This is a perfect example of why video games are MOSTLY a bad thing.

People going out with guns and blowing people away is not relevant to this conversation, that's a different matter entirely. Unless you're suggesting that as well as game designers being involved in a conspiracy with the government and wanting to break up marriages, they're also the reason for mass shootings?Quote:
It's easier to blame and then write people off so you DON'T HAVE TO FEEL ANYTHING, isn't it??
Could I not argue that this is sort of what you are doing? Easier to blame the videogames than than feel that the you and the people you care about are responsible? Lay off the hyperbole, disagreeing with your view doesn't make me an emotionless husk. I can have empathy and see that you don't like videogames because you associate them with the situations you've seen around you. I can still think you are blaming a symptom of a problem rather than the source though.
Welcome to the world of having a discussion with Wish. She's an angry woman who blames everyone else for the woes of herself and her family.

That's not how insurance works. They do the number crunching on who is involved in accidents. So here if you are under 25 your premiums go up, and if you are male and under 25 you have an extra premium.
Of all the recent shitful driving I have come across, it's been young males pumped full of testosterone, and very possibly ice. Fuckers, I wish I had a camera attached to my car.
I know how insurance works. I know how taxes work. I've done plenty of research into both subjects with many favorable results to me on the back end.
This is exactly how car insurance works.
If you don't live in an area where women have very obviously become just as obnoxious and commandeering as men overall, it sounds like living in paradise to me.
Paying nearly zero for car insurance is one of the very few "perks" that women have been grandfathered into since they were mistreated as a "race".......
There isn't ONE SINGLE GUY that works for the government or the insurance companies that will risk their career to make this Equal.
Have fun with your subsidized car insurance, Ladies.
Please do try to be responsible with it, huh? ;)

Except we CAN and we SHOULD in some cases.
Cigarettes. Cigarette companies put things they KNEW were addictive and toxic in their products. They KNEW as early as the twenties that they caused cancer just to be NEAR THEM and the eighties and nineties saw them become accountable for the ways they marketed to children and pushed it again and again on susceptible minds. Then let's talk about all the other products that have been knowingly misused and how the companies have had to admit responsibility and change or stop making it all together. I can think of a dozen just off the top of my head.
Gaming companies KNOW what they make are addictive. They engineer missions and levels that they KNOW will take hours to complete. They KNOW some people will play until they die. They KNOW that some children have no responsible oversight and they make such an addictive product that children can become so hooked they become obese and inactive.
You know those stupid tags on hair dryers that say "DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER"?? Those are there because some people REALLY REALLY DO NOT KNOW THAT and hence need to be protected. It's not up to US to judge a persons intelligence, but I believe the onus of the burden of fighting addictability should ALSO fall on the product makers, as well as the people using them.
I'm NOT SAYING ban video games. I am saying that there should be more effort by the video game companies to limit addictiveness and increase awareness of the effects of video game addiction.
My video game systems in my house are 2 generations behind. I refuse to play any MMO online.
I'm a recluse as it is. The last thing I need is to add something like that to my reasons not to leave my house on Friday night.

well the stats still show that men are much more likely be in serious car accidents and to be DUI than women, but perhaps you could move to Europe

I dont think society is perfect and I see that there are many ways in which our behaviour is driven by the machinery of it.
However, ultimately each of us does only have power over our own responses and it is up to each of us to take responsibility to the best of our ability.
Some people push all the blame back on the individual and dont look for external causes and some people put all the blame back of society and dont take individual responsibility for themselves. I have seen Wish fall into that category many times.
There is a middle ground.
