and more rewarding then sitting in front of a TV show

But watching TV you get a new information (I don't mean MTV and crap like that), playing video games you're not as active as playing a sport game and you are not remembering the game after a few hours after playing.

You just use your fingers and a little of brain that's all, games were made for relaxing.

X-Box n PS, the male versions of farmville.

Thank God I gave up my addiction a few years after PS2 was released !

I'm a big fan of technology, but I never really got into these games, we guys like our toys but we like our toys to do something useful.

Yep...very true.....I play games, we have a Wii and I have some for my computer, but to get so caught up in one as to justify in ones own mind that killing over it is some how the right thing to do? We have a serious social problem with these games considering how often we are hearing stories along these same lines. Look at that couple, in I think Korea, who starved their own child while playing a video game about raising a virtual baby, like WTF? As for the guy in this case, the punishment should fit the crime, and this punishment handed down, doesn't.

Did you look at the games I listed? The Wii ones involve your whole body and give you some exercise, the Brain Age one is being tested right now to help prevent Alzheimers and Dementia, sure I play some games just to relax, others get me up and moving or challenge my mind.
BUT..... the whole point of my first post was that I 1: Play video games, 2: have a 15 month old child and 3: would rather spend time with my kids than sit on a machine all day

I agree, differnt strokes for differewnt folks as they say, personally I can't fathom how most of the people I know waste 4-5 hours a night in front of a TV just watching a bunch of shows, the only things I watch are hockey and the news

I seriously hope he has no access to gaming of any sort in prison.

How is 'sitting on your ass', watching a hockey game or a news program on tv any different from watching anything else for the same amount of time???

Well, as I said I don't sit in front of the TV every night at prime time and watch 5-6 hours of sitcoms and usless programing, I watch my team when they play (don't watch other teams) and occasionally catch the news at night, though usually I just read the paper and online news during the day, the time in no way compares to say my inlaws who plan their whole week of evenings around their favorite shows

He's addicted to gaming, I wouldn't give drugs to an addict in prison to keep him quiet.

Besides, he's in prison, why would anybody want a prisoner to be happy?

It depends from prison of what country and from what country is a person, do you think I wouldn't be in a good mood in Canadian or Norway prison, easy, you're mistaken.
