Father Raymond J. De Souza of National Post writes: "I learned the truth about video games the hard way, and so this is the lesson I offer for free: Don't play video games. Don't own them. And for the sake of all that is good and holy, don't buy them for your children."
"Video games are like a black hole into which time disappears. Students today often confess to wasting a couple of hours a day on them. Corporate Canada likely loses whole weeks of productive work to those who are playing games at work. Video games have some kind of addictive allure that means any number of hours is not enough. It is always possible to play again -- to rise to that 'next level' which somehow acquires near-mystical importance. They are the crack cocaine of the electronic world."
"Did I mention that far too many video games celebrate graphic violence, multifarious delinquency and borderline pornography? I don't have to. Tetris had none of that, and it was deadly enough."

i've forgone doing a cpl of homeworks/quizzes for gaming.
but anything that brings pleasure can be addictive.
driving can be addictive, cards, even reading.
the issue is being able to recognize when you have a problem and decide to get the help needed.
your a moron, i should not be having fun doing something i enjoy and instead think about the GDP and how best i can be more productive like a robot/communist/lemming/bored pos worker. Seriously you dont see people on the streets whoring themselves out just to get thier next video game.
yikes!!
