Gamers: Are they bad people??

some people are just envious because they don't know the stuff and well as teh saying goes, people fear what they don't understand. they might as well get a psp or an xbox or go online and start playing lol. it's a good way to release tension.

i think that the supposed link betwwen video games and immature actions is true. sure immature people play video games but it does'nt mean that every who touches a ps2 controller will go pull stunts from jack ass.

what do you think about the supposed link?

Saying that someone who plays video games is immature is just looking for an reason to call that person immature. Sure some people who play games are immature but most often that not, that person was immature to begin with. Just because you play games doesn't make you immature, if anything I'd say the person accusing you of being immature is the immature one.:laugh:

Everyone that plays video games is immature? Sure, just like everyone who drives a car is a complete rev head, taking every corner sideways...

Though I haven't been able to play on my computer online for almost a year now (damn virus), I used to play as stress relief, entertainment & yes, at times just to watch stuff go boom, even if it was me all too often. It gives you a break from reality, where you can be whatever your character is.

Also, I've found reports saying playing video games, because you have to teach your body a new way to do something it already knowns, it helps your memory stay with you longer in life. They've compared the results to speaking a 2 or more languages, your brain having to work out how to say what your trying to get across in more ways than one. With games, you have to move your hands instead of your body parts to duck down, creep around a building & shoot some guy from the other team.

well it still stands that many people around the world are trying to blame games for todays problems and immaturity is just one of these problems. people try to blame youth's violence on games. the most rediculous case being columbine. yes he loved to play doom but so did i as an 8 year old and i havent went crazy and went on a killing spree yet.

I play video games a lot and I am more mature then people I know who do not. But to say that people who play video game are immature is sterio typing them just because a few gamers are laud mouth bafoons.

Bottom Line: Some people are immature, Some people arent
it's not because of Video Games that they are, it's becuz of their brains and how they think. that's just the truth, no one plays GTA an goes out and does it becuz of GTA, they do it becuz of their BRAIN an cuz they wanna go do it, the game didnt tell them to go do it. thats like sayin guns kill people, they dont, stupid fools with guns kill people

Hmmm, immature people watch TV. So Does watching tv make you immature? No!! People are immature because there real young or have a personality defect. They were that way to begin with, Video games didnt cause it. All i can see video games doing is making a immature person more immature maybe. But its not the direct cause.
